At last, they've released the news on 12 episodes. Been waiting for ages to tell.

It's going to be a great series.

Ilovelblue · 16/05/2017 09:44

Wow! Thanks pixie and ice. That's a turn up for the books. To go from five episodes where the last one (both series) was too rushed to more than double is quite something.

Pouring with rain here. It's payback for having such glorious weather for several weeks. No excuse not to clean the kitchen this morning!

Nice one pix, let's hope there is more of the boys ... Not read it. But did they say if they were 1 hr eps or half hour?

icemist · 16/05/2017 13:08

This suggests that it will be split into 3 separate showings, first one shown later this year.

Not really a grand announcement and not a secret icemist been general knowledge of 12 for sometime, depends who you know.!

user1471547055 · 16/05/2017 14:36

YorksOAP
Thanks Ice again for your info not sure what the other poster is getting at. ' I am a tad worried'! about the mention of 'life changing' injuries please Tony don't let it be one of our LADS I am not sure he would dare return to the country if that happened. If they are wanting to do other things it is only 8 months!! And lots more publicity

icemist · 16/05/2017 14:37

Good to know, last announcement from BBC clearly stated 10 episodes....

Seeing as it's a press release from BBC and all TV sites are doing articles seems like it is a grand announcement. And judging by reactions across social media fans are treating it as so too.

icemist · 16/05/2017 14:38

Thanks yorks

user1494938875 · 16/05/2017 14:49

Surely icemist knows all about the life changing injuries! depends who you talk too and if you are in the know!

icemist · 16/05/2017 14:53

It would seem to me that you have only registered to make digs at me. If you have something to say, I'm sure you know how to contact me elsewhere

icemist · 16/05/2017 15:02

Lovely from Sean W today

It says life changing situations..could be something different.
Also, did anyone see that there's mention of a new Private, she must be a new medic working with Georgie.
Anyone know anything about her?

Rhubarb01 · 16/05/2017 16:31

Nice Intel. It sounds interesting and more ambitious. Nice to hear there will be more stretching into next year. I wonder if it will feel different to the other series. I also hope we get to know the characters better. I'm not sorry there's no mention of Dr Boring this time. I hope it's more drama and less melodrama and definitely no weddings!

Oh p.s. ilove I wouldn't waste my money on voting in Eurovision let alone paying good money to go there. A glass of Wine and MN will do me.

Ilovelblue · 16/05/2017 18:51

I'm with you Rhu - as in not sorry Dr Dull and Boring isn't in it this time. I know Elvis/Luke isn't to everyone's taste but he floats my boat, maybe not as well as CJ does, but I'm not complaining.

Rhubarb01 · 16/05/2017 20:04

Yes, I can certainly cope with a bit more Elvis, ilove. It will be interesting to see how they play the relationship between him and Georgie going forward. Even if there isn't any full-on 'romance' as such I think the spark will always be there. I'd be amazed if it didn't manifest itself just a little now and then for our entertainment.

icemist · 16/05/2017 21:01

I'm looking forward to seeing LP again as Elvis too. Obv you know who is our fave but he is definitely one to watch.

I meant to ask Rhu if the sound bar has made a great improvement in watching Tv?

Nickel45 · 16/05/2017 21:11

I quite like the interaction with MK and Elvis, MK not taking any of his crap, and the friendship of CJ and Elvis, actually. Just hope the boys' banter is back, and with better lines that's in S2 .... Come on TG you rocked for S1!! Im not really excited about S3 yet, after the disappointment of S2, just looking forward to it, if that makes sense!!

icemist · 16/05/2017 21:31

Does make total sense nickel

Rhubarb01 · 16/05/2017 21:35

ice the sound bar has made quite a difference. I haven't needed the subtitles since we installed it which was a fairly regular occurrence with most programmes. Interestingly, however, I caught a little bit of the BAFTA's on Sunday and when they showed the clip of Sarah Lancashire in Happy Valley I couldn't make it all out, so I reckon there was still something wrong with the sound recording on that programme.

icemist · 16/05/2017 21:48

There was huge amount of mumbling on there rhu. I find Sarah Lancashire mumbles a lot in her acting, yet away from it she speaks very clearly. Rather odd

Ilovelblue · 16/05/2017 22:45

Drat! I thought LP was just for me and Rhu and maybe Rich - wasn't banking on sharing him out any further.

I wonder if Elvis/LP is in all the series, or just some of it?

Agree with Nickel that Two Section generally didn't have great lines/parts in the last series, apart from Fingers and even his role wasn't fantastic.

icemist · 17/05/2017 06:25

He's still in UK ilove but the cast photo from the other week was for the first 2 episodes so must be involved in first mission somehow.

Alwaysfrank · 17/05/2017 08:39

Thanks for the intel ice, good to know what's coming! I really really hope they recapture the feel of series 1 with the scenery and soundtrack, S2 was such a disappointment in that regard.

Ilovelblue · 17/05/2017 09:21

He's not hiding here with me ice but I'd be happy to give him a bed for the night!
