About this show

From award winning writer Sally Wainwright comes this uplifting comedy drama about romance and second chances. Childhood sweethearts Alan and Celia fall for each other all over again when they are reunited on the internet after nearly 60 years. Their relationship is a celebratory tale of the power of love at any age. But this is also a story about family, and with family comes baggage. Celia's respectable, head teacher daughter Caroline juggles motherhood and dealing with her husband's infidelity, while Alan's rebellious, complicated daughter Gillian struggles to make a living on a bleak farm. How will these two very different women cope with their parents' announcement that they're getting married.

The twists and turns of relationships in an extended family are marvelously dramatized and quite believable. Celia's view of her daughters love life is eons away from reality and allows no personal freedom. So ..constant breakdowns while everyone including Celias new love interest( a bit out of touch) seek some common ground. Great supportin cast!

Lots of lose ends not tied up. What happens to the sweet little boy orphan? Why do neither Julien or Carolyn end up with partners? Why is Louis left stilted by the NZ woman? Someone got tired and didn't finish off there work. Disappointing. Obviously, there must have been a contract that had to be fulfilled so the producers produced "any old thing." A cruel thing to do to a good series. Why is this not available on Amazon, by the way? Another annoying end to the last series.

LTiH is made of excellent writing, superb acting and wonderful direction. This show and actors are the best on TV globally. Sarah Lancashire is a force of nature. Nicola Walker does the emotional heavy-lifting perfectly. Anne Reid and Derek Jacobi are masters at conveying honest heartfelt emotion. It is fair to say the entire cast is head and shoulders above the rest. All episodes are excellent.
