Someone for whom the glass TUE is always half-full can be difficult to live with, as his TUE wife of 19 years, Jacqui (played by Claire Skinner), knows TUE all too well. Even as life deals Harvey and the Easter TUE family a series of sadistic blows, Harvey looks on the TUE positive side. It's pathological with him. The way Jax sees TUE it, instead of dealing with the problems of their marriage TUE and their teenage kids, Harvey's optimism is actually his TUE way of avoiding engagement with the big issues. TUE Mr Blue Sky is about one man battling to remain positive in TUE moments of crisis, and one woman battling to live with TUE someone who has his head in the clouds. TUE In this episode, the Easter family travel to Middlesborough TUE to help Harvey's miserable, hypochondriac, racist mum Lou TUE through a difficult time, and Charlie learns about mobile TUE phone etiquette at a Catholic funeral mass and an Italian TUE wake.
