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

[CJCregg]

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 . I'm sure it's just me

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 ) 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

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?

It's just me. I knew it was.

not just you , I thought he was going to sniff it.

Thank you, bunny. (But ewwwwww )
