Off topic entirely, but can someone confirm that the dog survives to the end? I was on tenterhooks all the way through series 1!

Ricky Gervais is incredible! I have a splitting headache from switching from laughing to crying again and again. I'm a mess after seeing it but I loved it!

I thought that scene was good because the plumber/girl wasn't ridiculed but was basically told that, just because you say you are something doesn't make it true. Also the bit where his wife said I married X and if you are not them any more then I'm not married to you (or something like that)

Also just finished watching it - and weeping.
My adult kids were amazed I liked it but he explores overpowering loss and grief so well. It wasn't always my type of humour - but I reckon he speaks to many people with his understanding of loss. So many great moments, laugh out loud moments and cringe ones. And yes - he'll get grief for that little segment but it covers the issues perfectly!
Something I'll watch again

Just watched the last one. And now I've finished being a whinge bag, I had to return to this thread to say it was fucking amazing. The whole segment.

But boy is he going to get some shit for it.

I flit between thinking he's a genius and he's bit of a knobhead, but I love him for this.

I've not watched it through yet but saw the clip on twitter (did a thread on it earlier but it died a death...)

I 'identify' with Tracy...

I watched the series this morning. It is excellent, every bit as good as the first series.

My husband thought the 50 year old plumber as a trans 8 year old was a bit far fetched, cue googling Stephonknee, about which he was incredulous!

Yet to see series 2 though. Excited.

crazylady7 · 25/04/2020 20:02

Watched it all a few weeks back.
Found it hilariousGrin

I'm just watching this. Not at episode 6 yet but am really enjoying it, Very bitter sweet. Smile

Yes! I almost posted last night after I finished the series but forgot.

I thought it was a good scene and shows that he's done his research if he knows about Stefonknee Wolscht, as I assume it was based on that.

Also the discussion of where have all the transvestites of old gone.

For anyone that wants to see it, it starts are 12:43 mins in.
