I'm being pathetic, I'm home alone, sick and been so looking forward to this but now I'm feeling anxious that it'll be crap and a disappointment. 🤞 they've done it well.

Go in with low expectations and you won't be too disappointed.

After the last special I don't have high hopes but hoping they end it well.

The last one wasn't and they've had five years to perfect this. I'm just looking forward to it. It's much-loved and Ruth Jones and James Corden are sensitive to that. Get yourself something to drink end enjoy it!

I’ve been looking forward to it for ages !

Well? Verdict?

SPOILERS
I loved it but I hate a chase scene, so that element disappointed me. I also don't understand how come Smithy was engaged for 5 years to Sonia? They mentioned he got engaged just after the last scene with Nessa. They had the air of a couple who were going along with everything at that stage of life, I thought she was younger. Why in 5 years had no one had a chat with him about it?

Neil the baby is gorgeous and a lovely singer. Smithy looked great! Love Gwens storyline.

Agree that was the one important plot point that just didn’t add up. I thought they were going to pick up immediately where they left off which would make more sense.

she was very new last time and it just doesn’t make sense that they would have lasted five years

There is a very busy thread on the telly addicts board...

I think they should have ended it when he asked and she started to smile

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 25/12/2024 23:51

Loved it.

Shite.

I liked when they all got hammered though. I think I got involved in a bottle of that last week 🤣

At the start I thought that Geen was actually seeing Pete 🤣 - not Dave

The thing that floored me most was Anna Maxwell Martin ! 😮

The fishing trip tho Grin

flubuggy · 26/12/2024 07:29

I loved it!

I didn't want to expect too much but we really enjoyed it 😍

flubuggy · 26/12/2024 07:32

But...I agree about the five year gap - it makes no sense that they'd be engaged for five years and nobody said anything til the wedding day. However, it's just a tv program and I enjoyed watching it, plot holes or not

Jumell · 26/12/2024 07:32

Gwen not Geen!

needhelpwiththisplease · 26/12/2024 08:05

Gwen & Dave coaches was a shocker 🤣

VelvetWildflower · 26/12/2024 10:18

I genuinely didn't expect to enjoy it that much. Also loved that it wasn't rushed. I didn't know it was 90 minutes going into it so that was a nice surprise.

Never a fan of a chase scene but really quite liked the ending.

One of my very fav bits was seeing the MASSIVE transformation in Pete !!!

💪💪💪🙌

NoCarbsForMe · 27/12/2024 14:03

Bloody loved it I did.

Bit weird realising I now fancy a 77 year old! Anyone else loving LL?
