Did anybody watch it?

I bloody loved it and me and DH watched it together after DDs were in bed!

Loved the 3 Spanish assassins and the "your mum" jokes Marlow and Shakespeare had going between them 😀

It's on iplayer for those who haven't watched it.

It’s great isn’t it?! I take you are a fan of Ghosts too?

Xtraincome · 03/05/2021 19:17

@LyndaSnellsSniff yes a massive fan of Ghosts! So pleased they broke out to do more things after their run on HH!

Pat is my favourite in Ghosts, then maybe Robin but they're all ace! Who's your fav?

Definitely Pat. He's got so many funny facial expressions! We live v near the filming locations. ☺️

@LyndaSnellsSniff I have wondered where that is! I thought it was Oxfordshire or am I way off?

It's in Surrey. Quite close to Guildford.

StealthPolarBear · 03/05/2021 21:54

What is this? We love hh but not sure what you mean by bill on bbc?

sepsisandAKI · 03/05/2021 21:58

It’s great! Bill is a film with the HH gang in ( my father in law had a tiny part in it - if you squint your eyes you can see him- after you’ve rewound it a few times Grin)

sepsisandAKI · 03/05/2021 21:59

@StealthPolarBear sorry was meant to tag you

StealthPolarBear · 03/05/2021 22:02

Ooh excellent thank you. Dd and I will enjoy that.

Xtraincome · 04/05/2021 17:19

@StealthPolarBear it's a fictional story about William Shakespeare. My DH has quoted the guard reacting to lute and trumpet music, as though they are dropping serious beats! Really good break from regular TV and a surprise find as I don't watch BBC usually.

Bill is great. Ben Willbond as Philip of Spain? Ding dong!

BonnyEm · 04/05/2021 17:28

We've watched everything they've done since HH, all brilliant; Yonderland, Quacks (not all of them are were in Quacks but a fair few were), Bill, Ghosts etc.
They are brilliant!

MrsWooster · 04/05/2021 17:39

Hurrah! Is Bill suitable for kids-they loved Ghosts (sexy bits etc went straight over their heads)?

iklboo · 04/05/2021 21:02

Totally suitable for kids.

HPandTheNeverEndingBedtime · 04/05/2021 21:06

Have you seen the Rotten Romans movie? DD and I went to the first showing at our local cinema, got there early to get good seats, turned out we needn't have bothered as we were the only two in the whole screen and it was brilliant.

I recorded it as was half watching while doing things. Will watch properly but what I saw I really liked. Loved Horrible Histories, and having the same gang in Ghosts and now this is just great. So nice to have a different film on for once, though sadly lacking in ads for it.

Bloodypunkrockers · 04/05/2021 23:00

I love this and recorded it so I'll have it when iplayer removes it

It's very funny and has the very delectable Laurence Rickard in black leather and the also delectable Ben Willbond with his chest out

Icantreachthepretzels · 04/05/2021 23:12

I have it on DVD - but if it's on Iplayer I might go watch it on that just because I can. Love love love the OG HH crew.

I can't decide who my favourite ghost is but if I actually had to be haunted by any of them I think it would be Robin or Mary (or both since I ship them together since they copped off at the party) because they seem like the least needy. Julian is also not very needy - but he is awful (but I love him).
I have a theory that these 3 are the least demanding of Alison's time because they are the ones that can interact with the real world and make their presence felt so they just don't need her as much.

Lady Button can also interact with the real world but she doesn't control it and didn't even realise it happened - and much as I love Martha, I think Lady B is bottom of the pile for who I would want haunting me.

Xtraincome · 05/05/2021 07:46

@MrsWooster kids will love it. Although me and DH did wait until they'd gone to bed so we could enjoy it Grin
