Did anyone else watch it? I still found it hilarious! Although I don't remember some - namely Travis. Is Garth now played by Matt Willis?

Loved it too! Travis is Tracey's second son, she was pregnant with him when the last series finished.

I thought it was even worse than I remembered it. The inexplicable thing is that PQ is a really good actress. Wtf is she thinking??

Loved it. Loved the original and have been waiting years for a comeback. Wasn't expecting much as remakes are always crap but it was great.

It was better than I was expecting to be honest but the quickfire innuendo sounded a bit dated now. Was funny when Dorien got out of the car even if it was completely predictable.

Thanks for filling me in umiaisha. And Boffin too - had no idea Pauline Quirke's son plays him.

I still find Doreen hilarious too - she hasn't changed a bit haha!

There was a programme called watching. Lisa Tarbuck was the main characters sister.

I was looking forward to this, but was a bit disappointed. They just seemed to shout everything at each other all the time, it got on my nerves in the end.

Crips I think Tracy's flat is around the corner from me. That place where they always film the gang scenes in Eastenders.

The little girls in the credits...is it really them?!
Wonderful likeness if not.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 03/01/2014 11:44

The photos in the credits at the start are them. They've known each other since primary school. The two little girls running around in the park aren't them, just a good likeness :)

It was like a party political broadcast for the Labour Party. It was dire.

Spit on, chipstick. Far too political. And the continuity was shite. The yellow mini was at least two completely different cars!
