Love this program, I am definitely Julia with a hint of Liz..... we have an identical to Amanda in our school..

AIBU to ask which character you relate to the most and why?

We loved that we discovered recently that Anne plays Claire's mum in Derry Girls and is a scary dragon mum.

I enjoyed that cross over too.

The Letdown is also great. I love the scene where they're having sex and he whips out his laptop to check some contraceptive issue and it spirals from there.

I am older than most of you ...... but how I long to be Liz. Her openness - “I’m going home to have a wank in the bath’. Love her xx

Flippety · 31/07/2022 20:24

I’m a perfect combo of Liz and Julia!

Itdoesntreallymatter · 31/07/2022 20:38

Probably a Julia/Liz hybrid. I'm a working mum so stressed a lot, but I kind of just get on with it instead of using people, and I'm not bothered about keeping up appearances like Julia can be.

Definitely not Amanda, haven't got the time to be an Anne or Kevin with organising nice stuff for people, haven't got the home help/cleaner to be a chilled out Meg and can't deal with hangovers.

Itdoesntreallymatter · 31/07/2022 20:46

Done the quiz and apparently I'm a Meg! I wish. Don't have the money or high flying job for that.

I love motherland!!! Was PTA chair and spent much of the time terrified people would see me as Amanda!! (I promise I tried to be nicer!)

thequeenoftheandals · 31/07/2022 21:47

I fucking LOVE Kevin.

i would hate to be married to him but wish he was my friend.

NannaKaren · 31/07/2022 22:16

The writing was first class! Loved the whole series….Kevin was hilarious 😂

Hahaha classic Liz.

Maybeebebe · 31/07/2022 22:30

I tried, but i couldnt get in to it - too much "embarrasment comedy" where people pretend they are stuff or get carried away - I think I gave up on S1 -

Is it possible to be 40% Anne, 20% Liz, 20% Kevin, 10% Julia and 10% Amanda!? I’d say that’s about me!

BossyFlossie76 · 31/07/2022 23:03

I do have Amanda energy, sometimes. There…I said it! I’ve got Anne and Julia traits also so, I’m not awful. I hope.

Yes! This! I identify with this.

THEDEACON · 01/08/2022 01:03

I'm none of them but I've met all of them while working in schools I therefore LOVE Motherland

Georgiachica · 01/08/2022 02:43

I’m American and was in London for a couple weeks in January. I stumbled on this show and binged all three seasons. Season three is on the BBC player which I am dismayed I cannot watch from the US. This show was hilarious. I don’t think there will be a season four based on the time that has passed since season three thoughts?
Gameface is another funny one. Any other ideas for good shows to watch?

Bonbud · 01/08/2022 06:57

I was a liz, but my mate's deffo a Julia. can't remember the bloke's name,but I love him 😍🤣

1982mommaof4 · 30/07/2022 15:41

Season three isn't on Netflix which is annoying !!

BBC a iplayer

EllaB22 · 01/08/2022 09:27

I can't find season 3 (or any season) on BBC Player? Is it only on Amazon Prime via paying in UK?

LidlCinnamonBun · 01/08/2022 19:06

@EllaB22 yeah I had to pay for it on Prime.

spiderlight · 05/08/2022 16:09

@EllaB22 - it's all on Netflix, if that's any good to you.

TheDuchessOfMN · 05/08/2022 18:17

@spiderlight Season 3 isn’t

spiderlight · 05/08/2022 19:22

Oh, sorry. Prime, then :/

EllaB22 · 05/08/2022 19:34

Thanks - I got it on prime!

WetWashing22 · 05/08/2022 20:10

Julia. To the point that I'm an Events Manager and my husband has a football season ticket. And my Mum won't have the kids.

NCNCNCN · 07/08/2022 13:45

I may be late to the party, but everyone should watch series 2 ep 1 with Alexa on 🤣
