The Larkins
DRAMA 8PM, ITV
Things didn’t quite turn out as Primrose (Lydia Page) had hoped when she invited dishy new vicar Reverend Ian Candy (Sanditon’s Maxim Ays) to the Larkins’ big barbecue, as the cleric did a runner after finding himself in a romantic clinch! This week, Ma decides to play Cupid and invites Ian over for a romantic dinner with her daughter. But will the shy new arrival be able to overcome his inhibitions and respond to Primrose’s advances? Elsewhere, Pop finds his old friend Fruity Pears setting up his fairground on the village green and he seems unconcerned by the legal challenge he faces. ★★★★ IM
