Sanjeev Bhaskar plays a patriarch handing over the family firm in a spinoff of The Split. It\u2019s full-on sudsy fun right from the off<\/p>\n
I do like a soap that doesn\u2019t hang about. That works itself up to a creamy lather and invites you to shut the bathroom door against real life and dive into a hot bath with it immediately for a much-needed break.<\/p>\n
The Split Up delivers full-on sudsy fun from the start. From the team behind The Split<\/a>, it\u2019s another glossy tale of a family-run family law firm specialising in the never-too-complicated divorce cases of any high net worth individuals in their vicinity. This time, it\u2019s written by Ursula Rani Sarma instead of Abi Morgan, the family is British South Asian and the location is Manchester not London, but beyond that it\u2019s very much business as usual. A case of the week functions as the still eye of the ever-growing storm composed of the love lives, personal concerns and professional ambitions of the interrelated lawyers and their friends, colleagues and enemies \u2013 who are often, of course, one and the same thing. Mild glamour meets much plot; viewer happiness ensues.<\/p>\n The Split Up is available on BBC iPlayer<\/p>\n
