Last Tango in Halifax

Gary is rather creepy, looks as if he wants to manipulate the whole family.

Gary is becoming scarier by the minute.
Greg is to good to be true.
Gillian has been round the block more than once re the guy in the supermarket.
John is a total looser.
Celia is a witch.

I LOVE IT !

"May" is the operative word - I think they are just teasing us. But how very annoying.

Yes, the wedding may not be happening...

I agree about the preview clips - why on earth do they do it? It would be OK if they just gave a tantalising hint, but we know more or less what's going to happen next week!

I don't feel at all sorry for John, he's a selfish flake. And Gary's becoming rather sinister and threatening...

I agree

How very very annoying it is that they broadcast a resume of the following week's episode after each one. I now have information that will spoil next week's episode. What possible justification can there be for that? What is the point?

I'm sorry it's the last one next week. I think I could watch this for ever.

I'm even beginning to feel sorry for John

In the preview bit at the end, they had the biological father of Flora looking after her. Suspect Nanny was removed or removed herself? Time will tell! Heck it's not real I must remind myself.

Flora [baby] turns up in Bradford , forgotten by the nanny perhaps, she won't last long I think. Alan seems to be looking more and more bewildered as time goes on [hope it's not the script.]Celia is a right old bag.

jane your spot on..I have a 10GB download limit, I seem to rem watching 2 episodes of "My Girl" and maybe 2 or 3 of "Last Tango " and it took me over my limit (cost me an axtra few £s on my next internet bill) (have learned since to try and rem to record onto my hard drive recorder)

I watched it last night, loved it and found it very dark. Gary has mental health problems, or a personality disorder, whatever lies underneath it he's a paranoid control freak. I'd be so pleased to see Gillian and Robbie start a proper life together, but I'm with other posters, there'll be tears before bedtime.

The new nanny is very scary and if Caroline had been her usual self, she'd have spotted that instantly. Exhaustion, grief and terror can make the most intuitive/sensible folks miss the obvious.

Sally Wainwright is a brilliant writer and the cast is so good - loving it.

Me too Merlot (the jumps - not the torn earlobe) and when I was old enough, ride around the countryside on my bike looking for horses to pat!

I like the name Calamity - she'd be Cal at school - perhaps it'll lead to glut of new baby girls with that name.

He'll have fallen in the lock!

Of course, Nfk. I still have a scar where my left ear lobe had to be sewn back in place after a nasty fall at the water jump.

I wonder if Harry made it home OK after that boozy Sunday lunch? He's not been heard of since.

Did you put jumps up around the garden Merlot?

I used to be called Calamity. Mainly because I would gallop around thrashing myself over the bottom with a stick while singing 'Whip Crack Away' at the top of my voice.

Whereas Caroline's baby is called Flora - like the margarine as someone in the programme pointed out

(actually a very pretty name, I knew a Flora).)

Here's my theory - Caroline will fall for the nanny.

The baby's name is Emily Jane Greenwood Wallace but when they tell Alan what she is called he mishears them and thinks she is called Calamity Jane, so she has been called Calamity since (she's going to love that when she gets to school!).

I thought it was all a bit contrived, and yes, those amazed smiles as the new nanny appeared as though she was an angel from heaven, seemed ....just odd. You would want an older more experienced nanny and not some flaky girl.Caroline is annoying [always] and wants her own way in everything.John is charming and unreliable, Judith is an achoholic,
Gillian is also selfish and stubborn as well [and the opposite of charming] Alun is just weak about almost everything, Rafe and his girlfriend say bizarre things [their baby, Calamity?Fantasy land.] Harry [the old friend] speaks a lot, about nothing in particular,Gary, the son [of Alun] has something dark in him despite the smiles..... in short, it's great tv.

DD was about 3 months when she had it - yes, a nightmare!

6pm - 10pm grizzly
10pm - 2 am sleep
2am - 4.30ish -scream

I remember it well, feeling so helpless to do anything to alleviate it.

DD1 had colic from about day 3. Made my heart sink when Caroline described it as from 6 -3 , brought it all back, poor little thing.

I have pmd you Coolgran65 with the secret, in case other posters don't know yet. If you can follow my pm you will be very lucky
