Couldn't see what's funny about it, gave up after 5 minutes.
Bit cringey

It's about the characters, if you don't know them I can't see anyone appreciating it at all

SyntheticPumpkin · 25/12/2019 20:54

I’m getting really bored with it and I loved the original

Sillyshell · 25/12/2019 20:54

Oh no, I'm really enjoying it. It's like they've never been away Smile

That Bryn thing was Vintage Bryn

Crikey - to me it's just an extension and perfectly good.
Dawn ....... 😂

BumbleBeee69 · 25/12/2019 21:02

It's like coming home to very old friends..... I LOVE it.. Mick and Pamelaaar.. just fabulous

danni0509 · 25/12/2019 21:03

I'm loving it.

Loved the spliff bit, proper laughing how much she over reacted.

Shinyshoes2 · 25/12/2019 21:03

I'm a huge fan and I SERIOUSLY watch no TV but I was looking forward to this ... I Am.VERY disappointed

kittykatkitty · 25/12/2019 21:05

It's just so dull and predictable

Happinessinapeartree · 25/12/2019 21:05

I thought Ruth Jones had lost weight. She's massive in this.

It's a bit clunky but sticking with it.

TheDevilsPedicure · 25/12/2019 21:06

It would be ok if they weren't making constant references to the bits from the past series, it just feels lazy. Not enjoying it all that much.

SyntheticPumpkin · 25/12/2019 21:07

I’m cringing at the song and not in a good way. It’s not funny, it’s just bad.

VanyaHargreeves · 25/12/2019 21:09

Nessa Pregnant? 🤔

ssd · 25/12/2019 21:09

I guess it's just horses for courses then

No laughs so far. I had massive expectations and am feeling let down

carly2803 · 25/12/2019 21:16

no laughs here, feel very deflated. So sad

FreezerBird · 25/12/2019 21:18

I'm not really feeling it but I enjoyed that Nessa took Shane McGowan's part and Bryn Kirsty MacColl's in the song.

BumbleBeee69 · 25/12/2019 21:18

hahahahaha poor Sonia Xmas Shock lamb to the slaughter [frgin]

Violetroselily · 25/12/2019 21:18

I'm really enjoying it. It's like it hasn't been away.

Sunshinegirl82 · 25/12/2019 21:18

I'm loving it! I've laughed out loud loads!

Sparklingbrook · 25/12/2019 21:19

I have smiled a couple of times now.

VanyaHargreeves · 25/12/2019 21:20

This awkward intro is so relatable

TheStoreRoom · 25/12/2019 21:21

We laughed out loud a few times I’ve really enjoyed it so far 👍👍

Wincarnis · 25/12/2019 21:23

You’re not alone OP
