Home Time

6 x 30', 2009 Baby Cow Productions for BBC2 Producer Ted Dowd Director Christine Gernon Writer Emma Fryer Starring Emma Fryer

Co-written  and created with Neil Edmond.

Just before her 18th birthday, Gaynor Jacks ran off to find her place in the big wide world, but now aged 29 she's back with her tail between her legs. She returns to Coventry, home to her mum and dad's house, and home to her three best friends.

Gaynor can't hide forever in her bedroom, she must crawl back into her old life, suffer the gleeful sympathy of her friends and ill-judged parental intrusions.

All played out in front of old flames and adversaries Gaynor never thought she'd see again and underscored by the smirking cries of "see you're back then".

a brilliant, sophisticated, low-key show.

Rebecca Nicholson The Guardian

a delight - consistently funny, frequently inspired and very moving.

Harry Venning The Stage

Home Time is another excellent Baby Cow comedy where the basis of the story is completely believable, and the narrative drags you in...It is written by, and stars, Emma Fryer, who plays Gaynor with a sensitivity and vulnerability that brings out the comedy brilliantly. First episodes are notoriously hard to do but the team behind Home Time have cracked it.
