Fanny and Elvis (15)

Plot
Kate starts worrying about her biological clock on the same day that her husband leaves her. She takes in his lover's husband as a lodger, then decides that he should be her sperm donor - but will they fall in love? Well, probably.

Verdict
As weak as Mellor's plotting is, her third act decision to completely disregard all sense of reality, just to accommodate a ridiculous, first-baby-of-the-millennium twist, is a huge mistake, as is Jennifer Saunders' cameo appearance as Kate's London agent. Risible, really.
