Lesley Manville - 'Mum'

Lesley Manville returns for a second series of BBC2’s Bafta-winning comedy 'Mum' as put-upon Cathy, who is enduring widowhood while dealing with her eccentric family, from her son’s dopey but lovable fiancée Kelly (Lisa McGrillis) to her brother’s snobbish partner Pauline (Dorothy Atkinson). Meanwhile Cathy’s quietly besotted family friend Michael (Peter Mullan) does his best to hide how much he adores her.

It's so good it's already been comissioned for a third series, and there's the trailer to prove it...
