Where to begin, well first off you have a music video at the start and end of the movie, which at the start you thought the movie was ending and not beginning. And this was to promote the soundtrack of the film 'Hail rain or shine', and this dancing lasted for a good 4 minutes and there I was thinking why did I pay £6.40 to see this?. It however gets worst. You have two over the top story lines going on within this: one where Mrs Brown has to prove that she doesn't owes €3 million in rent for her market stall, and another about a group of Russians trying to get rid of all the market stalls and build a giant shopping center for Dublin. Both mediocre storyline's. Plus there is blind ninja's, a chase around Dublin with a Tuk Tuk (a three-wheeled Indian car) and later a horse when trying to hand this receipt in to the court. And to top it off you have Brendan O'Carroll's wife giving the most political correct speech about immigration just so minorities buy it to. Never watch it again and it expect to see on a car-boot for 50p a week after it's released.

This clever Victorian drama set in 1830's England depicts the suffering and hardship of the working person through a time of change. And with great actresses like Kerrie Hayes who plays the role of apprentice Ester Price you can see the hardship those people endured through such difficult times. This drama passes through the events like the abolishment of slavery to the introduction of the poor law and as time moves on in the series we the affects of those events to take hold with the character's and environment. Finally like I mentioned before, this series has some brilliant actors & actresses that reflect hardship and evolution of the way who were poor are treated.
