Motherland series 3 starts next month!

[Dogatetheleftovers]

I’m so looking forward to this. Just seen the trailer and can’t wait!

I’ve avoided dropping any spoilers as I know there will be people who haven’t seen the whole series yet, if there’s a spoiler thread I’m going try and find it!

On Iplayer there are 5 episodes but on ibdm there are 6.....

Sorry if I caused any excitement, just read on another thread that the 6th episode is the xmas special thats already been aired

I can empathise with the giant year 6 dd! It does happen with girls that age 😁. Mine has size 8 feet and is taller than me

I've started a spoiler thread on telly addicts but can't link ( as I'm hopeless with tech and phones )

Wow, the Mother’s Day episode 💐❤️

I loved last night's episode but I think I could do without the cancer storyline.

Sharon Horgan doesn't seem to have been involved in the writing of series 3

I do love this program but I wish the kids would talk more! It's just been the forgotten world book Day and surely the kids would of said something!

Oh I quite like that the kids don't say anything!

God NO to the kids talking more - we already suffered enough with the precious little twats that we're the Outnumbered children. I like that this is about the adults.

Does anyone else feel like it's a running joke that the kids never speak?

*precocious not precious

I like that the kids barely say a word and it’s all about the adults (and I say that as someone who also loves Outnumbered)

Definitely best to keep kids in the background- who wants to watch other people’s kids in their downtime? when they do those phone ins with kids on radio 2 I dash for the off button

yes I love that no kids in it, not a fan of Outnumbered.

100% the best thing is the kids don't feature. Sad that they went a bit soppy in this series and made Julia's husband less one dimensional, defo didn't need him appearing at the end.

First series still the best for me.

Dear lord, keep the children peripheral.
Keep them shtum!

@yomommasmomma no spoilers Mrs!

Oh whoops sorry. Is there a thread where we can talk about what happened!? I am keen to see what others thought of it!

@yomommasmomma yes I don't know how to do links but it's in telly addicts near the top right now

I've only watched the first 2 episodes but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I thought I would.
I don't really like any of the characters, which I know is sort of the point, but they all just annoy me. I don't feel sorry that x is dealing with y and a is dealing with b (sorry, trying to avoid spoilers), I don't really care one way or another. I don't think I'll watch any more. I'll look on the spoilers thread to see how things end up

Too fucking right the kids should stay out of it. I teach all day, come home to my own little darlings and come 9pm actually want some child free humour

I watched the first episode last night. I didn't like it- clunky and characters have descended into caricatures.

You can definitely tell that the writing team has changed. It's a shame as the Christmas special was pure comedy Gold, with just the right mixture of laughter with something warmer underneath.

Will keep watching but am not impressed.

Kevin is the best of a bad bunch.
' no mum left behind ' he made sure that Amanda was included in something ( can't remember what now not this series ?) and generally tries to be the better person and inclusive.

I thought the series was good but it didn’t have the same feel as series 1 and 2. Then I noticed that Sharon Horgan is no longer writing so maybe that explains the difference. It was good but not as good as first two series.
