No, Stacey was seriously asking, the joke is that Stacey is well known for being a dimwit.

😂

I admit I watched the first episode the very first time around and I loathed it.
People told me to stick with it and I'm glad I did
It's certainly bawdy at times, but it has heart and some memorable characters
Nessa is my favorite one.

I think Bryn just feel very protective of Gwen. I expect he made a deathbed promise to his brother to look after her etc. Also, Dave is no catch and has a shady past, to suddenly spring this on him is bound if unsettle him.

What I don’t understand is why Bryn comes in through the back door so often, he lives over the road, it would take longer to come round the back. I know in this episode he was clearly out in his bike but in earlier ones he’s come over half way through a shave. (I am also aware that it makes it more dramatic).

I always thought he came through the back door as a joke on his sexuality - he likes the back door so to speak….

So why does Stacey ask if she is pregnant when Nessa tells her about proposing to Smithy all those years ago. If Nessa is supposed to be older she's highly unlikely to be pregnant.

Because Stacey has very few functioning brain cells.

Yes, I'm not sure if Stacey's naivety is as convincing as when she was in her 20s, her character had stood still in time, I think they should have developed her a bit more.

Goldenbear · 26/12/2024 17:17

Not as not as

Absolutey. She’s so immature. She’s the only character really that hasn’t shown any development throughout the years……she’s as stupid (and dull) as she was in the first episode.

Deadringer · 26/12/2024 17:20

I was rooting for Nessa to get on the ship.

PullTheBricksDown · 26/12/2024 17:27

Got to series 1 episode 5, the stag and hen nights, and realised for the first time that of the matching stag t shirts, Gary's says 'Gary N' and Simon's says 'N Simon' 😂

the80sweregreat · 26/12/2024 17:31

I can see Nessa as a merchant sea women !
I think that her and Smithy will be very happy though. It won't be a boring relationship / marriage !

I can't stand Stacey. I find all the other main characters, and most of the minor ones, funny and like them in some way but I can't bear Stacey. She's thick, selfish and irritating. She is never funny although things that emerge about her or around her are.

the80sweregreat · 26/12/2024 17:37

Stacey is a needy , spoilt nightmare who wants her own way constantly and completely indulged by those around her.
I don't mind Gavin , he has elements of Mick which is a good thing

I've just started watching it and, being a sad pedant, need to point out that the Little Chef on the A12 was turned into a massive sex shop several years ago (stag plan)! Unless they go and hilarity ensues...

the80sweregreat · 26/12/2024 17:42

Red, that shop on the A 12 is strange !
I often wonder who goes in it .

PetuniaT · 26/12/2024 17:45

Completely pants and predictable.

GodRestYouMerryGentlewench · 26/12/2024 17:51

Made me cry again on a second viewing.

Sublime.

Perhaps watch how the stag do pans out before commenting...

Redflagsabounded · 26/12/2024 17:56

Aha! They missed a comedy opportunity there 😂

@the80sweregreat my mind boggles every time I drive past the big sign advertising their 'fully fenced private car park'

PoloSusan · 26/12/2024 18:06

Tbh the one character I really don't like is Dawn...don't like Pete much either

Some people have no business watching comedy,it's not a documentary 😉

Many of the comments have worried me! So many jokes people don’t seem to get at all.

catsrlife · 26/12/2024 18:10

Just watched it and I loved it. It's a lovely way to end a show that for whatever reason I've always found really comforting.

LuluBlakey1 · 26/12/2024 18:12

LoafofSellotape · 26/12/2024 16:55

Back door is always open I expect so doesn't have to knock.

Also, he is losing Nessa and Neil the baby as his long-time lodgers, so is probably very upset at the thought of Gwenn not needing him and Dave Coaches moving in, especially as Dave Coaches is the one person 'who knows' what happened between him and Jason - bound to be tense for Brynn.

I agree, Brynn will be lonely now. Maybe he'll finally find his way to Grinder? (Yes, I know it's fictional ...)

It is a random place for such a shop.
