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

Wtf is that ending?? 😳

scarbados · 25/12/2019 21:41

I enjoyed it but can see how someone not familiar with the characters would have found it incomprehensible.

Still in love with Nessa after all these years.

AlexanderHalexander · 25/12/2019 21:41

Well, we loved it

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe · 25/12/2019 21:42

No she doesn't; even if you haven't seen the show before you'd appreciate good acting but this one had good acting and really poor acting and little chemistry.

I've watched and re-watched since 'viewing credentials' are being checked... I have to watch series 1-3 again to bleach my mind of that update.

What the actual duck happened on the fishing trip!?!!!!

scarecrowhead · 25/12/2019 21:43

Where's Dave Coaches ??

Sparklingbrook · 25/12/2019 21:44

The whole point of the fishing trip thing is that nobody will ever know.

Reallybadidea · 25/12/2019 21:44

Clunky as fuck.

TheStoreRoom · 25/12/2019 21:45

Loved it loved all the referencing to earlier characters and episodes, this cliffhanger gives me hope there is more to come - thought it may be a let down exceeded my expectations and them some! Brilliant!!

Christmashope19 · 25/12/2019 21:45

I thought it was brilliant!

keepsmiling2015 · 25/12/2019 21:45

I was laughing and crying I loved it. I'm a huge fan though and can appreciate all the small jokes and touches that other people might miss.

KatherineJaneway · 25/12/2019 21:46

I loved it as much as I disliked The Royale Family. Horses for courses.

ChristmasCroissant · 25/12/2019 21:46

To be fair, the BBC has pushed it so much that it had a lot to live up to. But I wasn't too impressed (and yes, I have seen it before Hmm )

Baby Neil is the same person ten years on, aaccording to Twitter

BarbedBloom · 25/12/2019 21:46

I also loved it. For me it picked up when they got to the pub

LoveNote · 25/12/2019 21:46

Brilliant!!

My teens are saying we need more episodes, to see the wedding etc

But we don’t. We can imagine it

kittykatkitty · 25/12/2019 21:47

I've loved every episode apart from this!
It was dull
Bad script
Bad acting off main 4
No chemistry
Shite ending

MurrayTheMonk · 25/12/2019 21:47

We loved it. Can't believe that ending though 🙈

Toooldtobearsed2 · 25/12/2019 21:47

Well this is my very first episode. Never watched it before, but will be looking for box sets, i love gentle humour like this.
