Just re-watching it here on Gold. Jean and Dolly have to be my favourites. They definitely had some of the best lines.

Dolly: Who has sex on Christmas morning?
Jean: The Dalai Lama
Dolly: Well! He must peel his sprouts the night before!

And, discussing Jean's relationship with Stan.

Dolly: Is he laying your new lino then?
Jean: He's laying anything he wants to lay!

Jean discussing her ex husband with Bren

Bren: "So the earth didn't move?"
Jean: "Even the headboard didn't move"

Hilarious

It was ok, of it's time but hardly what I'd call 'hilarious' Grin. Unto each their own though. Give me The Thick of It any day of the week!

I was watching this earlier too ...... I love it! I think dolly is fabulous

Loved it and still miss it

Dontgiveamonkeys1350 · 11/01/2019 22:17

Are u saying I thrust thrush into the conversation. 😂

I love that program so much. I have watched it so many time.

WitchDancer · 11/01/2019 22:18

I love it - I've got the box set and it's a go to when I need something gentle and funny to watch.

ImLizawithaZ · 11/01/2019 22:19

Love it! Grin

"My cone is out and my dander is up!"

I love Dinnerladies and can watch it on a loop. It's one of my favourite sitcoms.

Lovingbenidorm · 11/01/2019 22:22

Victoria Wood was an absolute genius.
I was in the audience for the filming of two episodes, brilliant.
“Have you seen my Clint?”
Greatly missed

Weezol · 11/01/2019 22:23

Lovely Tony - " I quite like women in a sad, baffled kind of way"

Stan "Coming to temp now!".

I worked in a factory canteen and some the observations are spot on. I'm just off to butter a raffia coster...

There's two ways to get to Urmston.

Have you not got coats?

Coats? How sad are you?

“Dolly was a beautiful baby,dainty like a little doll, and the WOOF She looked like a dinghy with plaits”
“That was puberty “
“It was not, it was pies”

ChessieFL · 11/01/2019 22:34

Love anything Victoria Wood did.

CrossedToTheDarkSide · 11/01/2019 22:37

One of my all time favourites. I always end up having a really good giggle at every episode. But the Mum used to terrify me!! Blush

I fell off a diving board in Guernsey

TheFaerieQueene · 11/01/2019 22:39

One of the most beautifully written and acted sit coms ever.

WitchDancer · 11/01/2019 22:40

Oh the Christmas do... 'Hold my hair!'

MagicKeysToAsda · 11/01/2019 22:40

It was, and is, my absolute favourite.

  • Are you not pregnant then?
  • Not unless sperm can get through a sash window

Also the scene where they have to choose sizes for new uniform and are all trying to hide their preferred size and Tony yells "Jean! Dolly's changed hers to a medium, do you want to change yours as well?"

catcatcatcat · 11/01/2019 22:40

I used to watch this with my mum when I was having a tough time at high school. It's a program I have wonderful memories of because it was my time with her that felt safe and happy. It's hilarious, and lovely.

Dontgiveamonkeys1350 · 11/01/2019 22:42

I’m going to watch it 2m. ❤️

funnelfanjo · 11/01/2019 22:45

“No speakee lady-talk”

“Genitalia? Is that the silver stuff you put on Christmas trees?”

The whole speech where Dolly thinks she’s taken a Viagra by accident.

Minnelium instead of millennium and even now I have to think twice which one is right.

Stans retractable bollards

Jean: Diets are a waste of time, you could fall under a bus tomorrow
Dolly: Well, I could, you wouldn't fit

Love Dinnerladies so much!

Every character is just wonderful.

HildaZelda · 11/01/2019 22:46

Tony: "I see your mum's doing the hokey pokey with Mr Tashimoto.
Bren: "Yeah"
Tony: "Quite hard to do to Mull of Kintyre" Grin
