A final final episode!

Fingers crossed they can go out with a bang but not sure!

Thanks I'd missed that.

I'm rewatching tonight. Does anyone know what Budgie meant when he said his babysitter cancelled as her bum is on the blink?!

I’m guessing he means she’s got the shits.

No it wasn’t! His mum was always vulnerable and not with it and now even more so as elderly and his sister had 4 kids and looked to be on her own! Loved their names (Chingford Aldi can’t remember the others !)

Brighton I think one was

Obv Older now

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 never picked up on this before but you are right

And it all seemed little rushed like a whole series into one episode

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

A lot of people in terraced houses only use the back door for friends.

And Taplow.

Isn't it mind's eye? Or am I missing a joke? Did Stacey say that?

It's a Pam quote.

Smithy and Gavin were 29/30 in real life

Edited

I know - I’m talking about the ages of their characters at the start of the series, not them as actors.

diddl · 26/12/2024 21:15

When Pam was saying that she couldn't see Dawn this Tuesday, I was sure that she'd say "see you next Tuesday"!

I kind of wished that they hadn't made Sonia so awful & that Smithy had realised for himself that he wanted to be with Nessa.

Also to me a bit odd saying about he didn't give Nessa an answer to her proposal.

He got engaged to Sonia which is an answer.

Wonkypictureframe · 26/12/2024 21:15

No, they are clearly intended to be mid-late 20s. Smithy’s relationship is played for laughs but is clearly totally inappropriate. He complains that she’s dumped him for a 21 year old.

This has made me view Smithy in a whole different light….. 😬

ToomanyMilesAway · 26/12/2024 21:17

Aaaw it had to be tied up nicely didn't it? I liked it .

I do feel sorry for anyone who wanted to watch the finale but was waiting to see it at another time - the resolution is all over the news. Just heard their wedding vows on Radio 4’s The World at One.

It might have been kinder to give people a little time!

I would agree if it was where it is online first before normal schedule time but once it is on tv i think that makes it offical

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 26/12/2024 21:26

Gavin and Smithy are definitely 28 at the start of the series and Stacey is 26. nessa is 17/18 years older as per last special so would have been 43/44?

LoafofSellotape · 26/12/2024 21:34

I am re watching from the start and Mick asks Nessa if she can drive and she says no. Odd as she's an HGV driver in later episodes 😂

First few episodes are just so good, so funny 😂

CorporaINobbyNobbs · 26/12/2024 21:34

I think Smithy says his age when he is suit shopping with his mam and Rudy.

He actually says ‘do you drive?’ and she says no so that could mean she can drub but doesn’t have a car at the moment (as she doesn’t have her own car the whole series).

She says 'no, which is a shame as I like a good ride' 😂

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/12/2024 21:48

Wonder how Stacey met nessa

If Stace was 17 and nes 35 so -17/18yrs older then her

Think they met when She was 14?

Stace /smithy /gav are around 24 when we meet them so nessa around 41 when got preg

Wonkypictureframe · 26/12/2024 21:49

There’s good chemistry between Nessa and Mick!

We’ve just watched the Behind the Scenes doc on iPlayer and I’m even more irritated now by the mentions of Mick looking frail. He just looks his age.

She definitely would 😉

Wonkypictureframe · 26/12/2024 21:53

I love the time she gives him full on tongue when she says goodbye. Pam’s face!
