Awww just seen an advert for it

I will have to watch tomorrow as working tonight

Absolutely lovely.

It was great

Enjoyed this. Easy watching, perfect for Xmas xx

It was brilliant made me cry in places

Oh I missed that! Will watch on iplayer.

Enjoyed it! Just right for Christmas viewing.

We always watch it including the series . It's pretty dull in reality or maybe the right word is fluff , but it's something unassuming and I like it that I'm on the same wavelength as the writer and can solve it early on .

I've never seen this before so would I understand the xmas special?

Yes.

Where was Selwyn the duck, best character in it 😅

Does anyone know who wrote the poem read out in the episode? Can’t find anything on Google.

Just seen

can I mention a tiny thing called giving notice 28 days before

as in both have to sign and declare intention

I did google but it says it isn’t a poem and just words

It looked like a celebrant wedding, as there was no statutory declaration and there was only one person - there needs to be two at a legal ceremony.

She’ll have to drag him off to sign the paperwork and have a quick register office wedding 🤣

Thank you.

So they aren’t really proper married then ?

Still more of a wedding than the Return to Paradise one, where the celebrant was falsely accredited under an assumed identity after faking his own death.
Humphrey might have done the necessary preparatory paperwork before the previous wedding plans that got disrupted by the foster placement.
I thought Ade Edmondson was brilliant in this episode, and the board game flashback was lovely.
The ice melting was nonsense, the alarm sensor was infrared so cold things falling would not set it off, and the weight of the bottles would have dropped them vertically onto the bar not at an angle off it.

I did think that about the bottles

I initially thought the nephew might have robbed the wine bar by entering via a tunnel from the coffee shop, hence there being no CCTV. Enjoyed the episode very much.

Really enjoyed that!

So will Selwyn & Humphrey work together on a case?

Phil Wang under the dirty snowman suit!

Just watched this today. Ade Edmondson made me cry, he was fab!
