Ann Droid bbc1

[macaroon8]

Just watched 20 minutes of episode 1

Love it.

Ha, I knew it! I love Philomena, especially since an ex colleague of mine was in it, to be fair, her bullshit detector was strong, unsurprisingly to me, but am not that keen on Mandy....

Give it a try.

I binge watched this, thought it would be bad but loved it.

I like Cunk , but Mandy was far too surreal for me and only watched one. I liked her as Liz in motherland.

I was the same. This has won me over to Morgan.

I can't stand her either, usually. But I did enjoy Ann Droid. It wasn't what I was expecting, I was pleasantly entertained.

I heard the snippet promos for it and wasn't sure, but decided to give it a chance and was glad I did. It's better than it sounds, lol.

We like Cunk , except the last one but I disliked Mandy , we watched a few and I can’t quite recall why we gave up but it may have been a bit too disgusting / crude I think . She was excellent in Motherland .

I'm absolutely sick of seeing Sue Sue Sue on social media when it never appeared again after halfway through episode 2. It really wasn't THAT funny! In fact she said Zoo Zoo Zoo if you listen carefully.

Show itself is really amusing though, enjoying it a lot. Watching in TV time trying not to binge.

Lord Ashfordly from Heartbeat.

Yes! I didn't think he was typecast as all I know him from is heartbeat, and he's not like that on there.
I was shocked that he didn't look older - I thought of him as being pretty old when he was on heartbeat but he's only 68 now!

He was in Four Weddings and a Funeral over 30 years ago playing a not dissimilar part and not looking that much younger! Currently has a role in The Archers playing another unpleasant type. I'm sure he's delightful in real life.

I'm fast forwarding through the Renee and girlfriend bits.
Would be great if Ricky Tomlinson's was in it?

I mean now not the Royle family.

Came on specifically to big up this comedy! I wouldn't have watched it because the only time I saw it advertised, the trailer looked a bit rubbish. A friend who's sharp on good new stuff recommended it and I'm glad - it's well-written for some lovely actors and I genuinely laughed out loud.

Just watching episode 4 again. Phyliss plays a fantastic drunk.

DH wouldn’t watch it as he thought it looked a bit rubbish after watching the trailer. I sort of twisted his arm, not literally, and he really enjoyed the episodes that we have seen so far. Now I’ve got DS on board too.

Ann Droid season 2 tipped to be in development following strong reviews and ratings

I loved it. Such a great supporting cast as well. I loved professor Chris and the little friend who runs the charity shop. And Phyllis.

I’d like to see Sue and Linda travelling to places that meant something to Sue and her husband, like the camping one.

I feel about BBC 1 comedies the same as I feel like channel 5 dramas - not very much, but here I am cackling like a swamp witch 😂.
I thought Ghosts was the only thing to make me laugh on this channel.

I would get a robot Linda for my MiL for its fact checking abilities alone:

”Margery! GB News is not a reliable news source!”

I think I would like one when I’m older and am going to set up a Linda fund now. My teenage daughter is fully on board with this plan.

Watched all the episodes. Loved it.

I just received a phone call from my dentist's AI assistant which is called Linda!

Agreed - she's an absolute dream companion - just don't let her push you in the water when you are cold and lost in the woods 😂

I've just watched the last 2 episodes and feel bereft. How unusual to get funny and intelligent humour on the BBC.
