The series embodies the story of Eileen, who seems unexpectedly pregnant after landing a decade to practice her engineers. Eileen started coaching Paula as she was aspiring to see Paula, which greatly influenced Elaine's personal and professional life.
Great cast, refreshingly set in Glasgow, nice stab at some good old-fashioned melodrama, and what's not to love about a story featuring two strong female protagonists that doesn't revolve around them fighting over a man.
It's all hugely enjoyable tosh, a cross between The Hand That Rocks The Cradle and Single White Female, in an environment in which no one bats an eyelid when various cast members elect to spend time alone in building sites late at night.
There's nothing quite like an emotion-shredding potboiler to get the blood up on a chilly February night and BBC One's new three-parter The Replacement proved just the ticket.
