Sorry , can't access previous thread

Have any of you watched Yonderland? Same cast & very funny.

I'm a latecomer and recently watched it because it was part of my free package

It's fantastic and well worth the watch

I've just watched all 6 Ghosts tonight and I won't post any spoilers

But wow

Just binged all 6 with a friend who is also a fan, thoroughly enjoyed them! I wasn’t a massive fan of Thomas’s episode but that’s because of the narrative device, I’ve never got on with that sort of thing.

We loved Yonderland. One day I will have pet Parvuli!
The HH/Yonderland/Ghosts team are super talented. And Barbara was my favourite CTM character so I love seeing her in something else.

I was trying to figure out the maths for how old lady Buttom is.
She said that her ancestors came from the cousin.
That was 1826 when they married, their son came to live there (presumably around age 20?)
So that brings us to 1846
That son was Lady button’s husband’s grandfather.
Assuming a generation is 20 years that would mean LB’s husband lived there age 20ish in 1886 ish.
Assuming again lady button is a bit younger but say 50 when she died, that brings us to 1915 or later.
She has always seemed late Victorian early Edwardian to me.
Apologies to anyone who tried to follow this ramble!

I love Thomas dancing to The Cure!

I absolutely loved that! That’s the happiest half hour I’ve spent for months!

Robin is still my absolute favourite. His attempt at writing a rude book in Series 1 is my favourite,
‘And then they do it’

I didn’t notice anything odd about Katy Wix at all!

She's Edwardian. She's also Lady Heather's great grandmother and she would have been born in 1920.

I so enjoyed the first episode last night. I didn’t realise till I saw chrislilleyswig post that the whole series is on iplayer! Now I need to make myself ration it as there’s so little on tv that I like at the moment. I don’t want to binge watch it.

Binged it. No regrets. None.
Bloody fantastic series, they deserve every accolade going.

It is a pure joy.

fantastic show and have watched series 1 three times (first when it aired, then during lockdown and again when DS age 7 discovered it thanks to his older step brother!)

So I'm going to watch all 6 episodes of series 2, i got through 3 last night, to check they're suitable viewing for a 7year old and then watch again with him.

@NotYourDawg I hear you. It was quite funny when my kids spotted something on Episode 2 and I had to explain something to them which features in Episode 3

I thought it was a bit ruder this time.

DD who got to stay up very late to watch all, asked me about a particular term that did make me blush

Some of Jim Howick's comic timing (plays Pat) was

Argh! Going to have to binge watch it now to get all the comments. Do we need a spoilers thread as well?

@CountFosco - yes please to a spoilers thread. We're eking them out and don't want to know what happens in advance if possible.

It really is a series that you can rewatch. I picked up loads of tiny funny things that I missed on first viewing.

I'm trying so hard not to binge, but have just watched ep 2. I couldn't help it

Love Button FM and Pat Butcher’s glorious jingle 😂
Plus Thomas going all smooth with Louise’s pleasing cheese. I still haven’t got over Matt Baynton’s lip biting in the four George’s song at the Horrible Histories proms.

Loved it and will not binge

Wonder if house will end up a hotel /spa like in her dream

@AccioWine

Me too. I adored Thomas dancing and Robin and Mary being all weird with each other.

acciowine and Luna. Same here. Couldn’t help myself.

oh i love the four George's song

Tomato oh the HH songs are brilliant, aren't they? I wonder if there will be any singing in Ghosts? I know there is dancing- I'm loving the dancing!

Me too. Brilliant! Will try hard to watch the others weekly not going to happen
