Cuckoo - season 3

[RomComPhooey]

Anyone else watching? DH just laughed our heads off at the bungled baby switch in the car park.

The (not so) new Rachel is actually a really good match as Helen Baxendales's daughter.

Dale's naivety is played for good effect.

We're just waiting to see when the Triads are going to make an appearance.

I love Cuckoo and have loved this series. I think Taylor Lautner is brilliant in this. And I liked the ending because I'm a big softie.

[FellOutOfBedTwice]

Where have they said they're making more?

[SheHasAWildHeart]

I didn't realise that it was on TV too just assumed it was online. Am SO happy that there will be more series. I hope they forget the whole 'China' stuff. I wonder if the boring boyfriend will be back. Love love Dale and Chief Ken together.

[Sometimesithinkimbonkers]

I LOVE Cuckoo !!!! The cast is amazing and varied!!!
Taylor Lautner is fantastic!!! He's way too young for me to fancy!

[GreenShadow]

I've enjoyed most of this series, but yes, whathaveilost, that was a disappointing finale.

(Still glad that they are making another two series, but now sure where they will go from here.)

SheHas - it is on BBC1 but is shown after it has appeared on-line I believe.

[Whathaveilost]

Anyone see Cuckoo tonight?
WT actual F!

Dreadful.

[SheHasAWildHeart]

But I love Cuckoo :( Wish it was on BBC1 or BBC2 so more people are aware of it.

[Davros]

I can't see there being more sadly. Hope I'm wrong. Must go back and watch it all again

[Groovee]

I only found cuckoo on Netflix a few weeks ago and found series 3 on iplayer last week. I've enjoyed it although Steve freaks me out. I also didn't notice that Rachel had changed actress .

[SheHasAWildHeart]

Was that the last ever episode?!

[Bea]

I love cuckoo! Best this series has been university and loved the Billy Bragg cameo in the credits!!
I love Taylor Lautner and Greg Davies! They are brilliant together!
Is this the last series? Hope not!

[AimUnder]

Absolutely love this program - it's the funniest program I've seen in a good while!

[Travelledtheworld]

I have never seen this but it's on BBC1 at the moment !
Making me laugh.
Thrilled to see Taylor Lautner in such a quirky role.
How did they get him involved ?

[MoonriseKingdom]

Glad you liked it. Will look out for series 3.

[ivykaty44]

Moonrise thanks for the recommendation have watched series 1 & 2 on catch up, apparently series 3 is out sometime this year...

[2rebecca]

Our TV doesn't do C4 and ITV catch up unfortunately just iplayer so I mainly watch BBC. Will look for future ones. I liked him in the Inbetweeners.

[MoonriseKingdom]

If you like Greg Davies I would recommend the channel 4 show Man Down (hopefully available on catch up. The first series has Rik Mayall in it. As he died between series he is replaced by the very funny Stephanie Cole. It also has Mrs McClusky from Grange Hill. It's quite dark but very funny.

[2rebecca]

I've always hated slapstick. I hated Laurel and Hardy and Some Mothers do Have em as a child.
I enjoyed the first episode of this series but hated the baby change slapstick and the birthday slapstick this week. The chicken in the cage and 20 question scenes were excellent though

[helzapoppin2]

It would be so expensive to make, I can't see them making it just to kill it.
Maybe it's the puerile aspect that appeals to me. I don't know. They say you find this type of sitcom funny if bits mirror your own life. Well, bits of this do!

[FellOutOfBedTwice]

2rebecca yeah, I don't know. Could be totally wrong about the trying to kill it theory- just can't think of another explaination for the drop in quality!!

Reading this thread has made me think of some of the best bits from when it wasnt shit though and the episode in series 1 where Ken gets accidentally high on MDMA in a favourite of mine.... "We should see the Dexys!"....- I don't have tickets!.... "WE SHOULD GET TICKETS!"

[ASpiderInThebath]

Thank you Purple. I just looked up Tyger Drew Honey's family on wiki. OMG .

[PurpleDaisies]

aspider you need to go to iplayer. Bbc three has gone online only.

[ASpiderInThebath]

I missed this but I loved the first two series. When and where is it on now?

[rosebiggs]

The last episode wasn't great, but the first 2 of this series were fab. Loved Dale and chief Ken at the Mum's group! Not having the younger brother in as much loses something from the family dynamic.

[2rebecca]

If they're going to pay them though they might as well pay someone decent to write the script and just make it clear it's the last series and go out in style, not this anything that can go wrong will go wrong puerile comedy. The neighbour is just an irritation and should be given minor parts if he's in it at all.
