I can’t believe people don’t watch this show. God bless you all, missing out on this!

What’re your favourite quotes?

Meg singing ‘ohhhh bodyform’ on their night out 😂 I had a colleague that used to sing that line

😂 instantly recognisable to a certain generation

Can't remember the exact quote but when Liz was talking to her ex Lee, and referred to Debbie Louise as Dairylea Cheese😂

FlibbertyGibbitt · 13/04/2023 19:20

Liz after being let down on a date ; “ I shaved my bloody toes for him “ 🤣

“Why isn’t Amanda putting her kids to bed? I didn’t drive hundreds of miles to spend my evening with that 9 year old bell end!”

”Is anyone else wet?”

Liz. The delivery was genius.

Loving that this thread is still going!

Is it ok to admit I haven’t watched Motherland yet, but it sounds amazing…next binge watch sorted 👌

@Umbellifer you won't regret it!

My best friend used to slag it off (why? Female centric maybe, the sexist fool) and then I had the great pleasure of forcing him to watch it and having him grudgingly admit "Yeah, actually, it's really funny" 😁

Umbellifer · 14/04/2023 11:23

Sounds ideal, clever script and strong female characters is def appealing…and I’ll look out for all these quotes 🤣not sure which is my fave yet as there are so many good ones!

TheaBrandt · 14/04/2023 11:27

It’s such good writing. And Liz in particular is very very good. More of the same please! Can we have one for parenting teens and aging ?! There is sooo much fodder there!

That would be amazing - the motherland kids are moving to secondary school anyway aren’t they so the time is right!

Just watching the Christmas one…not sure I can keep pace with all the gags! I can’t see any other episodes though?!

I think that’s the only episode on iPlayer, that’s the most recent one and you’ll find all of the episodes which came before it on Netflix.

Umbellifer · 14/04/2023 14:18

Thank you!

theWarOnPeace · 14/04/2023 16:16

I swear Liz also once referred to Debbie Louise as Debbie Does Dallas 😂

FlibbertyGibbitt · 14/04/2023 16:26

I read this thread on Wednesday as off work this week so binged on Netflix . Just hilarious.

I’ve just started watching it again. It’s on Netflix.
I agree about the Julia quote “Get back it’s not the Antiques Roadshow.”

MadisonAvenue · 14/04/2023 21:20

I’ve been rewatching too.

I haven't RTFT - so many ace quotes - but surely someone has already said my favourite "life's too short to dick about with aubergines" 🤣

Beckywiththefrizzyhair · 16/04/2023 11:26

When Mrs Lamb pulls up Julia for sending Ivy into school in kitten heels, Julia says 'dress for the job you want, I say'. This always tickles me. For any Sharon Horgan fans here,
I read that Netflix is showing all 4 seasons of Catastrophe from 26 April.

I like when they’re away at the holiday cottage and Julia offers to leave her kids’ bath water for Amanda’s kids. Amanda laughs then goes “oh, you’re actually serious?”.

Definitely agree with Amanda on that one. 🤮
