Summary

Free-spirited Emily makes a reluctant trip to her home town after her semi-estranged father goes missing amid fears for his life. It is not long before she discovers that all is definitely not what it seems in her old stomping ground. Unbeknown to Emily, her every move, and every subtle twitch of a curtain at her family home is under the constant scrutiny of a mysterious one-eyed man. Comedy drama, starring Natalie Dew, David Walliams, Sophie Thompson and Sanjeev Bhaskar

Review

First airing on Gold in 2020, this seaside-set sitcom follows 27-year-old Emily Verma (Natalie Dew), returning to her rundown childhood home town when her father, local legend Les Vegas (Sanjeev Bhaskar) disappears. There’s a cast of familiar faces working well within their comfort zones (B&B owners David Walliams and Sophie Thompson, Simon Bird’s copper, Craig Parkinson’s nightclub owner), but it’s none the worse for that.

A couple of cracking set-pieces, a lovely soundtrack and an undertow of melancholy bode well, with Hugh Bonneville still to come as a mysterious one-eyed observer.
