There is a strong undercurrent of female empowerment and friendship here, and the cast is excellent
Victoria Segal
The Sunday Times on Brief Encounters
“ITV have a new gem though, and it’s a perfect antidote to everything else on the small screen – a comedy-drama about the lingerie business in the Eighties”
Ben Travis
Evening Standard on Brief Encounters
“As a depiction of a very British sexual revolution, it was as soapy as scented bubble bath, as light as gossamer knickers (that’s enough, ed). And, like a 1982 playlist on shuffle, the era-reminding hits kept on coming: Human League, Modern Romance, a moody climax of Ultravox’s ‘Vienna’... Now that’s what I call an ITV drama”
