Gemma Arterton is quite simply brilliant in this adaptation of Nick Hornby's Funny Girl.
You'll be rooting for her all the way through and although you might have to take a few things with a pinch of, would that have really happened in the sixties, salt, there is so much to enjoy from the soundtrack to the spot on 60's sets and by no means least the laugh out load humour and cast chemistry.
Speaking of the supporting cast, they really bring their characters to life. Special mention for Arsher Ali who conveys so much without saying anything and Rosie Cavaliero for showing the frustrations of giving up everything for others.
I came away from each episode wanting more, just fantastic all round. Here's hoping there will be a second series.
