SCHEDULE
In the third season, a new comedy begins as Kathy and her family remain trapped in their homes at the time due to heavy rain outside. On the other hand, Pauline faces a new visitor and Cathy makes an important decision at that time. On the other hand, it seems that Derek's birthday will be great this time as the family meets to prepare the house for the party in a completely different way.

The miracle Golaszewski performs here is in humanising his small army of monsters, giving characters who were once cartoons a heartbreaking inner life that previous seasons only hinted at.

This is magnificently written (by Stefan Golaszewski) and magnificently performed and magnificently perceptive about older people.

Mum somehow manages to be two comedies in one: a parade of grotesques rub up against a pair of superhumanly kind and tolerant people who barely make you laugh at all.

Manville is so careful not to do too much as she acts that she effortlessly assumes the role of everywoman, and has you rooting for her as the still centre of what is essentially a madhouse.

Mum is on-point situational comedy, with a moving message about bereavement and an ensemble cast who complement each other brilliantly. As Cathy, Leslie Manville is the master of the poignant, pregnant pause.

Tender, foul, awkward, human, never less than hugely funny, this has been one of the delights in my job.

And so, rather skilfully, we are plonked right back where we've long been.
