Heading Out: my review.

So, on Tuesday, Sue Perkins' new sitcom Heading Out aired on BBC Two at 10pm. And, me being a big fan of Sue & all that, I watched it. And you know what? It was really, really good! Infact, it totally consumed me with excitement and happiness. I was excited before I saw it, and hoped I'd enjoy it, and then once I started watching it my brain tried to get my head around it. It started in mid-conversation between Sue's character Sara, and a woman with long blonde hair. She'd brought her sick cat to the vets. (And ironically there's a cat in my house right now. It's not dead, by the way.)

The show followed Sara, who is a vet, and is gay. She has several friends and is great at her job. Although, even though she has friends and a good job, she has one issue in her life. She is not openly gay. And what's more, her parents are coming to visit soon, and her friends have said to her that if she doesn't tell them that she's gay, then they will. And so they've also hired a not-so-qualified life coach (Toria) to help Sara to come out, and tell her parents that she's gay.

This is Toria, on the right.

She's a funny character. She does a sexy-styled dance in the netball scene in the programme. It reminds me of a scene from American Beauty. It's quite a bizarre moment.

Here's a screenshot I took from the show.

And another one. The wallpaper behind Sue is funky! Kind of 70s style.

The decor in Sara's home (or what I've seen of it so far) is very nice. Kind of old-fashioned, but in a good way. She has a lot of yogurts in her fridge. Not sure what that says about her character. But it is a funny moment when she offers this girl she's seeing a yogurt.

And another screenshot. Sara looks worried here. She's confessing to her friend that she's lied to her parents. And that she's said she's going out with a Frenchman.

And here's my final screenshot! A totally shocked look there on Sara's face.

Based on what's happened so far in Heading Out, I reckon there's plenty more awkward and funny situations to come for Sara. I really look forward to the next episode. And all other future ones too! Also, can't wait for Mel Giedroyc to make an appearance! Apparently she'll be in episode 4, so look out for that! (I found out on Twitter and on the BBC website.)
