This is
rather good, but - despite its excellent pedigree - isn't exactly laugh-out-loud.
The series' premise (when the estranged parents' son dies they have to take
custody of the three grandchildren) would have as much promise as a drama,
although the grim nature of the situation might prove overpoweringly unhappy.
The best moments of this episode are dramatic ones of Maggie Prentice talking
to herself and remembering her son, rather than anything especially comic.
Even by the standards of the comfortable sitcom, the Prentices have got a massive house. The interior sets have been very well designed and dressed, like a show home. They've even got ceilings! In this episode the Prentices have a garden party, so we see more of it from the outside.
Its a shame that the lovely black Labrador pup couldn't have become a regular character, although she does naturally become the focus of attention and the most cheerful thing in the programme.
