Well this is boring.

They are either clearly empty blankets or they look like they are suffocating the "baby"

Df calls Dr Turner Dr Oscar Winner 😁

Nooooo... what's going to happen to Phyllis next week? Nobody is allowed to upset Phyllis, I won't allow it!

OakleyStreetisnotinChelsea · 23/01/2022 21:03

I will personally hunt down and kill anybody who hurts the wonderful Nurse Crane.

@Nevermindful

Social distancing is also really pissing me off.

I think you can tell Helen George is pregnant in this episode. Her face has filled out. I wish I looked that good when pregnant.

You can certainly tell. All the clever camera shots and placing of bags.

The social distancing makes it so stilted. No hug from Phylis or Cyril on the news of the baby!

Right beside you. I’d go all twatty on their arse(s).

Immaculate conception?

A pedant writes:

The immaculate conception was the conception of Mary who was conceived without sin, not Jesus who was conceived without sex.

Sorry.

The props department got something wrong. The bright yellow floral cushions on the sofa next to the twins weren't available until the 1970's. I had the matching curtains in the same colour in my childhood bedroom. They were from M and S and I still had them in the early 2000s !

PriamFarrl · 23/01/2022 21:16

And the bastard lamp that has been in every single bloody episode has come back.
It was on the top of the unit in Lucille and Cyril’s flat.

Akire · 23/01/2022 21:18

Can’t believe they have her pregnant already!

All rather extreme about sending mum to fully staffed hospital 24/7 round clock
Support when she could used bottle instead? I mean I know it’s disappointing if you want breast fed and can’t but at that time many mums chose to and wasn’t seen as awful thing. These days it would never happen “just” for feeding problems that you wanted to keep doing surely?

When I was a child our family were friends with the Grahame Johnstone twins who illustrated childrens books.. Their mother was Doris Zinkeisen She was the first war artist allowed in Belsen when the war finished...

I think it’s the post natal depression that’s the issue. Feeding is part of what’s caused it.

Well, either she wants her contract in the series to end, and is leaving the show for a while, or perhaps she will miscarry (but Cyril will get a job.)

dayswithaY · 23/01/2022 22:01

Ridiculous how Trixie "rescued" the baby from her pram in the street and shouted at the mother. It normal to see babies parked in prams outside shops and houses. My Mum told me it was common practice (in the 1960s) for mothers to wrap the baby up warm and put them outside in their pram either in the garden or outside the house while Mum was inside doing housework.

Another example of applying modern ideas to 1960s parenting. Of course we wouldn't do it now, but it wasn't unusual to see this in 1967.

And Sheila commenting to Dr Turner about his great it was that homosexuality was about to be legalised. They would be prissy and judgemental about it, even in the 1980s a lot of people were!

And all those gormless men walking past Phyllis in ASOS shorts - is that the best the wardrobe department could do!

Nevermindful · 23/01/2022 22:09

The Turners have been understanding about homosexuality in the past so that was in keeping with their views. There had to have been some people who didn’t think it should be illegal or it would never have been legalised.

Could it be good news but life changing? Inherited money?
LIZS · 23/01/2022 22:14

Was the issue not that the baby was outside in the pram alone but the mother had deliberately left her to cry out of sight

Romeiswheretheheartis · 23/01/2022 22:19

It's nothing short of a miracle that Lucille's pregnant - her and Cyril look like they'd combust if they got closer than 2 metres to each other Hmm. They interact like polite acquaintances, not newly-weds.

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 23/01/2022 22:20

Cyril must be very blessed.

Hmmph · 23/01/2022 22:22

My Mum used to stick me in a pram to cry at the bottom of the garden in the 1980s... for hours!

(I don’t think this is a good thing!)

I agree, she is a star, absolutely lovely.

Tonight's episode was good, Lucille and Cyril are a smashing couple and will make great parents. Let's hope they stay in the series a while but they could move if he gets a posh job.

Clawdy · 23/01/2022 22:30

Cyril's smile though....it's so lovely. Wish I lived with someone who smiled like that.

Wizzbangfizz · 23/01/2022 22:33

I love Phylis so much - yet would take a hammer to sister Monica Joan

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 23/01/2022 22:41

I wanted someone to bring Smug Twin Mum down a peg. Couldn't she see something was wrong with her sister?

I

MinglingFlamingo · 23/01/2022 22:44

The game "hiding Trixie's pregnancy" was more obvious tonight. Lots of above waist shots, sitting down, large items like flowers or a briefcases in the way
