Synopsis
What happens when your first love is a distant memory but you haven't yet found "the one"?
Alice Chenery (Tamsin Greig), is an account manager for a perfume company in a London department store, struggling to maintain a flat in Brighton she cannot afford. Michael Landes, (The Wonder Years and The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air) plays Gil Raymond, a successful American comedy writer who has fled his home country in search of artistic integrity and a lasting relationship. The parallel lives of this perfectly matched couple -- who have yet to meet each other -- unfold revealing their hopes, fears and dating disasters as they try to remain sane in a world from which they each feel increasingly excluded.
This DVD contains every episode from the first series of Love Soup from hit writer David Renwick (Jonathan Creek, One Foot in the Grave), starring Tamsin Greig (Green Wing, Black Books).

This is superior quality TV. It combines finely crafted drama that has you really caring about the characters, with laugh-out-loud comedy situations that could only come from the pen of David Renwick (One Foot in the Grave, Jonathan Creek). I really can't recommend it highly enough.
The DVD also has special features:
- behind the camera feature
- out-takes
- interview with David Renwick
- commentary on episode 1 by writer and producer Verity Lambert

If you missed the outing of this excellent series on the Beeb, then you missed out on a viewing treat. With the clutter on TV these days, this stood out as being fresh, funny and accessible.
Discovered that I wasn't the only one to think so when at a dinner party a couple of weeks ago. There were 4 couples all talking on current TV programmes. The usual suspects were mentioned (X Factor, Strictly Come Dancing, etc) then Love Soup was raised and we all launched into our favourite bits and fell about laughing for half an hour.
Honestly, one of the best series we've seen in awhile. Recommend it highly!

In fact, there will be a second series. The figures weren't spectacular, but consistent, and the Beeb has a job to appeal to everybody. Good work guys.

This series is so well written and it's quite interesting how it centres around the two main characters who haven't actually met. great for deep-thinkers
