I've been watching this off and on. Tonights was good, I especially find Jeanette Krankie hilarious. She's 70 and game for anything, and pretty fit too. She had me laughing out loud at tims.

This is a joy to watch. The group get on really well together and this series is much better than the previous one.

Sorry to disagree JessK but I have enjoyed all 3 series. The only fly in the ointment was having to watch Marian Margolyles - I find her really unappealing. Such bad manners and a certain delight in being crude!

Yes, I too thought that the Krankies and Sid Little would be awful but they aren't. Stephanie is getting on my nerves.

We are watching the big zoo programme on channel Five and having a difference of opinion. I say Selina Scott is doing the voice over (unseen) but DH days it isn't her. Can anyone back me up?

Google it?

I have tried Kitty but they only give the names of those who appear on screen.

We watched the last one yesterday. The narrator is Tom Hollander.

I enjoyed it. The editing was pretty obvious though. Clearly they like Syd Little best. Fair enough he seems a very nice chap. The Krankies were entertaining so they were shown a lot.
I was amazed at how brave Bob Champion was in allowing filming of his colonic irrigation!

I thought Susan George came over as very sweet but they didn't seem to show much of her. Just flippin Stephanie Beacham hmm

I loved the last programme - apart from Stephanie. There's always one isn't there? Last time it was Marian.

You are so right Liz!!! grin

I thought that it would have been a nice gesture for them to have cooked a meal for the people whose place they were staying at - in fact last week when they came back with some food I think the family were expecting to be invited to share it - they sort of invited themselves to taste it. A cricket match didn’t really do it.

I enjoyed it very much and thought all the people came across well but I especially liked Selina Scott and Stephanie Beacham.

I have enjoyd all the series. In the last one, Miriam Margoyles was quite crude at times but I thought she was a very kind, down to earth and honest person.
