This has got to be one of the best TV programmes I have ever seen. How on earth did I miss it the first time round? if you want to watch the most gorgeous light-hearted gentle comedy, go on the BBC iPlayer where you will find all 3 Series Smile Sheila's lemonade! Grin

Thank you for this thread. It has reminded me that I have still not seen series 3. As I am in Canada, I will have to buy it from iTunes. Worth the cost, as far as I'm concerned.

Who is everyone's favorite character? I love them all but Terry and Sheila are ace!

The actress who plays Sheila is Emma Thompson's sister ( and their dad wrote the magic roundabout)

It's so, so good. DH & I used to watch it before bed because it's so gentle.

GuyFawkesDay · 22/03/2020 18:01

It's a proper gem.

If you like it, try Ghosts. Similar vibe.

nuttynutjob · 22/03/2020 18:04

Love love it. Whimsical, gentle and beautiful

It's amazing. And the perfect antidote to this pandemic!🦠
I just love Terry and Sheila 🍋
Lance has a heart of gold.
Simon and Garfunkel never fails to make me laugh. Love it.

Every single character is brilliant. It's the most beautiful and funny programme.

OldSpeclkledHen · 22/03/2020 21:29

OMG just binge watched this thanks to another MN thread! Loved it!

Now secretly want to take up metal detecting 🙊😳

dudsville · 22/03/2020 21:31

It's a beautiful programme, and you can download the theme tune on spotify!

PickAChew · 22/03/2020 21:32

We watched it recently with our 16 year old. Was a bit sad when it finished.

AnneLovesGilbert · 22/03/2020 21:34

A while since we watched it but it’s a joy. Tony Jones can do no wrong!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 22/03/2020 21:35

I need to start it from the start, I've seen a few episodes and love it.

Crikey0000 · 22/03/2020 21:37

I absolutely love it. Wish they'd make another

Morgan · 22/03/2020 21:38

It is fantastic - gentle funny comedy and perfect for now - my DH has been working away and I watched it without him so now he has got home I can watch it with him 😃

Elieza · 22/03/2020 21:40

I even liked the theme tune music Grin

bettyboo40 · 22/03/2020 21:47

Love the theme tune too.
Even the 'baddies' Simon and Garfunkle are very funny. Just rewatched this recently
