Only Motherland could give us a Christmas special this chaotic - and familiar Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Paul Ready as Kevin, Anna Maxwell Martin as Julia, Diane Morgan as Liz, Philippa Dunne as Anne.
And Julia? Well, Julia was obviously hating every living, breathing second of the whole thing. She rescued Kevin from his bleak hotel room but with the ulterior motive that he’d cook the dinner – a Persian feast, naturally – while she became ever more exasperated with her demanding in-laws, cranky mother and spectacularly selfish husband who spent most of the day building an outdoor cryo-pool ice bath that was definitely not “for the whole family” as he had claimed.
As ever, the kids were blissfully unaware of their parents’ tears, tantrums and tribulations, but underneath the relatable temporary chaos of Christmas, big changes were afoot.In a show packed with scene-stealers, the top plaudits have to go to Maxwell Martin and Punch for carrying the episode’s moments of emotional heft: the double whammy of Marion, Julia’s mother, dying slap bang in the middle of Christmas Day and the revelation that Johnny’s wife Tamara is pregnant.
