Writer Andy Wolton is an adoptee himself and the script certainly was grounded in an emotional truth. The Coopers vs The Rest is one of a series of BBC comedy pilots and, from what I have seen, the premise has promise. However, there is a problem with scary Tess. We learnt early on that the Coopers went down the adoption route on account of her “hostile cervix”. But this seemed to be affecting her whole personality – after a while, all that severity was grating. A little maternal warmth would improve this show no end.
