Just seen a series called The Walshes is starting on BBC 4 at ten.
Its written by the Father Ted people so looks promisingGrin

Ahh yes, I saw the previews.
Looks good Grin

Any good? I will try it on Catch Up. I usually like anything Graham Linehan does

fussychica · 12/03/2014 19:07

After seeing the previews I think I'll be sticking to repeats of Father Ted.

ClownsLeftJokersRight · 23/03/2014 20:55

Oh dear I'm not getting on with this. It seems to be veering dangerously towards Mrs Browns Boys too which isn't my cup of tea. I'll stick to Father Ted too I think.

It was reviewed by Kevin on the Wright stuff & he slated it, so I've not watched.

Groovee · 24/03/2014 17:12

Is it on catch up?

hollyisalovelyname · 25/03/2014 21:32

I watched a bit of it. Crapola.
I think one if the writers of Father Ted was involved but more in an advisory capacity to the script writers rather than writing it himself.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 25/03/2014 22:07

I haven't managed to see any of this.
Is it not worth catching on catch-up then?

hollyisalovelyname · 26/03/2014 18:40

As I said, to me it was crapola- but i'd like to hear your view on it

ClownsLeftJokersRight · 26/03/2014 20:02

I think it's very weak and stilted. And the character of their son (name escapes me) seems to be based on a poor impersonation of Dougal from Father TedConfused. The daughter - the sensible one exasperated by her mad family - hasn't that all been done before??

getdownshep · 27/03/2014 14:57

Sorry I recommended this. After watching the first one, oh dearSad what a disappointment.

Now I feel like a loser- was looking for a thread on this to say how much I liked it. I just watched all three episodes on I player and really liked it!

BreconBeBuggered · 31/03/2014 14:43

I'll sit with you, dizzy. I liked it too, though it felt more like an introduction to characters than an actual series.

somedizzywhore1804 · 31/03/2014 14:52

Ah thanks Brecon! Yes, I agree was disappointed that it was only three episodes. Would definitely like to see more. I really like the father character- very well observed.

This thread is 4 years old. I’m guessing the new tv show didn’t take off then lol
