Anyone watch it? Caught it by accident whilst flicking around and it was cracking!

Worth a look at on catch up if you missed it.

Was very good. Nice to have an orginal storyline too.

furlinedsheepskinjacket · 02/01/2017 17:06

i thought it was great

moglovesselectionboxes · 02/01/2017 17:08

It's one of my favourites the kids are marvellous!

Greenteandchives · 02/01/2017 17:14

Watched this today. What a lovely film. Billy Connolly was fantastic, as were the children. I see it was penned by one of the writers of Outnumbered, and interestingly I think the children were ad libbing.

PardonYourBollocks · 02/01/2017 17:29

Thought this was the best thing I've seen in a long time

JudithTaverner · 02/01/2017 17:45

I saw it by accident last night too

Really enjoyed it!

It was very good. Kids were very touching and natural.
Made a change from the usual rom com type films.

Did not see any trailers for it though, suprising really, i thought it was one of the best things on over the Christmas period .

The children were absolutely fabulous - i am definitely up for a Viking funeral 😆

Watched it last night took a bit of a dark twist Grin but we loved it Billy Connoly was wonderful in it and the children were hilarious and obviously the actors bounced off the adlibbing . Brittish film season has been great on bbc2 this year

MrsJayy · 02/01/2017 17:58

Think the lady in the van is on soon maybe friday?

iklboo · 02/01/2017 18:00

We caught it by accident too - missed the first 20 minutes. It was so good. Funny, touching & moving.

Oh @MrsJayy, you have missed it!

It was on following a programme featuring Alan Bennett - both were brilliant! DH wants to be AB 😄

Julius02 · 02/01/2017 19:08

I turned over and it was on. I loved it - great film and beautiful scenery

MrsJayy · 02/01/2017 19:22

Diana Rigg used to live in that house when she was lady Stirling Dh has fixed a gas leak in it Dh bored us with that fact last night just thought I'd share Grin

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 02/01/2017 19:27

Oh good Lord, watching it now and having a real cry!

JudithTaverner · 02/01/2017 20:32

Mrs Jayy lady in the van on last week. My other favourite film of Christmas (along with Ethel and Ernest and What we did on our holiday).Really good.

I'm so pleased i saw this - I thought the children were so good. (and Billy Connolly too).

What a lovely film. Funny and touching.

ClaraLane · 02/01/2017 22:07

We watched it on Netflix about a year ago and loved it, might need to watch it again one night this week I think!

EllaHen · 02/01/2017 22:15

What an utter, utter gem of a film. Smile

Autumnchill · 02/01/2017 22:18

Pleased I recorded it. Will watch it tomorrow night Smile

Autumnchill · 03/01/2017 19:46

Bloody brilliant! This should have been on Christmas night on BBC1 and not tucked away on BBC2

winewolfhowls · 03/01/2017 21:07

Loved it.billy connelly was amazing, I'm not a huge fan of his comedy but his acting is great in everything I've seen.i particularly love Mrs brown.
I sobbed away when they lit the viking raft.

So glad everyone liked it. Saw it on Netflix recently and will rewatch with DD when I can pin her down. Amazing film.
