This is a wonderful look at how life can suddenly turn upside down when you least expect it, and how we learn to get on with things. As Maggie's safe but dull life is rocked by her husbands announcement that he is leaving her for another woman, she is left to pick up the pieces. Slowly, as she comes to terms with having to return to work to pay the bills, despite being trained for nothing, she starts to see that her husband walking out isn't the end of her life, or the world, in fact, things are just getting interesting.

I absolutely loved Maggie´s honest way of dealing with her feelings, her total lack of inhibitions and ability to share her problems with others. I couldn´t stop watching it!

I didn't realise there was a previous series when I started watching life begins a month or so ago. I really enjoyed Series 2 so was delighted to find there was in fact a Series 1. Although not as much comedy in the first series I still found the storyline to be really funny and interesting. I really felt for Maggie when her husband left her for a younger model - his behaviour was outrageous - the way he was carrying on as if they were no longer even married made me want to punch him at times (he did originally just leave her to think things over as he wasn't happy) - and to top it all, when he realised she was happy and on the verge of starting a new relationship and his had failed, he had the nerve to say he had made a mistake!! Still Alexander Armstrong is very sexy in a funny sort of way and I'd forgive him!
