Review of "Been So Long"

Musical (yeah, people really do burst in to songs and dance routines) about youngish people in London and their troubles, starring Michaela Coel as a youngish single mum with a disabled daughter - who meets a nice young man who's just come out of prison and is living at home with him mum and wears an electronic tag anklet. Lots of nice sympathetic characters, enough drama but not too much melodrama, some laughs. No memorable songs but you can't have everything.

Watched in two halves - first on Film4 as transmitted, and then the following night on All4 (via smartphone and chromecast) to avoid the huge ad breaks on Film4.
