All four series of the comedy drama set in Edinburgh, following the lives of three fortysomething best friends
Caroline, Fiona and Ruth are lifelong friends, who’ve grown up together, laughed and cried together, and stood by each other through thick and thin. They may not always see eye to eye, and they might drive each other crazy, but they can’t do without each other.
But life’s got a lot more complicated since they were 22, when the only things they carried around were handbags. Now, in midlife, they’ve got more baggage than the average airport carousel. Caroline’s been dumped by her politician husband of 10 years, Alistair; single mother Ruth is struggling with her monosyllabic teenage son; and Fiona’s walked out on her husband Roddy – and moved in with Caroline, in her poky top-floor Marchmont flat.
Over the course of several manic Midsummers, crisis-ridden Christmases and hopeful Hogmanays, they grapple with ex-husbands and new lovers; broodiness and babies; divorce, dementia and alcoholism – only to find themselves climbing their biggest mountain yet. Aided by Roddy, Fiona’s elderly mum Gladys, and Caroline’s larger-than-life dad Hector, they set about forging their own new, strangely shaped, thoroughly 21st Century family…
Written by Hilary Lyon, who also stars as Caroline, this funny, poignant sitcom is a love letter to female friendship – and to one of Europe’s loveliest capital cities, Edinburgh. Phyllis Logan and Adie Allen co-star as Fiona and Ruth, with Peter Capaldi and Stuart McQuarrie as Alistair, Robin Cameron as Roddy, June Watson as Gladys and David Rintoul as Hector.
