This started off well with a terrific cast and a good premise but has sadly transgressed into typical fluffy BBC fare with a nice family with nice problems and not much to say. Okay one of their kids has autism but that is no longer the focus of the show. And some of the characters are really annoying.
A bonus is seeing lovely Christopher Eccleston regularly jogging in picturesque countryside in shorts but he doesn't have a lot else to do apart from shouting at everyone and sleeping with his singing teacher (yes his singing teacher, as you do).
They should just call this show The Hughes Family or The Restaurant and just make it comedy-drama about a family who live in Yorkshire and want to open a restaurant and the drop the half-hearted Autism stuff.
Come on BBC you can do better.
