In 1891 Yorkshire, a faulty dockside crane injures Sam and leaves his working-class family short of money, so Mary spends the last of their cash on herring and starts selling fried fish.
Starring Liam McMahon, Claire Cooper, Julie Graham
Viewers who want comfort over realism get cosy period drama in the Catherine Cookson mould. The family's money arrives at a ridiculous speed, and the fun is in the leaps. By episode two Mary is hosting a first dinner party at the country estate, and it does not go smoothly.
Each series is short and carries on the same family story, so watch in order; the opening episodes move fast.
