Coming across like a slightly sentimentalised Noda Kōgo script, though crucially lacking Ozu’s light touch behind the camera, and switched from post-war Japan to post-credit crunch South London, this ITV drama gently sings an ode to family and the value of not living beyond one’s means, as it engagingly depicts a prodigal son’s fall from grace when his property development speculations fall through.
