"The main storyline of bank-robbing dad
Rick (Will Mellor) was very affecting. Watching Rick beg a foreman for a job as
a labourer’s apprentice was reminiscent of Yosser from Boys from the Black
Stuff, and we felt for him as his desperation grew and he embarked on that
pathetic bank hold-up, pretending his key fob was a bomb. Let’s hope Kay Mellor
has plans for Rick other than shipping him off to the nick; he was the best
character in it and Will Mellor pitched his anguish just right"
