The other characters play more caricatures but still relatable. She’s more about how a person can try to weasel their way back into their exes’ lives. When she tries to come back into his life however she’s not the overt villain. She is so angry at the world you know it’s better for Ben to be alone. Ryan (TV’s new Bionic Woman) is the ultimate manipulative bitch.
She’s a real person working her way through life and when she faces the slightest disappointments you want to give her a great big hug. Never dolled up or oh-so-cute her Sharon is just an exasperated working girl who wants to find her dream man. Meanwhile Fox ( Keeping Mum) is a dream girl. We absolutely never think he’s evil for undressing women. He may be better at expressing this in his own time than in real time but Biggerstaff imbues Ben with enough intelligence and strength that we completely understand him.
He’s not the adorable bumbling Brit or the lifeless stuffy type he’s just a modest kid with a deep appreciation and love for women. Biggerstaff ( Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone) is a perfect leading man. The story explores these possibilities with a fascinating and simple device as we learn about Ben’s character through his exploration of frozen time. Cashback follows boy-meets-girl patterns but rather than rely on a high concept it turns out that even this super power isn’t enough to resolve even a simple misunderstanding. He gives those who deserve their comeuppances a healthy kick as well. Ben’s trick for passing the time is freezing time and stripping women to admire their bodies but not in a sleazy way. Nevertheless Ben takes a job at a supermarket and meets an attractive checker Sharon ( Emilia Fox) as well as other clerks who play games to keep themselves amused.
When Ben ( Sean Biggerstaff) breaks up with Suzy ( Michelle Ryan) he develops a sort of superpower: He can freeze time.
