Favourite motherland episode

[lollipoprainbow]

Ok I admit I'm obsessed!

What is your favourite motherland episode ?

I'll start mine is The Cavalry - 'how are my 2 darlings' !

The episode where they went away for the weekend and Kevin was digging a pit to roast a hog.
Hilarious 😂

Hashtag shitstore

The pilot when liz cuts her finger off 😂😂

The halloween party one where Liz is totally oblivious to Lee Mead!

The weekend away.
"It's not my house"

Last episode of third series. I like when Ann finally snaps and calls Amanda a stupid big blonde cow...and Amanda's tiktok dance!

The Christmas special
The last one with the bike ride
Sometimes the mother day one but have to be feeling quite chipper or it just makes me sad. Love Joanna L (hello babies)

The last episode of series 3 when Kevin tells Amanda their sex was good but not great and basically to get over herself. How the tide turned over the series with these two characters.

The school fundraiser where Kevin is a human coat stand, Amanda is compère, Julia ends up with a weekend in Margate and Liz gets shitfaced.

I actually love Amanda, no one else does. You understand a lot after the Mother’s Day episode with Joanna Lumley. And I love her clothes.

Julia is actually quite horrible.

All of them. What I would do for series 4.

The swimming party. "It's not a drop off"

The one I've just watched with the pool party. So accurate and so funny.

The nit pandemic episode from series 3. I was curious whether they would refer to covid at all, and think they incorporated it in the most genius way.

'She has combed positive for nits' kills me

No mum left behind - first episode of series 2 when we meet high-flying Meg and we want to hate her, but they go for a night on the town and she is super embarrassing, totally pissed, then is up early to fly to Frankfurt (or something like that). Brilliant. I want to be her friend!

Hygge Tygge (higgy tiggy!)
The kid’s party with the animal man

The episode where they all go on a night out and Meg is absolutely smashed. Think it is the first episode with Meg in Motherland?

The carpool one, where Anne is pissed and shoves Amanda

Julia is at her absolute worst in this episode.

Don't have a favourite episode, but my favourite scene (of any program ever) is at the birthday party and the daughter pukes on the window. Its so fucking funny.

I don't know if it's my favourite episode but I love the line in the swimming pool where Julia's mum asks her why she hasn't managed to find childcare yet and she replies

"I'm sorry mother, I've been a little busy looking after YOUR grandchildren"

Love all the moments where Anne stands up to Amanda.

I read a thread on here about motherland yesterday and had to rewatch series 3. The mother's day one was fab especially Liz and Kevin's day out at the graveyard. There was such warmth there.

Series 1: The Calvary (Paul's parents)

Series 2: No mum left behind

Series 3: The Catholic Church one

They're all brilliant tbf

The weekend away!

Animal man and the cats!

I think the Gary the plumber episode / storyline had a lot of pathos in it. Not funny but rang true a bit.

I like the school fundraiser episode when Amanda is trying to auction a kiss, and no one wants one… I think Liz ends up buying it for 50p and basically just snogs Amanda on stage and then wanders off, pissed.
