Anyone catch this with the brilliant Lesley Manville?

Reminds me of Gavin and Stacy a bit, not laugh out of comedy but it's all in the slightly too long pausesGrin

Can't wait for the next one!Smile

First one is on iPlayer atm.

We really enjoyed it too, just put it on on the off chance and we're pleased we did.

Wasn't it great? Best thing I've seen for ages! Made me laugh and well up in the space of half an hour.

I used to see Lesley Manville frequently as I used to live near her, she's lovely in RL too.

It's been done by the same people who made him and her

It's sort of like him and her fast forwarded 30 years

It's so old fashioned! And there's I Want My Wife Back too- it's as if the BBC's caught in a time warp.

What do you find old fashioned about it?

I hadn't heard of I want my wife back so can't comment on that

I started a thread on I Want My Wife Back and no one posted! Shows how unpopular it is. I will give Mum a go, the title put me right off

Blond bimbo
Thoughtless son
Henpecked man with snobbish partner
Silent friend who will end up with her in the end.

A slightly brought up to date After Henry.

I Want My Wife Back is a BBC programme. It is dire!

It was awful. Really old fashioned. The joke about losing your glasses but they're on your head- went on for far too long and not funny at all.
Waste of Lesley Manville.

I also loved it. So funny and well observed. Pauline is the most believably passive-aggressive character I've seen in a TV show.
