"Home Time" is set and filmed in Coventry, England. Plot. Series 1 (2009). Gaynor Jacks has come home. Home to Coventry, home to her mum and dad's house, home to the three best friends who called her mad for ever leaving. At 17 she ran off to find her place in the big wide world, but now she's back - at 29 - with  her tail between her legs and not so much as a starter home to show for her troubles. Gaynor can't hide forever in her tiny time-capsule bedroom with its Trainspotting poster peeling above the single bed and Wonderwall still paused on the CD player. She must crawl back into the life she left behind, suffering the gleeful sympathy of her friends and ill-judged parental intrusions, all played out in front of old flames and adversaries she thought she'd never see again, and underscored by smirking cries of 'See you're back then'. Reception. "Home Time" received  a positive critical response, "The Guardian" describing it as "a brilliant, sophisticated, low-key show" and "as smart and original as it is sad and funny", "The Mirror" as an "understated, subtle and very clever comedy", "Heat" as "The best new comedy on the BBC for a long time" and the "Financial Times" felt that it "attained the same balance of tenderness and acuity that has characterised so many of the greatest British sitcoms, from "Porridge" to "The Office"". "Home Time" was also nominated for Best Sitcom at both the 2010 South Bank Show Awards and The Rose D'Or. DVD  release. "Home Time" Was Released on DVD on 22 August 2011.
