It’s certainly different!

januaryjanuarydone · 17/07/2026 21:49

I saw the advert for this and thought it had the potential to be awful, but as it’s got Diane Morgan in it, it must be good?!

Idlewilder · 17/07/2026 21:49

Watched first two episodes, liked it much more than I expected to. Really well written, funny and quiet poignant. Sue Johnston is brilliant.

Mousespoons · 17/07/2026 21:50

Us too
fabulous cast

the80sweregreat · 17/07/2026 21:51

It’s actually quite funny. I wasn’t sure at first, but the acting is good.

Sameoldsameold78 · 17/07/2026 21:53

Love that there’s two from Motherland in it.

the80sweregreat · 17/07/2026 21:54

I said that to Dh, it’s Kevin !! He was none the wiser

the80sweregreat · 17/07/2026 21:55

Sue! Sue!Sue! …

The first one I wasn’t sure about. I don’t hate it but don’t love it either. Julia’s Australian nanny in Motherland is the robot delivery driver.

the80sweregreat · 17/07/2026 21:58

I wondered where I’d seen the delivery woman before.

the80sweregreat · 17/07/2026 22:00

It’s going to be as poignant as these shows tend to be isn’t it ! They will fall in love with each other and grow to love each other won’t they ! ( not a spoiler , but it’s being signposted isn’t it!)

TheChosenTwo · 17/07/2026 22:01

I saw an advert for this but decided I didn’t think I’d like it but I love Diane Morgan!
might give it a go a bit later.

She's the co-creator with Diane Morgan. (She's Sarah Kendall.)

I wasn't expecting to like this much, but I did. Will continue.

the80sweregreat · 17/07/2026 22:02

Diane Morgan always plays odd balls doesn’t she!
She isn’t typecast !!

PrincessScarlett · 17/07/2026 22:03

I was dubious about this. But I absolutely loved it. Different, funny and very poignant.

I loved her in Motherland, can only take small doses of Philomena Clunk, and found Mandy quite hard to watch as she's so clueless (though I know that's the point). But this really works.

the80sweregreat · 17/07/2026 22:14

I do like Cunk, but im a Charlie Brooker fan.

macaroon8 · 17/07/2026 22:30

Glad I'm not alone liking it!

Really enjoyed it !

SabreIsMyFave · 17/07/2026 22:36

I really LOLd at this. 😆 And I didn't expect to. Very funny. Just my cup of tea!

Tomrrowandtomorrowandtommorrow · 17/07/2026 22:36

I'm 52 and stuck at home with a broken ankle and wrist, and for the first time in my life people keep saying I've "had a fall". I watched ep 1 tonight and it's genuinely lovely but has also depressed me...

Perpetuallywondering · 17/07/2026 22:40

Just watched ep 1 with my dd14 and ds11. Ds was absolutely giggling away so we’ll definitely be watching again. Has reminded me that ds would appreciate Philomena Cunk too.

Yea! Same character with more hair!

Needhelp101 · 17/07/2026 23:43

Absolutely loved it. Funny, poignant and with a great cast. Loved Mrs Figg from Harry Potter as Eileen.

Summerhillsquare · 17/07/2026 23:50

I've never found Diane Morgan funny.

But this is the first thing in years that has made me laugh AND cry.

"Unlike Kevin, I am sincere" tipped me over the edge!
