Hooray! The new series starts on BBC1 on Tuesday smile. Is anyone else looking forward to it? I have already set my recorder for the whole lot, in case I forget to watch.

I loved the last series and am looking forward to this new one. Hope they don't spoil it.

I've set the new series to record too. Really enjoyed the last one so I'm looking forward to this one

Wow about time something decent to watch so fed up with repeats of stuff and some of the repeats had only been shown last year,biker I loved Mistresses thought it was great to be honest I wouldn't mind a repeat of that.

We lived in the area for 40 years - DH born and brought up there so he for even longer. It's really nice to recognise locations but I much prefer living here on the south coast. It's very cold and bleak in the Pennines in winter. Love the casting of actors with authentic accents!

A well written, good cast series, about time they put something good on television. Reality programmes are fine, loved by many, but I like well acted, well written stories. Is it me????.

Agus Sun 17-Nov-13 13:16:26

Excellent! Recorded here too. Thanks for that shysal. Yes, definitely looking forward to watching this grin

Goody goody, cant wait, hope nobody phones.

kittylester Sun 17-Nov-13 16:44:50

Didn't watch the first series but want to watch the scond - help!

Aka Sun 17-Nov-13 17:06:20

Thanks Shysal just off to set recording smile

MrsSB Sun 17-Nov-13 19:05:29

Have set this to record. My DH doesn't like this type of programme so it's something for me to watch in the week while he's at work. I'm really looking forward to it. Don't know what I'll do in December though as he's retiring at the end of November. I'll have to send him off to do something for an hour each week I think smile

What great news. I loved the series, great actors, wonderful scenery, good dialogue and character development. Sarah Lancashire was a joy, and the school scenes were set in a local school, which added something to the pleasure of watching it. I also liked the teenagers, they were ordinary kids, and also good actors. I'll look forward to Tuesday, which is usually a no tv evening.

England v Germany sad

So.....Bedroom telly, wine and no interruptions. grin

positivepam Sun 17-Nov-13 22:47:54

Love it and can't say anymore ha ha.

Bez Sun 17-Nov-13 22:54:15

Will get DD to record it for me to watch when we get home. The waitress in a restaurant in Louisville a couple of days ago was telling us how much she is enjoying watching it and was delighted when she heard they were doing a second series.

Judthepud2 Sun 17-Nov-13 23:20:44

Yeay. I loved the first series too. Brilliant cast. I'll watch it on my iPad tucked up in bed. The joy of iPlayer! Beats ITVplayer and 4oD rubbish. Can't get those aps to work here. angry

We missed the last couple of episodes, and missed them on catch up too. So I am really looking forward to this series.

Love it and can't wait to see the Yorkshire countryside as part of the bargain. Strange to meet up again with first boyfriend after 40 years .Sadly , he is still married!! Their story is a heart churner and is mixed so well with the trials of their offspring and families. Great viewing.

bikergran Mon 18-Nov-13 21:04:17

GN will be pretty quite between 9pm and 10 tomorrow! wink don't forget the supplies wine wine before you settle down to watch it grin

merlotgran Mon 18-Nov-13 21:23:12

I'll be watching it in bed with wine and something savoury to nibble as I don't like chocs. DH will be watching the footie.
I love the two houses. The farmhouse is cosily shabby and the headteacher's house very Homes and Gardens.

rockgran Mon 18-Nov-13 23:30:12

At last, something decent to watch!

liminetta Tue 19-Nov-13 08:17:14

Last Tango in Halifax or not? After reading these comments, I see no-one has chosen "or not". Cant wait to get home from choir practice to watch the recording!Hope nothing disastrous happens to either of them(the leading characters, I mean). I want a happy ending!!!!!
