Last Tango in Halifax is back!

One of the very few programmes my OH and I both love so I can actually watch on the nice large flat screen telly and not on my laptop on catchup. Only 6 episodes though - pity.

I really like this programme, good tv is a bit thin on the ground, apart from Borgen. I am looking forward to watching this tonight.

Looking forward to this tonight. I do find it a bit disconcerting that the same small pool of actors tend to do the rounds in dramas. Moving from farmer to criminal to detective in some cases. It takes time for my head to adjust!

I'll have to watch it on catch up - Engerland lost to Germany (again) and that dominated the tv in our house.

I thought it was just as good as the first series. The acting is superb, especially Sarah Lancashire and Nicola Walker.

I'll have to watch it on Catch-up again, as I fell asleep half-way through. Awake at 4am, though - as usual...

I was a bit dubious about this second series, but I was riveted! I do feel for Gillian, she really is one of life's downtrodden...

Great series. I think I would want to slap the husband!!

I thought it was deathly boring last night and I could almost predict the dialogue. Room 101! I'll be taking it off the 'series link' :P

Loved it !

Don't be too hasty, Grannyknot, they had to remind everybody who was whom.

Hunt LOL.

I thoroughly enjoyed it - great dialogue, laughter and tears, lovely scenery.

Loved it.

Loved it - all the older characters are wonderful, but I'm also enjoying the teenagers.

I shall keep watching, it is so lovely.

Does anyone "live" near Halifax etc we are approx. 45 mins away yet never go there. Did visit many yrs ago..where there was a little square with little craft shops arranged.

I did a course in Halifax many years ago. I think the craft shops were in Piece Hall.

I loved the first series too, a tv highlight which is rare these days. Missed it this week but am looking forward to watching it tonight (on catch-up), as my Friday night viewing is not the same now that Gardener's World has finished for the winter. I miss Monty and Carol, does anybody else?

Yes, Gibby, Missing them (and Nigel) already

BTW I read somewhere that Alan Titchmarsh is being replaced by Sophie Raworth to present the coverage of The Chelsea Flower Show. She is looking forward to it because......Her parents love gardening!!!!!

Apparently Monty Don will also do some presenting so every cloud etc., etc., but AT must be pretty miffed.

I saw that Merlot. Oh well if her parents love gardening no wonder she got the job

I was pleased to read that we gransnetters chose Anne Reid for the best older person's character for the Media awards. She deserves it!

I love Monty and Nigel, but not keen on Alan, especially on his chat show.

Loved it! Brilliant story and acting. Three cheers for older actors flying the flag for us!

yes, "Halifax" is a class series Deserves the awards it got

Halifax..series. The acting is great, so is the writing.
