@Upwiththisiwillnotput wonderful photo

Maybe people left him alone as didn't really know who he was

You should have gone over and asked for a pic together

I bloody loved that 🤣

Thanks for sharing 😂

Clare was spot on!

That was brilliant, thanks! 😅

Almost pmsl 😂

Blondes we are in That London, pretending celebrities are invisible is the law here

That was brilliant. Kieran Hodgson is my absolute favourite in Two Doors Down. I love the episode where he's made a trifle. His take on Line of Duty was better than Line of Duty.

That skit is brilliant, how the hell did he manage to look like Alison 😂

That's brilliant

Your Tommy Lee Royce

He's my least favourite in Two Doors Down but that was hilarious.

turkey dinosaurs, His Neil voice, the stapler

That’s so true isn’t it 😂. First thing you learn on moving here how to studiously pretend you haven’t noticed the celeb whilst kicking your companion under the table to point them out . I remember being at one of those restaurants where you share benches with other diners and me and my now ex being sat next to Kate Hudson and both of us not turning our heads the whole breakfast incase she thought we were staring

It's brilliant innit?

I love how he always manages to capture something of each character that you instantly recognise!

I mean Alison wtf?! And Neckbeard's indignation

And the way Ryan moves his mouth

Ooh DH developed a theory. You know the first episode when she is talking the guy down from setting fire to himself and she says something like "after 7 seconds you'll wish you'd never been born"? He thinks she waited 7 seconds before helping TLR. Hmm...

Oooh!

Good theory Mr @Upwiththisiwillnotput !

Superb!

The Kieran hodgson sketch is bloody hilarious

Alison!!! :)

Suspected of being a PE teacher 🤣

Just chilling

PMSL at that line!

That was spot on! Loved Clare! What a series, I am bereft it’s finished and keep telling anyone who has not watched it to watch it!
Usually I avoid like the plague self congratulatory tv awards, I mean it’s their job, who in normal non tv land gets an award to do their job well?
But hopefully when it’s the next ones I will happily watch to hope HV wins them all.

I'm not sure if it's been asked on a previous thread, or even on this thread somewhere...

When Richard went to visit Darius Knezevic, he couldn't make it and left a message for Richard Allen (his alias rather than Cawood) saying he wasn't there - do we assume he doesn't know he's Catherine's ex/Ryan's grandad and that actually it was a red herring? Or do we think it's another loose string that's not been tied up?

I live in Halifax and so much is filmed here.

One big question from me- Catherine’s other grandchild. Daniel had a baby in the second series but s/he’s not mentioned once in series 3? Seems odd in contrast to how they are with Ryan and that he seems to have just shirked responsibility without accountability.

Other than that, the best programme ever- outstanding. One of those programmes that comes around every decade that you will never forget.

I'd kind of assumed that with every going a bit tits up for Darius - the guy from the flats being arrested, TLR wanting to kill a police officer - he was too busy to turn up to a interview with some journalist. He was probably having an emergency summit with his brother and his henchmen about how to deal with the TLR problem.

Alternatively, we know that Sally Wainwright changed the events of the final episode, so that probably means she had to go back and change events in the previous episodes. Maybe in the original script Darius and Richard met and different outcomes ensued.
