 AT HOME WITH THE BRAITHWAITES ITV, Thur
 I know one should never judge a TV     
 series by its title, but that's exactly
 what I did with this new comedy drama. 
                                        
 I guess I was expecting an ITV version 
 of the rather lame 2.4 Children. So,   
 imagine my surprise when I not only    
 chuckled but actually laughed out loud.
                                        
 This story about an ordinary housewife 
 (Amanda Redman) who wins £38m on the   
 lottery but decides not to tell her    
 family, was well-acted, observant and  
 made for enjoyable light viewing.      
                                        
 I certainly will be spending another   
 evening at home with the Braithwaites.
