One of the best writers for radio ... Her dialogue works because it is so true - Simon Brett

An endearing portrait of exasperation, laced with hard won tolerance - and something like love - Guardian

Witty and warm - The Spectator

Beautifully written - Observer

Astute ... They are unlike anyone I actually know but, truly, I like them - The Times

Not just comedy but also a compelling, well-rounded drama. Brilliantly crafted, delightfully funny and perceptive ... they sparkle and spring vividly to life - Mature Times
