We’ve been here before. Mum is a scatty mess, rarely without a coffee mug brimming with wine in her hand, clueless about money and unable to concentrate on one thing for more than a few seconds. Her teenage daughter is the sane, sensible one.
And then there’s fire-breathing Joanna Lumley, who will say anything to anyone because she simply doesn’t give two hoots.
Finding Alice (ITV) is Ab Fab, converted from a sitcom into a darkly witty thriller. There’s champagne, darling, and endless rows in the kitchen, and a queue of brilliant supporting stars.
Nobody smokes, because it isn’t 1993 any more, but everything else is perfectly in place.
