Actually I probably said this last year, but it made me cry. Ex was about, he said this isn't real you know. I so wanted to believe it ended like that.
I've now got Kayleigh in my head.
I really hope there's a few more, I know Peter is off till 2020 is it? But I'm guessing the odd Christmas special won't hurt.
I think the thing is, if you take the Royle Family, they had some cracking specials, then others like Denise doing the Christmas Dinner, God Rest her Soul, wasn't so much of a fan. But in another light, Craig Cash although he co-scripted with Caroline, if they came together, so Sue, Ricky, etc. They could make an amazing tribute, I think it would break our hearts more than the Queen of Sheeba episode. Going off the track a bit there. But maybe to see their children and possibly grandchildren grown up. I'd say Sheridan Smith as a daughter maybe but she's already been Ralf's GF in it.
But back to the point I was making, you don't want to water it down too much. Going off on a different tangent you had Max & Paddy from Phoenix Nights. So maybe (please, please, please) he's channeling some creative energy on this break into Car Share. As he's never really done family life, I expect being from Bolton, being Catholic, he could make it into something else.
I know he starred in that 70's throwback show where he was the Dad. (Was there ever a series 2?) I don't think he wrote that though.
Peter's observational comedy focuses a lot on the past, so his take on now could be great. In the digital age. Where parenting is on another level.
