But Gunther hasn't bargained for what Linda and Marion think of the matter...'Un-neurotic, clear-sighted and wickedly irreverent...The perfect antidote to Bridget Jones and Ally McBeal' MAIL ON SUNDAY

Media Reviews
'A saucy take on the battle of the sexes set in a fictional German town. Viagra, speed cameras and a sheepdog add up to sparkling wit with no rough edges' COSMOPOLITAN 'Three lessons should be learned -- never live in a town where everyone knows your business; grow old gracefully; never underestimate a woman. Gives Ayckbourn a farcical run for his money' DAILY MIRROR
