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 ....... 😂

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.

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? 🤔

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
