Wonderful character development!

Lack of good storyline.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

A tremendous view of Swansea, Wales and its kin. As an American living in Swansea for 6 years, this show proved my point of view. So VERY funny. I don't know why they did not make another series but I really hope they do. Note to BBC Wales. :)The daughter Candy is the same girl from the "porn" scenes in "Love Actually". One of the lighter moments from the show...look out for it "I'm an MPEG!" and "I'm going to change my name to Candy ZETA if I'm going to be famous!" And Griff Rhys Jones is further proof that Welshmen have a wicked sense of humor. Watch it and roar with laughter!!!!

The John Scott Martin connection is great. As broadcast on BBC America,this series proves that Russell D. Davies was the perfect person to adapt Doctor Who for a modern (mainstream) audience. In many ways it appears to be his love letter to Wales. For the first time since Blue Scar, a WELSH drama. It depends on stereotypes to be sure, but they are lovingly realized, full of nostalgia, beauty, affection, and great sentimentality. I love it, with a big smile on my face throughout. Brilliant. Without spoilers, the story contains superlative acting, realistic drama, lines and stories much more similar to "Bob and Rose" than "Queer as Folk" but similar in approach. One thing that really appeals is the direct comedy. It's refreshing that this seems to be essentially a comedy, without the constraints of "drama". Davies seems to relish in this liberation, especially the manicness this allows.

I completely agree with the other review. We started off recording this and watching Blackpool - by week 3 it reversed and we only watched the rest of the incredibly poor Blackpool (Potter knock-off) to get it finished.But Mine all Mine was a joy. It was funny, wonderfully written and beautifully performed (Siwan Morris is a superb discovery). The Shakespearean subplots gave the script a richness other writers can only dream of for their main ideas. The off-the-cuff humour had us in stitches (when Max takes over TV and accuses the helpers of grooming his son, the mad taxi rides, the slightly subverted fish-out-of-water storyline for Danny).Davies and Paul Abbott are clearly our best writers in TV (more so than the arrogant Poliakoff, who seems to be copy/pasting his stuff since the beautiful Shooting the Past).Nasty cliff hanger though. BAD ITV.Pleased to see it is finally getting a DVD release in March. Unlike Blackpool, we've already pre-ordered this one. Now how about Davies's kids progs finally getting a release?

Brilliant comedy. But it leaves me wondering; is that all there is? I really wanted to continue to see Maria (Siwan Morris). Never mind. Not many shows keep me watching. This is (was) one of the best. As usual, Griff Rhys Jones was funny as ever. I loved him in the Smith and Jones series. This is the type of show that is so stupid but so brilliant, that you just have to see the next episode to see what happens. Just when you think you have it figured out, something different happens that makes you laugh. I never took it seriously, but only as pure entertainment. The scenes with everyone running around like chickens with their heads cut off and the hurry, hurry, hurry music reminds me of the Benny Hill series. It seems like every episode had to have one. The biggest down fall of the show is that it finished tonight. It leaves you with questions? Like, Is there going to be another series?Jo Stone-Fewings, that played Danny had me laughing at the end. After I got used to his hair, I liked the character.
