Yes, we know it's the only thing going be worth watching on TV over Xmas but I am sick & tired of the relentless promotion of this on the BBC at the moment.

I literally cannot switch on the radio or TV without hearing or seeing trailers, promos and interviews with the key protagonists.

Please Make It Stop.

I can’t wait to watch it and love everything related to it so imo YABU

Gentle character led humour is my favourite. Amy other recommendations in that vein?
I'd definitely recommend the Detectorists. This Country is also very good, a bit different as it's a mockumentary.

DickDewy · 21/12/2019 20:36

We are going to watch, but I am already bored with all the promo. Stacey actor is very annoying in rl.

AnyFucker · 21/12/2019 21:21

I second the recommendations for Detectorists and This Country

This Country is one of the best things I have watched in the last couple of years. Hardly anyone else I know has watched it despite my banging on.

motherheroic · 21/12/2019 21:23

Well obviously they're going hard with the promo because it's the last episode they are ever going to do. They don't want it to flop.

7Days · 21/12/2019 21:26

I will give those recommendations a go.
Is detectorists the one with Mackezie Crook?

IfNot · 21/12/2019 21:29

I'm re watching Detectorists at the moment. It's GENIUS, I love it. I almost bought a metal detector last time I watched it Grin
Call the Midwife is on this year isn't it?? That's my favourite part of Xmas day!

IfNot · 21/12/2019 21:30

Yup 7 days. He wrote it too.

@user32564567 Oh! DORIS! Where's the salad?

ballsdeep · 21/12/2019 21:37

Gutted Doris won't be in it though. She was a fab character. Also LOVED her in high hopes ❤️

blubelle7 · 21/12/2019 22:24

I will definitely be watching

Mrsmadevans · 21/12/2019 22:41

Some of the best jokes are the ones you don't know why they are funny like, Owain Hughes - No I don't. And what did happen on that camping trip?

CaptainMyCaptain · 22/12/2019 09:45

I wonder why you bothered to look at the thread about it then ssd.

Excited101 · 22/12/2019 10:00

I loved G&S and am looking forward to the Christmas one, haven’t seen any trailers though!

The80sweregreat · 22/12/2019 10:14

The camping trip will always be a mystery.
I hate how Ness treats Gwen though.. she really is a cow to that poor woman!

Mrsjayy · 22/12/2019 10:18

Call the Midwife is on this year isn't it?? That's my favourite part of Xmas day!

Yes it is on ☺

Marylou62 · 22/12/2019 10:20

Babysat last night from 6.30 till 2am..They had netflix..I watched G&S for 6 hours with tea and biscuits..Brilliant night and can't wait till xmas day!

Letthemysterybe · 22/12/2019 10:23

I used to enjoy watching it, but it’s years old now and it ain’t exactly ‘Only fools and horses’ so I can’t see why they’ve bothered reviving it. I think it just shows a lack of imagination.

CaptainMyCaptain · 22/12/2019 10:36

That's the thing about Ness, she is horrific in so many ways but we can't hate her.

Thehavenots · 22/12/2019 10:43

I love it

sandybanana · 22/12/2019 12:07
