2009 British comedy-drama television series From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mouth to Mouth is a 2009 comedy-drama television series written by Karl Minns and broadcast on BBC Three.[1] A successful pilot episode of the programme aired in 2008, featuring the same female cast as the full series but without any male characters and with a significantly different story.[2] Each of the six episodes follows a monologue structure (with brief comments from other characters) in which each of the main characters describes their life around the same date. As the series progresses, the viewer discovers how the lives are interwoven. On the surface, the script contains some fine humorous moments, but it also addresses serious issues.

Tim Dowling of The Guardian said of the first episode that the "monologue format is a bit stilted but the writing is sharp and at times very funny".[3] Joe Clay in The Times called it "brave thought provoking telly that is also very funny". Matt Bayliss in The Daily Express thought the series "a modern fairy tale that managed to be both original and still actually work". The Radio Times was also a fan, calling it "beautifully written and splendidly acted...a treat of the kind seldom found on BBC3".
