Fleabag finale episode SPOILERS thread

[HotPriest]

Crack open a can of and join your fellow iPlayer stalkers here for discussion of the final episode of Fleabag. Spoilers totally allowed so no peaking if you haven't see the episode.

Hoping it's as good as we all want it to be. Should be live on iPlayer tomorrow about 9.30am

I found it very hard to find female british actors over 55.
There is also Emma Thompson,
whoever it is needs to be dark haired., and I hoped tall.
Or Andie McDowell, as a Brit

Juliet Stevenson? With died hair. I can't believe I am doing this.

Dyed hair

ooh yes, lovely Juliet Stevenson

Phyllida Law, Emma Thompson's mother. I don't know if she's still acting but she is tall and willowy and does good waspish.

phylida would be the grandma

Yes, I was thinking her younger self I suppose.

Anna Chancellor !! Perfect....she’s born to be Fleabag’s mum

am I the only person who doesn't want to see Mummy Fleabag?

I rewatched the final episode. I wasn't paying enough attention in series 1, so clearly missed a thing....Martin says "I fired the humming cleaner" - what's that about please?

also really bugged by Twitter saying that Andrew Scott is signing something at the bus stop....does anyone know about that, oh Fleabag gurus?

Thanks

whoever it is needs to be dark haired

But in her 60s? Grey hair surely.

yes of course grey haired, but previous black hair

But in her 60s? Grey hair surely.

Women dye their hair. My auntie in her 60s does and my MIL in her 70s. A woman in her 60s now will have been born in the 1950s and lived through the Swinging Sixties

can i say that olivia colman is younger than bill patterson so perhaps Anna Chancellor isnt so far fetched.

I don't want to see fleabags mother. It's done. I loved the ending. Can't watch again yet as I am still feeling a bit hurt it's over
Yes I didn't catch what fired the humming cleaner meant. I supposed it could be a throwaway funny glimpse into their lives and he was grasping onto power because he fired the cleaner who annoyed Claire because she hummed when she was cleaning

It seemed so specific, the humming cleaner

I've been looking for memes, there don't seem to be any! I will sort it myself at some point.

"love is awful"

oh and I haven't looked but I always thought a pic of Olivia Colman giving her Oscars speech with the caption of her words "gosh, this is really quite stressful" is needed. Good one for the office! I might ask my boss if I can do that

I wouldn't mind seeing a brief, silent cameo of Fleabags Mum - a snapshot flashback to them all together or something- but I don't need to "meet her" if that makes sense?

Anna Chancellor or Keeley Hawes could do it, I think. Would love to see Celia Imrie as a family member!

I thought Keeley Hawes too ...who wouldn’t her to be our mum 😂

I e just googled Keeley Hawes ....she’s actually 4 years younger than me

I just did a double take at Keeley Hawes - love love love her, but was thinking, isn't she my age?!

also I have not seen her being a mum but I don't often watch things based on family.

to me, KH is such a star - which made me think of this

can i say that olivia colman is younger than bill patterson so perhaps Anna Chancellor isnt so far fetched.

There's a world of difference having a step mum 11 years older than you and a mother who was a teenager when she had your sister to a man 20 years older than her. Fleabag's father would have been very old and distant when she was growing up.

The humming cleaner is just a funny example of how uptight Clare is and the husband trying to find reasons for her to stay

@Cozzo What has she had done to her teeth?

She'll be working on the new bond script. Excited to see what she does next.

Think it’s just a subtle straightening up Wednes. I rewatched S1 after S2 and noticed her teeth looked less even.

Maybe the Bond women will break the 4th wall and tell us what they’re really thinking?

JB: I’ll have a martini, shaken not stirred.
BG: God he’s a knob. Might shag him anyway though.
