At the start of episode one there is a glimpse of Rylan as a bot. Which isn’t that hard for him he is very well groomed as a human ! Lol

the80sweregreat · 18/07/2026 15:56

Diane is a natural isn’t she. I liked her as Liz in motherland. She never looks like she is acting , if that makes any sense.

the80sweregreat · 18/07/2026 15:57

I already like the other characters as well.
its a good cast.

I wasn’t quite sure of this as I watched the first episode but it grew on me and watched three episodes. It’s just lovely and quite poignant.Also a big fan of Diane Morgan and Sue Johnston. I got very excited when @the80sweregreat said about there were new episodes of the Cockfields! Unfortunately I think she was talking about the episodes where Gregor Fisher took over from Bobby Ball.
i would love to see a new series of that.

Love Diane Morgan...on tv and also as a person for her animal rights/ vegan stance but was disappointed in this . I've only watched 2 so far tho

Who did rylan play? I loved it - some proper lol moments

They said in the ad they you can have a robot look like someone you know

BG2015 · 18/07/2026 16:29

Watched it all last night.
loved it

bizzey · 18/07/2026 16:39

Never heard of Cockfields , but having heard it mentioned so many times on this thread ,, I am going to have to look it up and watch some !

Monty36 · 18/07/2026 16:57

Seen the ad and that was a no. Looked tedious and deathly dull.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 18/07/2026 17:17

It just made me feel very sad about DM and my aunt, who are widows who live by themselves.

You are missing out.

Give it a go!

Indianajet · 18/07/2026 17:41

I am a widow and live alone (with my dog) but loved it. I did shed a few tears at one point, but also laughed out loud.

I thought this was wonderful. Sue Johnston is brilliant - her face can convey so much without her saying a word. And Diane Morgan is perfect as the robot, not just her face but the way she moves. I was very impressed by how she stood up from the sofa without using her hands. Yes, there were lots of funny bits but one moment at the end of episode 1 suddenly and unexpectedly reduced me to tears.

I could have written this myself, thank you!

I laughed out loud so many times
during the first episode but like you, felt suddenly very moved at the end of it.

Wonderfully original and a great cast, but Diane Morgan is just outstanding.

SirChenjins · 18/07/2026 17:44

I've watched the first 2 episodes and was a bit underwhelmed - hopefully it will improve. I loved Mandy, Philomena Cunk and Motherland, Diane Morgan is usually brilliant so I am staying optimistic.

Saucery · 18/07/2026 20:30

Watched the first two, so funny! They must have had to do many retakes for lots of scenes - the bit where Linda edged the shop customer off to the right and the actor was just about to laugh!

ClassicalQueen · 18/07/2026 20:33

It’s hilarious, I love Diane Morgan.

badhairmum · 18/07/2026 20:36

Mydogisagentleman · 18/07/2026 06:34

I loved the cameos. Rylan etc.
Really want to know who the fortune teller was.
Initially I thought Lucy Beaumont

It's an actress called Souad Faress, she's Usha in the Archers!

Personally I'm cool with spoilers. It's not a Blondes thread so if you want to post spoilers do so

I love Diane Morgan and Sue Johnson but didn’t think this was my thing. After reading this thread definitely going to give it a go

NewYearNewJob2024 · 18/07/2026 21:31

Much better than I was expecting it to be!!

Do you (or anybody) know where you can see them all? Some series seem to be readily available whereas others seem to fly right under the radar.
