I loved this - but I have had a few glasses of wine.
Siobhan Finneran is fabulous in everything.

And Neil Pearson!

I saw the chap who'd come to collect the bike and thought how astonishingly similar he looked to Mick from Brookside, as I remembered him looking 20-25 years ago (played by Louis Emerick). A quick look online revealed that it actually was him! He's barely aged a day!

Anyone else think Amit Shah (Marcus) looks a lot like Rishi Sunak ?

PareidoliaNephophile · 09/07/2020 04:43

They are both similar age (and looking good on it), Shah's parents originally from Kenya, grandparents from Gujurat. Sunak's father was born in Kenya, grandparents from Punjab. Both lovely eyes and smile - so I can see where you are coming from in certain photographs but whether I would think that irl not sure - I can't upload their best photos as a side by side. Wouldn't kick either out of bed for farting, mind.
I still can't get over how similar Zach Braff and Dax Shepherd look. And I spent most of my time watching Casual's Tommy Dewey, trying to get Joel McHale out of my head (that might have been character based rather than just haircut though).

@PareidoliaNephophile

I can see what you mean with Zach and Dax, definite similarities, but to me Tommy and Joel are nothing like each other.

PareidoliaNephophile · 09/07/2020 16:23

No, it was something I couldn't put my finger on - I think the characters in Community and Casual both being immature but charming twunts had more to do with it Wink

Watched it after reading this thread - loved it! Any other suggestions for similar comedies?

Blondeshavemorefun · 15/07/2020 17:33

Oh. Forgotten this was on planner from Friday

mum2jakie · 15/07/2020 22:40

Loved this series! Really funny and great characters. The little twist at the end was very very clever too!

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/07/2020 15:25

Is there more twist

Both standing each other up last week

Will watch tomorrow

BreconBeBuggered · 16/07/2020 21:23

I've been loving this, and have resisted the temptation to watch it all on iplayer. I only binge on shows I've already seen. I really hope there's more to come.

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/07/2020 21:52

Well done @BreconBeBuggered

Tonight’s is fab.

I do think it shows dt as arsehole husband and all care goes to mum

Is it like that with most sn family ?

He’s watching tv /reading she’s trying to do her Work - he’s being no help

Grandad has no patience either And makes it clear he tolerates his granddaughter :(

Think he is embarrassed - maybe older generation thing ?

Tho nanny is lovely

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/07/2020 21:53

Oh ffs

That’s for there she goes

Ignore lol

Blondeshavemorefun · 17/07/2020 22:50

A brother named callum. I actually thought the girl behind the bar Catherine was their sister

Fab ending

Means will be a series 2

We were definitely directed that way.

I've just started this.

Did Marilyn & Cat know that they were the other family?

I can't warm to them the way that they lie/manipulate to get their own way.

The thing with the ashes pissed me off-why would they be given to the?

I like the idea of the sisters bonding.

Blondeshavemorefun · 18/07/2020 10:31

Yes they knew they were the other family

And he had a wife etc

I did wonder if a third family would come when said eagle on he wasn’t around Thursday

And affair family said she didn’t see him Thur

diddl · 18/07/2020 10:48

"Yes they knew they were the other family"

Oh that's awful.

Takes any humour away for me-especially as I find them both annoying & thoughtless.

I've only watched a couple but it does seem to be pointing to another family doesn't it?

No with either of them on a Thurs, boat called "Catkin".

In fact when the bday cake came in for Cat at the meal I thought that it was going to go to someone else!
