Girlfriends

Good old Kay Mellor never disappoints IMO. Her characters are a joy to watch. Just don't take them too seriously.

I loved it.

I couldn't possibly take these characters seriously!!

I only caught the last 20 minutes.
Totally distracted by Zoe Wanamaker trying to do a northern accent.

I thought it was ok. Not gripping.
I agree that actors from the area or at least those who can master the right accents should be employed.
Why didn't the young woman notice the police device thingy (can't remember what you call it) on her lover's leg? No-one one is that distracted

Perhaps she didn't get down that far?

Teetime !
I enjoyed it but the northern accent was a bit off putting.
I like Kay Mellor's writing as well.

I'll keep watching I liked it.

I thought it was good, like all Kay Mellor's writing. I liked the characters .

I wasn't very impressed but will probably watch next week in the hope that this was just setting the story line and it will improve. They did all seem a bit daft though lol.

Missed it though I'd meant to watch it. Now I'm wondering if I should bother!

annoOne of the characters was anguished because her mum announced her intention to remarry in her 80s & she would lose her inheritance.
I wondered if the screenwriter had been looking for ideas on Gransnet

I watched and will carry on. I think there were a few good story lines being set up.

I thought it was ok wasn’t fully riveted but I think it will get better( hopefully) I think the problem was it was half drama and half comedy and I felt lost it’s way a bit in trying to be both
I thought the office based friend was way over the top I didn’t noticed Zoe Wannamakers accent, I did spend ages trying to remember the 80 yr olds name (from butterflies) I still can’t remember and it’s annoying me yes I could look it up but that defeats my brain it ll come when I m not thinking about it
Certainly give it another go if only to find out what really happened to Dad

Wendy Craig? I didn't realise she was still with us!

I had to watch because Louise the PA is being played by my friend's daughter. She's been in several west end musicals but this is her first TV role. Very exciting!

Which one is a Louise ?

I wanted to enjoy this, but I thought it was clichéd. I'll start to watch the next episode to see if it improves, but I'm not very hopeful.

Not sure if I will bother catching up with this now. I wasn't sure when I saw the trailer. It looked a bit trite to me.

Wendy Craig was Rea in Butterflies

I, too, thought Wendy Craig was no longer with us ...

BlueBelle Louise is the one who was trying to tell Miranda Richardson about the highlighter under her eyes.

What a dire drama this has turned into I really think the storyline is turning out to be cxxx and the acting is pretty awful anyone still watching ?

I'm loving it. Pure nonsense but I don't care because anything with Miranda Richardson in it is worth watching.

I really enjoyed it tonight. It might be nonsense, but for me it's entertaining.

I also like the fact that the actresses are not all "glammed up", they look like real people, wrinkles and all.
