I hardly recognised her. Im glad they have made a new series, i wonder if social distancing made it complicated.

Charliesgotachocolatefactory · 07/12/2021 10:34

She’s lost a lot of weight too.

I was a bit disappointed with last nights ep. Everyone was behaving so awfully to Beth (worse than normal, which is saying something) that I finally thought she was going to do/say something, but no. I can’t watch 6 episodes of it, it’s just getting really nasty now. Although maybe she will be inspired by others actions 🤞.

I feel i should target one of my neighbours, I would happily eat mild vegetable curry.

midsomermurderess · 07/12/2021 13:08

It felt quite flat to me. I hope it picks up, it can be laugh-out loud funny.

TitsInAbsentia · 07/12/2021 14:18

I think it's difficult to keep going sometimes with these comedies but I'll stick with it, how no-one has wiped out Colin and Cathy is a mystery to me...infact if I were Beth I don't think I'd ever open the door!

TheDogsMother · 07/12/2021 14:27

I used to love this programme but the one where Cathy was so awful at Christmas and everyone had to walk on eggshells around her really put me off. It spoiled the Cathy character for me.

Turquoisesol · 07/12/2021 16:18

Last nights episode wasn’t the best. But I will stick with it anyway. Funniest line for me was “they would have had to lose their place in the queue” when the men came out the chippy to help with the fight.

Kinraddie · 07/12/2021 16:42

It still makes me laugh; what happened to the new neighbours Alan & Michelle? Wonder if they're still in it?

Turquoisesol · 07/12/2021 17:13

I thought it was needing Alan and Michelle back again

MadisonAvenue · 07/12/2021 18:02

I saw a screenshot from the Christmas special and Alan and Michelle are in that.

eggandonion · 07/12/2021 19:21

Alan pronounced Alnn. They are great.

grafittiartist · 07/12/2021 19:23

Just love this program.
Am rewatching earlier series.
Agree- last night they went a bit too far. Poor Beth!!

Turquoisesol · 07/12/2021 19:29

Her hair was really bad. She is so pretty thought I wondered if they were deliberately trying to age her. Yes love alnn 😂

Bloodypunkrockers · 07/12/2021 21:55

Just watched on iplayer

Loved the end but I think Beth needs to put her foot down more. She was showing some signs of a backbone so
Maybe that'll come later in the series

midsomermurderess · 07/12/2021 22:20

To be fair, Beth, and her husband, always need to put her/his foot down more. Isn't that the running joke?

Ourlady · 07/12/2021 22:57

I got a shock when I saw Beth. I think she looked very drawn and her hair is awful. I felt her character has changed and she was tougher but didn't quite pull it off. Lots of pulling her face, she was harder. It's not that I want her to stay soft but it made it more serious for me the way she was. There was not a lot of happiness from her at all. There were still a few funny moments but I do hope it picks up.

PriamFarrl · 07/12/2021 23:03

I thought the actor had changed when I first saw Beth!

I do like it but you have to question why they keep spending time together.

sageandbasil · 07/12/2021 23:11

Ahh yes I love this!

Turquoisesol · 08/12/2021 07:55

Yes ourlady I agree. I think if Beth starts to get really annoyed and stand up to them all it won’t work. She is supposed to be lovely

MartyHart · 08/12/2021 07:58

I just adore Christine, best character imo.

Turquoisesol · 08/12/2021 08:06

Yes Christine is hilarious. Delivers the lines so well

terriblyangryattimes · 08/12/2021 08:13

Yes Christine makes it for me. I loved the dynamic between her and her daughter a couple of seasons ago.

MadisonAvenue · 08/12/2021 13:24

She really is 😂

The daughter is in another really good comedy called Jerk. I really recommend it. I think it’s on iplayer.
eggandonion · 08/12/2021 18:56

She was in a strange thriller thing last year, on itv maybe? Shes a really good actress.
