I thought it was meant to be Edinburgh, due to the names and some accents, while the novel it's apparently loosely based on was set in Paris. It was entertaining, if not spectacular. I wasn't sure about all the outside stuff, like funding and the threat to other shops (and particularly the slightly odd Glendenning storyline). It detracted from the setting of the store itself and how it works from the general staff's point of view, glimpses of which were more interesting. That might appear more in later episodes though I guess.<br /><br />The cancellation of UpDown was not unexpected, but very sad, especially when the last series was so brilliant. I guess Call the Midwife's viewing figures finished it off. Louise Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02332713874999537898noreply@blogger.com
