Personal Affairs (BBC Drama, Maimie McCoy, Annabel Scholey)

Published

on


A strange mix of thriller and soap style drama Personal Affairs focuses on five personal assistants working for busy city financial firm Hartmann Payne. Midge dreams of being a reality TV star, Sid has secret plans to embezzle a fortune from the company, Lucy aspires to become a partner, Nicole just wants to be rich whilst Grace has just had a proposal of marriage from her boss. When Grace goes missing suddenly it opens up a whole can of worms that promises to change the lives of the girls forever.

Smart and funny but just a bit too knowing and a bit too seedy at times. Lots of cleverness though, a great touch with the girls all being seen different by each boss as they arrive, from slut to the perfect fifties secretary. As the episodes progress the show seems undecided whether to go down the soap/romance side of the street or for the thriller angles and consequently ends up being neither one nor the other.
