Oliver Parker directed. This is new material not based on Nick Hornby's writings.
The Gemma Arterton character is still trying to fight her way through sexism and old-fashioned values. At least finds an agent, an American. Just 4 x 45 this time.
Friends: Alexa Davies (rather good, I think) and Clare-Hope Ashitey. Writers Leo Bill and Matthew Beard. Useful new lawyer friend Lydia Leonard, Josie Lawrence (didn't recognise her). Director / lover Arsher Ali (who we just saw in Arthur and George). Barmaid Roisin Conaty comes in to save the show.
Good comedy routine at end proves the show will be a hit. Definitely room for one more.
