Isn't she irritating

😂😂I’ve just watched today’s abs thinking the same thing!

Mike needs to stop being so accommodating.

Susan took early retirement?!?!

She was born in 1956 so is 67 in “real time” and about 706 in jumped forward time.

Australian retirement age has just increased to 67 but was 66.5 for someone born in 1956.

Do we think that the policeman is going to end up being the father of one of the new kids? He's {the child, not JJ, the other one!) been obsessed with copper family (all names have fallen out of my head!) forr the last 2 weeks. So think that might be it??

It is JJ isn’t it that’s obsessed with policeman rodwell.

Sperm donor situation?
Howbokd are the boys meant to be? Same age?

Yeah it's JJ that's obsessed with Rodwell and daughter. He was looking at his social media profile last week and now pretending to want to be a copper.

I'm assuming that each of the parents is biological mum to each of the boys and used a sperm donor but I don't think it's been fully explained yet so no idea if both boys are the same age. They could have used the same sperm and both be Rodwell's kids.

Yes come on

She'd have been wanting to retire at 60 in real life surely

Is anybody else finding Freevee a bit clunky to watch? It keeps trying to get me to watch episode 1 again, then offers up 'season 2022', before I finally persuade it that I want to watch the episode that follows immediately after the last one they showed me. This happens whether I select Neighbours or go straight to 'continue watching', as if they're not entirely sure what 'continue' means.

My freeve only goes on to play an episode from a previous season if I've watched all the current episodes. So yesterday I watched tues/wed/Thurs back to back and it played them one after the other.

Weirdly though after yesterday's episode it went on to play little house on the prairie which was a blast from the past. Reminded me of days when I was off sick from school watching daytime TV.

At one point mine wanted me to choose between something in that Prairie genre and an episode from last year. No, take me to Monday! I just want Monday's episode! Oh, and skipped to the BBC World Service. Madness.

Mine will play the current episodes in order. But after the last one I’ll get 3 secs to turn it off before an old episode starts.

Is it just me who thought Teresa’s upstairs looks too big for the downstairs? That corridor goes on for miles!

Also Jane has to be the most irritating character for me. I don’t understand why she’s so popular. Mike can do better.

Jane has morphed into a Miss Marple type

Just dreadful

I don’t mind their scenes cos I just think how lively of guy pierce to agree to a few more episodes. Wonder if he will go with drama.

⬆️Lovely!

I’m a few episodes behind but Jane catching her husband having an affair in the car park at Cardiff Castle.. Cardiff Castle doesn’t have a car park, it’s in the middle of the city centre. Wouldn’t have taken them long to research that 🤦🏼‍♀️

I thought thst too, but the carpark we parked in last Christmas to go to the theatre was close to the castle, so I decided they meant that one.

Does anyone know where the Mike & Jane scenes were filmed?

Apparently a private house in Surrey that is meant to be a country house hotel.

@Mybestusername yes, just down the road! It used to be a bird sanctuary/water garden type thing open to the public on Bank Holidays, now closed except for filming/photography.

Is it this place? It's open on 22 Oct The Watergardens

waahhhhhh so Mike is destined to die on his motorbike and never come back to Jane wwaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

@SleepingStandingUp I was thinking the exact same thing......

All this "you go, i'll be waiting for you, we have forever together...." i mean seriously ONE of them is going to die and one of them is more likely to get a movie contract than the other so....

I assume the school plans is going to give Susan something to live for again.

What was with the random chocolate cake? Are we meant to assume that Susan stopped midway through her cake to have sex with Karl? Why would you DO that? I'd make Chris Hemsworth wait for me to finish or at least take it wit me to smear over his body

Urgh but if they kill Mike off then we have to put up with mopey, victim Jane again! Can’t they kill her off? Push her in the lake!!
