I've just seen the new .

Hang on to your hats for a another round of pregnancy/childbirth bingo and the continuing adventures of the most drama-filled antenatal group and understaffed maternity unit in the country!

Previous thread here to remind yourselves of last series/loose ends and see if any of Bertie's predictions come true!

" I'm thirty next year..... Maybe I should consider MY CHILD before I swan off to study The Great Masters for a YEAR!"

I gave up after ep 3 and having scanned this I seemed to have made the right choice. Awful

Chippednailvarnishing · 01/06/2016 23:05

Hilariously awful!

I also want to know how he's so fantabulous at art that he can apply for a famous art school in an afternoon and be accepted immediately for a course they've presumably already filled which starts tomorrow.

I knew someone who went to Florence to study art and it was bloody hard work for her to be accepted, it doesn't happen like that.

MargotLovedTom · 01/06/2016 23:14

And who the hell will be funding him when he's flouncing round Florence in a smock waving his palette? The father who he has presumably shunned for having shagged his gf years ago?

Have watched the airport scene again for research purposes Grin I think Rowanna would have chosen boyfriend over husband if he'd stayed. Simon went to kiss her on the cheek and she turned it into a kiss on the lips. Hermione Norris is just so good she turned it into a moving scene. He went off with Mollie but didn't hold her hand and looked uncomfortable.

Paul Nicholls is very good as non-camp dad.

absolutelynotfabulous · 02/06/2016 09:31

This prog is not meant to ne serious, though, is it? Is itShock.?

I can't help watching. It's so bad it's good.

Hermione Norris is a good actress, yes, but what's this about her being glamorous?

I'm glad a pp noticed she looks like an old man. She does! She's meant to be a cougarish older woman but she'd never pull a young bloke looking like that. Come on! Stick some slap on that mean-looking face and get yourself a decent haircut, woman!

Now..that gay guy....I most definitely wouldWink.

MadameDePomPom · 02/06/2016 16:38

How bone crushingly fucking annoying is blog mummy's winsome narrative voice? Your blog sounds SO boring love!

And also when she phoned Roanna and was told 'this isn't a good time' she just went 'oh is something wrong', 'oh anything I can help with', 'oh are you sure everything's okay?'

UGH.

Just get off the fucking phone and go back to your shitty blog you idiot woman.

MadameDePomPom · 02/06/2016 16:38

I feel better for getting that off my chest! Grin

gingerboy1912 · 02/06/2016 18:27

Hermoine Norris has very thin hair and it makes her look dishevelled she could do with having a hair piece. But tbh she seems to play the same sort of middle class uptight character with the same hair cut whatever she stars in.

YoureSoSlyButSoAmI · 02/06/2016 18:31

Why could she do with a hairpiece?! Maybe she likes her hair!

She's understated and classy looking and z fab actress.

AndYourBirdCanSing · 02/06/2016 19:05

Hermione Norris with a hair piece?! Shock
And looking like an old man?!

Crikey! I think she's beautiful.

southeastdweller · 02/06/2016 19:08

Hermione Norris is a gorgeous-looking woman and very talented. She's by far the best thing about this show and I'm looking forward to seeing her in the new series of Cold Feet.

AndYourBirdCanSing · 02/06/2016 19:09

I cannot wait for Cold Feet to return. Now there's a show worthy of my time

Lilaclily · 02/06/2016 19:10

Agree with everything southeast just said

YoureSoSlyButSoAmI · 02/06/2016 19:13

She's one of my few "watch it just because she's in it" actors.

Along with Olivia Coleman and Nicola Walker.

AndYourBirdCanSing · 02/06/2016 19:15

She is far too good for this show, and the only reason I have stuck with it!

TooManyButtons · 02/06/2016 19:21

The airport is at the end of my road. Much excitement spotting the local bus Grin

kinkytoes · 02/06/2016 21:10

Whoa! It's a crap show but what's with all the personal comments about HN.

My OH fancies her and he is most definitely younger than her.

Let's be nice, people.

"I also want to know how he's so fantabulous at art that he can apply for a famous art school in an afternoon and be accepted immediately for a course they've presumably already filled which starts tomorrow."

Waiting till the last day can actually work quite well. The school will say yes if there's a space left. I don't know about Florence art schools, but I managed to avoid having to do an interview for a course by applying at the last minute - I knew they would just want to fill the course.

Lulooo · 02/06/2016 22:30

Doesn't anyone else think Christina Bottemley looks like Cameron Diaz?

Lovetobeme · 02/06/2016 23:12

I've just caught up on this weeks episode. It is utterly watchable drivel. However, what is really annoying me is the surrogacy storyline. I want to shout at the screen every time they misrepresent surrogacy and facts such as parental order. surrogacy has a hard time in the media anyway without scriptwriters not even bothering to get their facts straight... Grr

Alisvolatpropiis · 02/06/2016 23:16

She's very pretty Lu but I don't see a likeness to Cameron Diaz.

Love surrogacy is an extremely contentious area, I don't think there is a good/bad way to present it, tbh.

Lovetobeme · 03/06/2016 07:43

There really is, even just getting facts straight would be good :) (and I say this as a mum through surrogacy)

Alisvolatpropiis · 03/06/2016 07:58

Love

Fair enough. In that case, I would perhaps write to the BBC with not so much a complaint but outlining exactly how they could have portrayed the surrogacy storyline in a better, more accurate light. They might take it on board for future programmes.
