Afterlife Series Two Episode 6 (Gervais)

[CelloMellow]

Very amusing, anyone else seen it?!

Who was the 1980s sitcom actors reunion?

We watched all of both series over about 4 nights. I thought the trans thing was clever. I got a bit sick of the videos of his wife, he would have done better without them, surely!

The paper owner & the widow from the bench. They were in a sitcom together I can't even remember the name of.

Ever Decreasing Circles

Paul (the hairdressing salon owner) and Anne (Martin's long-suffering wife). They even had the same character names

I couldn’t cope with the therapist I kept on moaning to my Husband that he was so unprofessional!

So they were! I missed that!

I like the way he writes about men's vulnerabilities.

And he loves that dog, is that his actual dog?

Ohhh thank you! I never saw that - wasn't allowed to watch much TV in the 80s - but I have heard of it!

I laughed my head off when the wife of the man identifying as an 8 year old trans girl said, yours not trans, you're having a breakdown! He so gets it and I bloody love him for putting this in a show that's going to be watched by millions. Good for you, Ricky.

I had to fast forward the parts with the therapists - absolutely awful (and I am not one for pearlclutching about vulgarity, but it was just sooo unnecessary)

and yes! the self ID part was hilarious and spot on!

"You're a 50 year old plumber from Sheffield, your name's Denis, for fuck's sake"

@Tinselangel did you watch that? The scene in the episode? A budding transwidow situation, but done with humour.

Yes I did. It was very good Lamahaha
