[MintChocAddict]

Is it filmed in Scarborough?

[zukiecat]

Sorry have no idea, but I enjoyed the last series so am looking forward to this

[MintChocAddict]

Me too!

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

I think it is yes. I'm sad it's not the old ones

[MintChocAddict]

Ah Scarborough was just mentioned! The old ones were great weren't they? I saw Kay Mellor on This Morning today and apparently Steven Spielberg phoned her to congratulate her on the first series!

[zukiecat]

Great to see Elaine C Smith,

I love her, she's brilliant.

[BooChunky]

This ones a bit slow so far...

[FujimotosElixir]

Is Lenny henry meant to be a simpleton?

[Justmuddlingalong]

He has Asperger's Fuji. I really dislike Lenny Henry. He's spoiling this one for me.

[LavenderRain]

Does anyone know how many weeks it's on for?

[FujimotosElixir]

My sons has that I hate how TV characters often go a bit simp!e jack when its primarily a social awareness on an otherwise normal bright person, he has a sense of humour etc
Ike many ASD sufferers you never see that on tv

[FujimotosElixir]

*primarily a social awareness disorder

[southeastdweller]

It's on for six weeks.

[DosDuchas]

Kay mellor - writer of Cliche and 'rotund' northern women

[FujimotosElixir]

rotund? didn't see any fatties last night, unless u mean fat friends.

[TinyTear]

i bet Lenny Henry killed or kidnapped the young one and the ex will get the blame...

[mumofthemonsters808]

I enjoyed it, love Kay Mellors dramas.

[The80sweregreat]

~Didn't watch it all, but caught Anthony Andrews character, he was so good in Brideshead Revisited years ago! the lenny henry character was so annoying going on and on about the lottery - it was at that point I gave up, so will have to watch another time. It seemed a bit Downton Abby too, not that I ever watched that..

[FujimotosElixir]

that irratating woman from waterloo rd !grrr

[AnyFucker]

I found it repetitive and formulaic. Won't be watching any more.

[loveliesbleeding1]

So annoying, a cliffhanger ruined by showing a preview of next weeks show.

[AesopsMables]

Agree with anyfucker had to turn off after 15mins as the acting and script reminded me of a bad am dram play.

[AnyFucker]

yup, totally cliched rubbish

Kay Mellor needs to give it up now

so obviously jumping on the Downton bandwagon....my ds took one look and said "nobody lives like that these days". The characters were so stereotyped it made my teeth grind

[misstiredbuthappy]
