Written by Frank Cottrell Boyce, writer of Sometimes Always Never, The Claim, Goodbye Christopher Robin, The Railway Man, Grow Your Own, Millions, Welcome to Sarajevo and before that Coronation Street and Brookside.
Because of a plumbing problem, National Gallery curator Trevor Eve has to relocate paintings to the WW2 hideout in Manod Quarry, Northern Wales - a now (well caught) depressed community peopled by eccentrics. Surely those huge lorries could have fuelled up at their petrol station and got them out of debt? (And had a few dozen coffees while they waited.)
Encounters spunky schoolteacher-type Eve Myles (had been in Little Dorrit the year before - must watch that again) and kid Samuel Morgan-Davies. Romantic situation dealt with realistically.
Er - where are all the site workers staying? I thought there was only one cottage? Also Van Gogh Sunflowers with no security? Anyway, carp off.
With Robert Pugh, Mark Haddon Jones, Nicola Reynolds, Mari Ann Bull, Nina Sosanya, Gwyneth Keyworth, Guy Henry, Matthew Aubrey.

One too many montages to music (the kids cooking) but otherwise very enjoyable.
