Friday Night Dinner

[bendmeoverbackwards]

How have I not watched this before?

Currently watching on Britbox. Proper laugh out loud funny!! Love Martin always doing jobs with no shirt on. And Jim from next door! Just brilliant.

Any other fans?

Yes! We love it in our house. DD2 does a mean ‘Jackieeeee’ impression. So sad to hear that the actor who plays Jim died recently.

Oh I didn’t know that @WiseWitch he must have been young 😢

Totally get you! I shall go further and tell you I am not so secretly in love with Jim!!! It is hilarious. The episode where Jim falls in love with Jibby literally made me cry with laughter,Just brilliant. It was a sad day when Martin died,Paul Rutter was a wonderful actor.Enjoy the rest Op then I suggest re watch it allover again!!!!

Us too. Binge watched the entire series during lockdown 1. We were both upset when Paul “Martin” Ritter died earlier this year

It’s brilliant. (I don’t think Jim died.)

Nice bit of squirrel 😂😂

I love FND, I’m so sad there’ll be no more. Paul Ritter was brilliant.

We started watching this recently - I don't know why they just don't answer the door! They must know by now that it won't end well. But yes poor Martin, he played a very different role in Chernobyl, was shocked that he died so young.

We discovered it in lockdown and its one thing the whole family found hilarious (despite being inappropriate for DS)
Weve adopted lots of catchphrases from there.
DD says "aww poor bobble" to DS which he hates!

Unbelievably sad about Paul Rutter

*Ritter

I know :( he was.

Have you also watched Cuckoo With Helen Baxendale and Greg Davies? Hilarious. (The link being they’re both family favourites introduced to us by our older teen DC)

Hello Jackie!!!

2 Jackie’s?

Dd and I say quotes endlessly 😂

When it first came out I guess I didn’t ‘get’ it. Same story week after week. Piss face and puss face but we got really into it a couple of years ago

Also Gavin and Stacey. I’d never watched it!! It’s hilarious and the same childish humour

It is absolutely comedy gold. We love watching it as a family (2 adults, 2 teens).. My youngest does a mean Jim impression 😅 ..Shalommmmm 😅

Horrible grandma is my favourite! Was sad when she passed away this year too!

When Jim gives Adam a basket of green fruit 😂😂😂

We have the cream tea now?

FND is amazing, was so sad when Paul Ritter died. We have watched them over and over and they're still great!

I love the Mercedes one.

"We took her in the Mercedes, and you know the Mercedes is a very fast car, a very fast car the Mercedes."

It is sheer genius!

The first series is my absolute favourite.

Jim (Mark Heap) is alive and well. Sadly it was Martin (Paul Ritter) that died in April this year.

Love Friday Night Dinner, one of the very best comedy shows in recent years.

It's quite nice to see someone discovering something that's been part of mine and my DCs sayings for 10 years but also a bit funny in a way that people have just realised it exists

shit on it is a well used phrase in my house

Love nice Grandma's boyfriend Mr Morris calling people who piss him off, 'Punk Rockers'.

Just looked up Paul Ritter, so young, that’s heartbreaking ☹️

My 7 year old was learning about Judaism at school this half term and her teacher commented that we obviously watched FND in our house so I dread to think what she’d been telling them.
