Motherland Christmas special on 23rd.....can’t wait.

[Goldistheanswer]

It’s on tonight (23rd) and I’m really looking forward to watching it. We need all the laughs that we can get. Not sure what the storyline is but I saw it advertised.

I cried a bit when I realised Julia's mum had done all the prep. Bit emotional today

Although did I hear right that Julia has dogs?! Or did I imagine that bit?

That was very funny. Loved it.

Yes Julia did mention dogs but I don’t think we’ve ever seen them.

Had no idea about this & love the show. I've given up terrestrial tv so clueless as to what's on.

@GlummyMcGlummerson

If you're reading this *@Glinner* we love you

Totally agree !

I like the fact you don't see much of the children at all. The dogs must be in the same category!

A little bubble of deliciousness. I think an hour would be too long.

Oh god, I loved that last moment - she finally gets to bed, closes her eyes...and the kids wake up. Can do relate!

Ah thanks OP, bloody awful day but (if I can get the TV back after the football!) I will enjoy that on catch up ☺️ Happy Christmas 🌲⛄

I agree @Bluewavescrashing it's refreshing to have a show about motherhood without some unbearably obnoxious and precocious children looking at you Outnumbered front and centre

Was that a different house? I liked the fact that it was more realistic with the chipped paint and everything. Worth a blinking bomb though!

Julia's house was the same @EachandEveryone but I think Amanda's house was different?

I love how they mistook Amanda's "slaggy" bedroom for her daughter'

Sorry, other way round - mistook the daughter's bedroom for Amanda's "slaggy" boudoir

Sharon Hogan did the same Massive-house-in-London thing in Catastrophe. Unrealistic but I like looking at nice houses, so I'll allow it 😊

So funny tonight it brought tears to my eyes

@Strawberrypancakes it's on iplayer

This was amazing 😃

Some really really good laughs!

Mein Kraft/blood on the carpet/scissors and sellotape some perfectly pitched moments. God knows how they filmed it this year (was it Feb 😂?) but I’m so so glad they did!

LOVED LOVED LOVED IT!
gutted that series 2 isn't available to watch now, at least I can't find it.
I was so looking forward to it after re-watching series 1 on Netflix earlier this week- Totally bereft when I couldn't get series 2. Please can we have more BBC? Please please

IPlayer @Strawberrypancakes

Doubt there's space in the schedule for a repeat.

Loved the high 5 turning into a punch on the nose.

The ending was good too, just the right amount of sentimentality.

Thanks for this, I didn't realise it was on and caught up on iplayer. I agree half an hour is perfect.

I really liked how Amanda stood up for herself and they all looked a bit shamed. She's a dick, but sometimes it feels a bit mean girls.

Mein Kraft was my favourite, very well observed.

I loved that it was covid free, it will age well! I am assuming they all took lots of tests and made it covid secure. whatever, I appreciated a bit of normality in an abnormal year.

I don't hate Amanda as much as I feel I want to!

And I want all the decorations in her house!
