I did (comment down-thread) and I've been meaning to post about it, but have not been doing words this past week or so. OK, the compulsory pairing off of Sylvia and Theo was annoying, but yay for Jakes/Smith! Actually, I thought Theo was the worst in it - the actress and the way the part was written didn't fit my image of Theo at all. I adored Victoria Wood as Nana, and I thought that all three children did well. I had to suspend my disbelief somewhat when Watson and Paige were initially presented as under-12s, but hey, that's the nature of children's TV. Winifred was more petulant than I thought she should be, and also more arrogant, and I've always read her as raging against society than against Pauline.
Actually, that all sounds rather negative, but I did enjoy the TV programme for what it was, and it's a separate telling of the story from the book.
