Episodes

Reception

The programme opened with strong ratings, securing 4 million viewers for the first and second episodes. That number had halved by the final episode. Writing in "The Guardian", Gareth McLean called it "so atrocious in every possible way - from its dire script through cartoonish characters to music that will have you hankering for tinnitus".
