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 had been broadcast in 2008, starring the same female cast as the full series but no males and with a significantly different story.[2] Each of the six episodes follow a monologue structure (with brief comments from other characters) where each of the main characters describe their life around the same date. As the series progresses the viewer discovers how each of the lives are interwoven. On the surface the script has some fine humorous moments but underlying it deals with some serious issues.

[edit] Reception

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 were also fans, calling it 'beautifully written and splendidly acted...a treat of the kind seldom found on BBC3"
