The show has gotten some rather virulent reviews on this site, but I came in the middle of the season, so the show must have improved by then, because I can highly recommend it. While the entire cast is good, Hayley Mills' acting pedigree allowed her to confidently stride into a role that is the complete antithesis of her sweet image during her heyday, making her believable as Amanda Holden's bitter mother who likes to push people's buttons. She was a big star when I was growing up and her experience really shows. But it was really great to see Hayley Mills again. This is the first time I've seen Stephen Tompkinson, but I bet he does comedy, his muggings make me laugh.

What a great show! I like all the actors.

This is a wonderful show, sadly is does not get the credit it so thoroughly deserves. And even if it is predictable, the storyline is still well-done. I mean, if I'm tired and there's a long week ahead, do I want to watch some complicated murder mystery where you are constantly left in the dark to as where you are in the plot? No. I agree it is predictable, but that's the sort of thing I like on Sunday night. Yes, I could simply watch a nature film instead, but I doubt that it will have the same impact. There were some beautiful shots of African wildlife. Who cares if it's not 100% accurate? I like it. They have many adventures involving monkeys, lions, elephants and all sorts. They meet up with Dupe Plessi, an alcoholic (non-stereotypical) bad-tempered Afrikaan, and try to bring the wildlife back to a dried up infertile wasteland.

Wild at Heart is about a vet and his family who move to Africa. Wild at Heart in fact is as not as bad as these comments make it out to be. How come the so-called 'helpful' comments are the negative ones.
