I'm really enjoying it, but I'm hiding this thread for now because I haven't seen last night's episode yet. I didn't know it was finishing.

I'm hoping for a third series....

I'll be back soon!

supernannyisace · 13/04/2012 15:09

Love this series.

I just watched last night's episode and ...OMG. That was v unexpected ending. I don't want to spoilit for anyone who hasn't yet seen it so won't say more.

But

I was in bits. Will hve to wait months now for the next series.

diddl · 13/04/2012 15:11

yy me too diddl but i was shocked for sure

BooMagoo · 13/04/2012 15:16

For anyone impatient,like me,I'm watching series 3 here Smile

mosschops30 · 13/04/2012 15:37

Last nights episode was fab, but sad Sad
One of my fave series, its brilliant

diddl · 13/04/2012 15:48

Anyone know when it´ll be back?

CuriousMama · 13/04/2012 16:31

Oh no Sad What a shock!

diddl · 13/04/2012 16:40

I´m thinking that it won´t be as it seems because there has already been Lee in this series & there was Marlene in series 1.

But then if he ends up needing her to care for him, that might be an interesting twist.

Hope not Sad hes one of the best although such great acting its hard to choose

supernannyisace · 13/04/2012 18:07

boomagoo that site looks good- is it free?

I hate having to wait months to find out.

Tell you what though - her running the marathon inspired me to crack on with my half marathon training :)

Me too. Had to watch the first episode of the next series on boomagoo's link.

failingfast · 13/04/2012 22:24

Wow, just seen it. I guessed as soon as he walked up to the line after Lee and Marlene what had happened. Probably because I was expecting a shock after reading this.

It's such a great series. The acting is second to none and it has humour and sadness in equal measure, but is never depressing to watch. I can't understand why it's still hidden away on More 4. I never see adverts for it; if I hadn't seen a thread on here saying the new series was starting I would have completely missed it.

Really pleased there's a third series Smile

CuriousMama · 14/04/2012 12:04

Yes I guessed too. At least she knows there's an afterlife Smile

lifesalongsong · 14/04/2012 13:51

I just caught up with this last night and I didn't see that coming at all Sad

What a moving end to a fantastic series. Its a shame its tucked away, I don't know anyone in RL who watches it. I think I'll have to check out the link above, I don't want to wait to see what happens.

Its a difficult premise as we know there isn't going to be a miracle cure and really we know we're moving toward Cathy's death but it's so well done.

I'm missing Cynthia Nixon, I hope she might come back in S3.

diddl · 14/04/2012 16:20

Ooh my goodness, I hope CN doesn´t come back!

I loathed her & it was nearly enough for me to stop watching tbh!

Wow! Just watched it on Catch-Up. I never saw that coming!
It's such a fab series - so realistic and well written and acted. Have been loving it.

lifesalongsong · 15/04/2012 21:28

diddl - I think the reason I liked it when she was in was because of the extra storylines outside of the immediate family.

backforgood - it was fantastic wasn't it, I'm still a little moved even now.

MinnieBar · 15/04/2012 21:34

When he walked up and stood just that little bit apart from her son and that bit closer to Lee like at the end of Return of the Jedi I did actually go 'Noooooooooo!' at the telly.

I can't stop thinking about it. Their poor son Sad especially as she's got maybe two years

MinnieBar · 16/04/2012 17:26

Oh and where was Andrea??

supernannyisace · 16/04/2012 17:30

Andrea - I think they said she was with her parents.

she had had a bust up with her bf the previous week - when they were to get marriedin a hurry to secure his visa.

MinnieBar · 16/04/2012 17:36

Aren't her parents in Uganda/The Congo/other troubled African country though?

diddl · 16/04/2012 17:52

Andrea was in the Ep.

Wasn´t she phoning to say that Myk was in the country illegally when Cathy was doing the marathon?

OP posts:
BackforGood · 16/04/2012 20:34

No, that was the previous week, wasn't it ?
They did say she'd gone to her parents - I guess flown over for the Christmas period.
