Reception

Esther Addley, reviewing the second episode for The Guardian, said Tales from Pleasure Beach was "nicely shot, well acted and refreshingly frank in its portrayal of alcopop-swilling sexual manners", however she found it "rattling through a series of stock tableaux that juddered perceptively under the weight of their agony aunt morality".[1]
