Love this. Looked forward to the the first episode, given the cast, really enjoyed it and wasn't disappointed with the second. Why aren't there more programmes like this any more? confused

Really like it. Liked it when she smacked her SiL over the chops as well. winksmile

I'm liking this drama a lot, both Anne Reid and Derek Jacobi very good in it.

jO5 Real life is part comedy part serious, isn't it?

Seamist Wed 28-Nov-12 15:54:28

Yes, my hubby and I are greatly enjoying it. I wonder what will happen next, I think it's going to get very complicated!

Holby was magnificent though. As usual.

Love Jac.

Yes. The house.

But I can't drive. Wouldn't do for me.

sad

Oh yes - Anne Reid.

Can't stand her. Another Corrie has been.

I don't like Sarah Lancashire's character either, jingle but I'd kill for that house.

It's one of those things where it can't make up its mind if it is comedy or serious. hmm

Ana Tue 27-Nov-12 22:21:55

Yes, it was advertised as a comedy - it's not really, is it? I love Ann Reid in whatever she does.

OH (who at first joined in reluctantly) and I are enjoying it. I missed the first half of the first episode so also need to visit 'catch up'. Great cast!

jO5 Tue 27-Nov-12 22:21:07

And that other woman. The one who was the older mother/grandmother. She's always the same person.

Sorry.

Watched it tonight first time, quite good, nearly didn't watch it again as the title suggested a comedy rather than a drama confused

jO5 Tue 27-Nov-12 22:19:43

I saw the last 20 minutes. I was behind and watching on catch-up.

I can't stand that woman who used to be Raquel in Corrie. She always plays the same character.

I don't think I will bother tbh.

merlotgran Tue 27-Nov-12 22:17:29

OK Ana I won't give anything away but the acting is brilliant.

Ana Tue 27-Nov-12 22:10:45

I watched last week's episode but thought it was a one-off - was surprised when it turned out it wasn't! Have recorded tonight's so can't discuss it yet!

We discuss our families on here - light hearted and otherwise. Is anyone else enjoying this excellent drama?
