The Larkins is based on the HE Bates novel The Darling Buds of May, and stars Bradley Walsh, Joanna Scanlan and Sabrina Bartlett.
Eagled-eyed viewers of the new ITV drama The Larkins spotted a familiar face last night (10 October) in the role of one of the show’s minor characters.
In a one-star review for The Independent, Sean O’Grady described the series as “jaded, hackneyed, lazy programming,” and “an abomination”.
Partway through episode one, Mariette Larkin (Bartlett) and Primrose Larkin (Lydia Page) solicit the aid of a police officer to locate someone.
