[Blondeshavemorefun]

I love this series. All separate story’s

1 on bens wedding day. All are stunned when bens dad turns up as thought he was dead

Thanks for reminder, love this

Love these.

Something to look forward to after work. Love these dramas.

Easy watching and all tied up in 45 min or so

Crap acting 🥴

I was looking forward to watching it, as previous ones were good. It all seemed a bit pointless.

Is Jimmy McGovern still writing them or is it other writers as well now?

Not sure @absolutetelynotfabulous

Behind as usually

Just watching yesterday’s now

Today’s is about to record

Hmmmm20m and a bit boring

Mainly mum and dad chatting

And the missing best man

Why didn’t anyone go and get rings off jailed best Nan

So dad left as he couldn’t handle life after his 12/13yr died

Sad really :(

E2 a woman struggles to come to terms with her fathers sudden death and the heart breaking discovery that he has a secret second family

I fell asleep before the end of ep 2. What happened please?

I liked 2

Obv the younger daughter wasn’t happy there was an elder daughter

Tho their dad left her mum and maya to be with here

So her her dad wast the saint she thought

They kinda made up

Hollie wrote her a note. She put both pics of families in the funeral sheet and said he was dad to both of them

Maya went to the funeral

Then they painted over his wall

I had a tear at the end tbh

E3 a retiree finds a new lease or life when his daughter gifts him a course of fitness sessions

E 3 rather good l thought and Les Dennis is excellent.

Yes just seen 3. Was good

E4 a gifted but neglected teenager education is jeopardised when she is made homeless

I've really really enjoyed all the other series and was so looking forward to this.
But these ones are a bit flat. Like nothing is going on in them. It's just a lot of monologues and the acting is quite poor.
In today's one they seemed to have reunited the cast of Brookside.
Also have these been filmed in Lockdown as there does not seem to be much interaction?

It's such a shame because past episodes have been amazing.

@itwillallbeokay. Haven’t seen 4 yet

Thanks for the heads-up.

I loved this programme.

I still need to watch 4&5

5 when hearing impaired Rosie is told her deafness is getting worse she is desperate to learn sign lanaguage but facing opposition from husband Nathan

Haven’t seen but he sounds a wanker if not supporting his wife

I've watched all but one of this series. I agree that some of the acting in the Wedding Day one was a bit dodgy.
I liked Hungry to Learn and More than Words. I noticed the school kids were socially distanced in class in Hungry to Learn although Covid didn't feature in it. I recognised the deaf actress Sophie Stone in More than Words from the series Marchlands, which I loved. She's RADA trained so a good actress. Funny to see Bev from Brookside appear in the Hungry to Learn episode. Not seen Get Fit or try lying yet but will watch it

Enjoyed the Les Dennis one. He was good. Some familiar faces from Brookside and Phoenix Nights

I thought the first one, the wedding day, was embarrassingly trite, and forgive me, but the usual Liverpool sentimentality. I really disliked it and haven't felt inclined to watch any of the others.

I agree that one wasn't great, but the others were up to the usual standard
