This Country - Series 3

[GCAcademic]

Back on BBC iPlayer on Monday at 7.00pm.

Bittersweet as it will be the final series, and will also incorporate a tribute to Slugs / Michael Sleggs.

I don't think it was!

It's not on his imdb.

The character didnt speak so not in the credits.

More to the point, apparently Kurtan's Nan was some well-known A-lister!
The director posted the following on Twitter:

Kurtan’s nan. Loving the guesses so far but haven’t seen the right name yet. So a few clues:

• They’re not from England
• They flew in especially to do it
• We had NEVER met them before the day
• They have a very creative partner

Most popular vote is for Tilda Swinton but I'm not convinced myself.

I think cate blanchett. I'm a big fan of hers and the way nan speaks reminds me of her. It must be someone tall as Charlie cooper is 186cm tall and nan is almost as real as him even though she is stooping. Cate and tilda are both tall.

Isn't Tilda Swinton English?

Sorry just seen she's Scottish! 🙄

If you like the actress who plays Mandi, she plays Shakira in Man Down (channel 4 Greg Davies) which is amazing if you have not seen it.

She does not play Terri in King Gary - that's the lady who signs Kerry up to the herbal drinks selling scheme......

It was a brilliant episode but I thought the person playing Kurtan's nan was a bad actress so I would be surprised if she was famous for acting! Maybe someone like Ricky Gervais's partner Jane, who is well known with a creative husband but not a professional actress?

I'm pretty sure I read an interview with Daisy where she said that she and Tilda had become friends after filming David Copperfield.

But if it's someone they hadn't met before how could it be Tilda?

Maybe someone the director hadn’t met before?

He had polio
try dancing with your knees back to front

Brilliant

I think that latest episode was the best they’ve ever done

Mandy's story and the reactions to it had me actually crying

I felt so very sad for Kerry in today’s ep first the chickens then her shoe. The vicars news at the end genuinely upset me. Help!! I’m too invested 😂😂

Myname I felt exactly the same, and the vicar's news really threw me. I need to keep telling myself that it's not real 😂

Just watched it. The vicar's news !!! What will they do?

Was that the last one? What a way to end!

I think there's one more

can someone please tell me the door code.

Samcro
can someone please tell me the door code.

Samcro it is:
2 as in two turtles doves
1 as in on it's own is the number one
4 as in G4
6 as in the number six - spelt S-I-X

No, Samcro, the G was just a reference point to what the number........

.........No, Samcro there no G, cos it's just numbers on the door code.

What?..
Itss going to be so sad when thay find out about the vicar

Yes it was number 5 of 6

I thought the vicar was going to have a bombshell moment. Will he actually leave, or will Kerry and Kurtan manage to mess up his transfer somehow so he can't?

Last night's episode was one of my favourites. All of the little details like Kurtan noticing the vicar's travel pillow in the car - where they are to Bristol is probably less than an hour on the train but they wouldn't know that. And I'm taking "faffmeister general" for future use.

I really did feel for Kerry and her poor old cluclucks this time.

I want to know what happened to the vicar's tidy little Skoda Fabia (possibly a Toyota Yaris) he had in the last series. Was it K&K or Jacob who crashed it?
