Just watched two episodes back to back. Absolutely brilliant,

I thought the big reveal was the identity of the caller. The shock ending was good though - blink and you could've missed it!

Well, another amazing episode. The big reveal in the closing seconds. I certainly did NOT see that coming. How do the two of them think these stories up, pure genius!

I hope it's only a passing resemblance POGS!

You could be some people think I am BUBBLES DE VERE. grin

There is a similarity 'darling'. wink

(sorry, I realise I'm not POGS! grin)

Litte Britain - they had to get rid of the vomiting WI women and the breast-feeding man for the last series as there were so many complaints!

Pogs. What was the one with David Walliams and the bald fellow. You know; "we are ladies" and the w.i. projectile vomiters?

That's the one 'Edward went to London'.

I used to like the vet who practically killed off every animal he touched.

Pogs. Oh yes. Wasn't that the one with "local shops for local people". I have been in a few of them; mostly in Wales.

I found that Royston Vasey most perplexing and hilarious at the same time. Brenda the cab driver making me cringe, whilst Tubbs was awful but I couldn't stop laughing

I enjoyed the last series of Inside No. 9 but I am enjoying this series more so far.

It is on the lines of the League of Gentleman and I wish they would repeat that series too, I think it was a bit ahead of it's time and if you like Inside No 9 were you a fan of the inhabitants of Royston Vasey?

Dudley Sutton was in Lovejoy! He was playing a rea character ' wide boy.

Ah yes David Warner, a bit of a 60s heartthrob! ( in both interpretations of the phrase) x

Gosh Dudley Sutton's another one grumppa He was always popping up in something in the (very) old days.

jo1book Fri 10-Apr-15 22:18:58

Sorry pardon; on wrong episode.

Ana Fri 10-Apr-15 22:08:12

No, he wasn't 'the stiff' jo1book. He played the head of the village who sent for the witchfinders.

grumppa Fri 10-Apr-15 22:02:28

Me too, Deedaa. Drove up from Oxford to see him as the Dane. Last saw him in the flesh in a coffee bar in Fulham a few years ago, nattering with Dudley Sutton. And of course he was the villain in the film about the boat.

jo1book Fri 10-Apr-15 21:53:00

Was David Warner the stiff?

Deedaa Fri 10-Apr-15 21:19:26

Lovely to catch a rare sight of David Warner last night. I saw his Hamlet in the 60's and went to see his film Morgan, A Suitable Case For Treatment about 6 times.

KatyK Fri 10-Apr-15 19:13:21

I love Inside No. 9. the last series was really good too.

suzied Fri 10-Apr-15 18:34:29

I didn't think Better Call Saul would be on a par with Breaking Bad which was my all time favourite and I still miss it, but it's getting close. I love House of cards as well. I think in the next series in 2016, Clare is going to run for the presidency like Hilary Clinton.

I didn't think it was supposed to be a comedy. There were some funny bits, especially involving the obese man and his mum, but I thought the characters were very sympathetically drawn and played.

I especially liked the shots of the CPN in her car, trying to grab a bite to eat while also trying to sort out childcare and deal with her ex-partner on the phone. Health workers have their own problems too!

jo1book Fri 10-Apr-15 12:10:02

BBC2, Suzied. Isn't Better Call Saul terrific! I have also enjoyed 30 degrees in February on Sky Arts. Swedish with subs. but I was impressed with the storylines; especially concerning the browbeaten elderly lady! But then Scandi drama is good. I shall be watching Mad Men tonight. My complete and utter fave. If you haven't seen it, give the first box set a try. You will get hooked or not.
Did you know that you can get a lot of stuff cheaply or even by down loading to your pc and then plugging into the television. Google will tell you where to go.

Re Nurse: I looked forward to it so much as I'm a great fan of Paul Whitehouse however, I found I actually couldn't bear to watch it. It came just too close to real life. The CPN was VG. A painful programme though, very well done but just not funny to laugh at these unfortunate (and entirely recognisable) characters.
