Ann Droid bbc1

[macaroon8]

Just watched 20 minutes of episode 1

Love it.

We finished it last night and really enjoyed it.

Michael was a right lazy lump - I suppose they had to make him like that to contrast with Linda.

The bit where Professor Chris liquidises the raw chicken made me want to 🤮

Watched 3 episodes so far. Really enjoying it.

Professor Chris was Zava in Ted Lasso. He does arrogant well 😅

I watched episode 1 of Can you keep a secret last night. I hadn't heard of it until this thread. Is it supposed to be funny? Just seems to be an idea lifted off the John Darwin scandal. I like the son Craig Roberts. Loved him in the Fundamentals of caring. Doubt I'll watch any more.

I am thinking of watching Ann Droid again though.

The stuttering and halted speech from Michael got annoying very quickly for me and ruined what was otherwise a very good programme, wish he would sod off and leave us with sue sue sue and linda

I think he is supposed to be that irritating,

The writers overdid it with Michael. Characters in comedy have to be heightened but not that much.

I really dislike the Michael character, which I suppose is what we are supposed to do. I can’t help thinking that Sue made a bad job of raising him, if that was her only role. I didn’t like the bumbling Kevin character either. I just wonder what sort of women would actually marry men like these.

Kevin?

I know. Total dick.

I also noticed waffle doggie’s mum

Let’s not solely blane women for how their kids turn out, especially as it’s her ‘only role’.

To me he seemed like typical “but Im a naiiicce boy poor me”

I have no idea why Sue! Sue! Sue! gives me the giggles so much.
Diane Morgan is just a star in everything does.

True. I think I’m just not too enamoured of the overacting.

I've been following the woman who plays Rene for ages on Tik Tok (her name is Andrea Valls), I had no idea she was an actor I just thought she was some random but very talented woman with a Tiktok account!

I haven't noticed any over acting. They all seemed great to me

Watched the first episode and enjoyed it (didn’t think I would). I love Sue Johnston!

Margo Leicester as Phyllis I thought went over the top. I know her character is overbearing but I thought she over did that and ventured into cartoon land.

Three - the AnDroid rep is the Motherland’s Julia’s Nanny from Hell.

We've binged it over three nights. Absolutely loved it, first time I've genuinely laughed out loud at the telly in a long time. But will confess I just sobbed during the last episode 🤣😭❤️ Desperately hoping there's a second series commissioned.

It was good but the characters were all a bit ott. Michael an idiot, his gf evil bitch, the shop owner a mad bag lady, the old man so scruffy, the very pervy husband, Sue on the other hand was a bit too astute to be a doddery 80 year old - but it did make me laugh -just wish DM had calmed it all down a bit.
Im surprised everyone was so moved at the end -I mean Michael was getting it on with a sex robot - hmmmm

Yes it was a bit OTT. I do know people who are a bit like that though but she's something else.

I watched the first 10 minutes of episode one. Tedious and annoying. I switched to something else.

Finished watching this and enjoyed it. Sue Johnstone is brilliant. No wonder Caroline Aherne and Diane Morgan wanted her for their respective series. Hoping for another series.

I know it is only a TV programme, but there is so much to unpick from this comment, women are not solely responsible for how their sons turn out.

Thought it was brilliant and love the actor who plays Michael. I know his character is an arse in this, but somehow I still felt sorry for him. And I loved Kevin in Motherland!
