Egg's Dad and Ferdy are NOT the same age, FFS

White Heat casting director should be shot. Egg's Dad (as he will be forever known in my house) was being Egg's Dad when Ferdy was a hot young motorbike courier. There is NO WAY they are credible as mid-sixties contemporaries.

I just needed to vent that Grin. I'm sure it's just me Hmm

I was more worried about Egg's Dad's accent which had slipped several miles south from Newcastle to Yorkshire.

I thought Ferdy looked the most like his supposed earlier self.

Overall it was very good (and I sobbed when they all realised how selfless Orla had been Blush) but those casting niggles took the edge off a little bit.

They could have greyed Ferdy up a bit, couldn't they?

Egg's Dad's accent is immutable, I think. Never heard him do anything different. Which is right and proper, as he is and always will be ED.

I had lots of niggles with the series, to be honest, but still couldn't stop watching. Poor Orla Sad

Best line: Does it make you feel better, blaming it all on me? Well, knock yourself out then!

Oh, and Hugh Quarshie holding onto Orla's vibrator for waaaaaaaay too long - WTF was that about?

Am I over-thinking? Blush

It's just me. I knew it was.
