TV Watch: Cucumber, Banana & Tofu Episode 1


The series that Russell T Davies has had in his head since the days of The Writers Tale finally appears on screen and the first episode was certainly very good. The first show, Cucumber, focuses on the older generation and was my favourite of the trio. It was interesting to watch the character of Henry as his world collapse around him because of one date conversation. Banana focused on the younger generation and reminded me of Skins. The character of Freddie certainly reminded me a bit of Tony Stonem from that series. He's probably going to be the ideal guy that everyone wants. I also liked the little reference to HC Clements from Doctor Who, Tofu was okay, as a short documentary with a small mini drama inside of it. It's probably the least important of the three. Having said that, I'd recommend them all. It's enjoyable television and anyone should watch it. Depending on how it goes it could already be one of my favourite programs of this year.
