April convinces the three absent fathers that she has a sexy new boyfriend, Callum, a friend from work.

Being April 9.00pm BBC1
Here is a new weekday-evening series that seems to be quite unashamed of its undeclared intent to warm every cockle in every heart of everyone who watches it. If you don't find yourself glowing inwardly like an efficient radiator after watching the first episode, you might just feel like a cynical old party pooper. A lot will depend on how you feel about Being April's star, Pauline Quirke, who is one of the BBC's most bankable assets. And for a good reason, as no one can play brittle-on-the-outside/soft-on-the-inside like Quirke. She is in her element as April, a cheerful and positive but occasionally lonely single mother who has three children by three different men. You might think this all sounds very modem and self-consciously controversial, and in some ways it is, particularly as one of the dads is gay and another is Asian (the third is just a hopeless white heterosexual), but in just about every other way, Being April is very old-fashioned. In this first episode April finds herself on the receiving end of some very welcome (if perhaps unlikely) attention by a handsome, witty and charming manager at the company where she is a telephonist. He is played by the splendid Clive Russell, now safely back from his stint in Rockface. April quickly hits on a ruse to get the three dads to make more efforts with their children. It works, but then things veer off on an unexpected course.
