Way better then Episode 2

This was a hillarious episode. The wedding taking place in a hotel and the ladies a dick so Bradley Walsh told her to basically have fun with your kid which was the funniest line. The setting was stunning again, I liked it when Bradley Walsh went in the hotel room and was pleased to be in there even though you know it wasn't too fancy that put a smile on my face, him just accepting the fact he's got a break from his kids. Some of the acting is wooden in parts but You know wasn't that bad the whole way threw. Some of the jokes really don't land for me, but good to see they were trying. I found this story to be relatively well paced it wasn't that boring but also wasn't that entertaining either. Hope you enjoy this!

Overall: 5.3/10.

Oh dear!

Remakes are rarely good (except for All Creatures Great And Small it seems. Even having the original Tristan, Peter Davidson, playing the vicar here doesn't help but his character is the one bright spot).

It's all very wooden with ma Larkin doing her best Pam Ferris impression, Mariette trying to be Catherine Zeta Jones and Bradley Walsh just being Bradley Walsh (it's a wonder he didn't get The Dark Destroyer to play the taxman Charlie).

There are some funny lines I grant you but like the recent Walter Presents English remakes; it is just too contrived.

It could be a long second half to the series.
