Series Two of A Fine Romance is well underway.
There's little to say that wasn't covered in the first episodes, other than it's extremely well-written and performed and very, very easy to digest. At this rate I'll have finished the entire thing in around five sittings.
Helen and Mike's mews townhouse looks adorably elegant from some angles, but then it's shown from others and it has a row of garages right next to it. I haven't been able to pinpoint an exact location, but according to this source it's in Richmond. I just took a nosy peek and found a similar-looking mews townhouse in the area currently selling for the best part of £1.4m!
Something I haven't mentioned is the physical comedy, but there's a fair bit of it, done with class. The sequence with Laura's lost contact lens in the restaurant back in the third episode was a great example of this, from her winking uncontrollably at the couple opposite them, to her looking down the front of her dress attempting to find it in her cleavage (telling Mike off for trying to aid this search) to her scrambling round on the floor while other patrons are stopped in their tracks from walking by. And then there's Mike sidling on his hands while seated on the long bench to get across without touching the floor, and leading two other customers behind him.Judi Dench also did some great drunk type acting when Laura had been anaesthetised at the dentist. It's all marvellously done.
