Last Tango in Halifax

Rose I did see a sheepdog wandering in the field in one shot,but no sheep. The whole thing is unbelieveable which won't stop me watching .

Aaaah but did you notice the pudding was a Tesco (or similar) Apple Strudel - which would hardly feed a family of five let alone nine!!

In true authenticity though they managed to show it a bit burned down one side which always used to happen whenever I baked one.

I did wonder if Gillian had killed the fatted lamb for the dinner.

merlotgran I agree, I wondered how she managed to produce all that food (shopped, prepared, cooked and still managed to have a shower and blow-dry her hair nicely). Perhaps she went to M&S for a load of ready meals (with no money!).

The baby just gets left on the sofa/in the high chair as far as I can see and looks after herself. Although Raff did feed her and take her to change her nappy in the last episode. Does she ever get outside in the fresh air? It always looks so dingy and as if it would be a bit smelly in that house.

Most farms have dogs and cats around as well - no sign of any there. Shouldn't there be a sheepdog to round up the sheep?

Sorry, that should be preview

What about the baby's father? Not sure what the legal situation would be in such a case if he wanted to get involved.

iPlayer's review for the next of episode kind of gives the game away re Kate.

Not saying on here.

If Kate is dead, do you think Caroline will blame the boys for taking her out of the way in order to drop them off?

She was also worrying about having to buy and pay for food for so many at one point - yet the table seemed to be groaning with food and (particularly) drink!

Yes that occurred to me merlotgran, when I do a Sunday lunch for the extended family I really don't have time to faff around with anything else, nice to see a kitchen table that can accommodate that many!

I was wondering how Gillian managed to produce Sunday lunch for 9 people when she spent most of the morning outside tinkering about with a tractor.

With all the comings and goings and people stopping the night whenever they feel like it and a baby in the house, who's doing all the laundry?

How did Harry get home when he slunk off after lunch?

Yes I agree merlotgran but I think they would probably drink themselves to death !

I think Gillian and John would make a lively combination.

If she turns Robbie down isn't there a danger he'll drag up all the stuff about his brother's death again?

Not something a man would usually be aware of ruby lucky you
I did think the same.

Gilliam seemed hesitant at first when Robbie proposed and DH said "It's because he hasn't actually said he loves her." Who would have thought he was so perceptive about romance!

SPOILER ALERT

Last night's episode was particularly good wasn't it? I do want Gillian and Robbie to get married but she does put it about a bit doesn't she? I didn't warm to Celia one little bit last night (even in the last scenes) as she is just an out and out snob. I think either Kate is dead and there will be "issues" about the baby or else she has been very seriously hurt and the doctors have had to perform some drastic surgery to save her life.

Yes, she was very good as drunken Judith

Its is getting better but I do miss Rona Ancona in this series.

It just gets better.

You read my thoughts Rosequartz!

Or Caroline, janea?

As soon as the camera panned in on that closed front door, I had a horrible feeling something nasty was going to happen.

It's often the case in dramas that when characters are extremely happy, something awful happens. Do you remember "Cold Feet"? The couple played by James Nesbitt and Helen Baxendale were (if I recall correctly) both heading excitedly (but separately) towards their new home when tragedy struck?

(Unlike this Christmas's Downton Abbey which I think overdid the feel good factor).

Sorry, I'm going off the point again.

What's the betting that Gary's missus will end up in bed with either Robbie and/or John and getting her eyes scratched out by Gillian

Don't want to spoil for those not yet watched it, but I hope we're wrong Soutra

I'm convinced Gary and his misses are putting on an act and actually hate each other

Oh lor'! Thought something was coming!
I have heard that wail of anguish from the relatives' room when DD and I once withdrew out of discretion to the other end of a hospital corridor. It was chilling then.
