Mutual Friends -- who's watching the kids?

I don’t watch a lot of television.  There’s simply not much worth watching.  When faced with the choice of a mediocre TV drama or sleep, I’ll pick sleep every time.

But when Henley was taken over by the Mutual Friends film crew this year, I thought I would take a peek at the new TV comedy drama in the coveted BBC1 Tuesday 9 pm slot.

For those who don’t know the story line – Mutual Friends is a 30-something drama that features Martin, a solicitor whose life starts to fall apart after he finds out his wife Jen had an affair with his now dead best friend, Carl. At the funeral Martin hooks up with a friend from the past, Patrick, whose business partner is trying to take his company and is sleeping with his girlfriend. Got all that?

It all is filmed in Henley-on-Thames, in the homes of friends and at the local primary school, churches, and pubs.
