The Real Marigold Hotel (series 2)

Certainly warmer.

I fancy the "Death in Paradise" island, better weather than Midsomer!

A new board game perhaps?

Was it in the bedroom with a knife or **** in the garden with machete.

It would certainly put Gransnet on the map.

It might have to be set in 'Midsomer'. Murder would definitely ensue if some posters were picked...

Yes all the better POGS Just imagine the viewing figures!

A program such as this would always need a dozy character so I am voting myself in!

It could just work..... now shall we approach Channel 4 or the BBC?

Haha, yes.....such fun!

' A dozen Gransnetters shipped off to somewhere exotic to live together for a month. '

Ye gods can you imagine it if the remit of the programme was to choose GN posters who hold diametric opinions .

Oh you can put my name down for that Auntieflo I am sure it would make for good viewing too. A dozen Gransnetters shipped off to somewhere exotic to live together for a month.

I wonder who would want to murder me first?

I would like the producers of this programme to choose ME and a few other ordinary folk to have a jolly away from home, in the warm and in a beautiful place. To be transported, no worries about tickets, trains, planes, insurance ( pre-existing conditions), and report back on whether they could live wherever. Who shall we contact?

Not a "job" at all POGS. Like so many of these TV series where "celebrities" jet off to far off places in the name of work .

My DH has always wanted to go to India. It really gets on his nerves when I say "maybe in another life" . He is a bit of a dreamer.

That house where they are all staying looks fabulous though doesn't it?

Whilst they were interesting to watch Miriam Margolyes and Rosemary Shrager in Series 1 could really get on your nerves but I am finding this group, so far, easier to watch if I'm being honest.

I like Paul, Dennis and Rusty and I agree Paul looks 'good in a hat'. I think Paul still has that 'twinkle, little boy' look that let's face it did / does appeal to many, me included .

I would love to have the opportunity they are experiencing , free trip, brilliant accommodation, somebody there to always look after you , somebody ensuring your safety etc. A 'dream job' I would say , lucky devils.

I am warming more and more to the people in this group. Those of us who saw Paul in 'Enders recently will have got used to the fact he is older now! Even Bill came over as a likeable person this time. I too feel for Lionel with his distended stomach, he was always such a slip of a thing. I like Rusty and Dennis too. Always liked Amanda since Carry On and Corrie days. Her partner is Hilary Bonner the crime author. I expect even Miriam's face will seem ok by the end of the series.

They are certainly all showing better sides now I thought how handsome Paul looked dressed up he also looks less ill with a bit of colour on his skin he was so pale and ill looking at first, he has lovely teeth The men I think are much easier to watch than the women although I think Rustie is just a real down to earth nice person I do feel sorry for Lionel as he is very self obsessed and obviously prides himself on his fine slim figure and it's obviously on his mind the whole time His tummy is strange as it doesn't look soft and yielding like fat but almost like his organs are in the wrong place and pushing it out. . I m afraid I can't yet warm to Amanda who to me seems as if she's acting all the time or Sheila or Miriam ( who looks like Pricilla Presley) Bill is probably chubby though the medication Lithium is not a nice drug at all I like him and Dennis

I thought they were very brave going on that long train journey so worth it to see that beautiful temple but not an easy thing to do in the heat and as older folks

I am really enjoying this series and always find people interesting, even celebrities. Like others I was shocked to see Paul Nicholas at first but as his personality shines through I am now beginning to find him quite attractive again. Ana

I laughed out loud when I heard the doctor/healer asking Lionel Blair about his diet - enjoys his food, loves sweets, snacks on biscuits etc etc. Also he's clearly not as active as he used to be! Maybe his tummy has something to do with his treatment but honestly too much food and too little exercise .... seems pretty basic to me. Sorry if I sound mean but I have made (and still make) my own excuses too!!

I really like Denis, Amanda and Rustie who seem quite natural and I think Bill Oddie is brave and a lovely, honest man. I too would want to go off on my own from time to time if I were in that situation. I loved it when he said 'manic depression' was a more apt description than bi-polar. I have thought the same.

Miriam - well she might look odd but you can't deny her enthusiasm and excitement. Sheila, possibly the hardest to like but she is her own woman and independent. She just needs to forget about finding a man and develop her own interests.

My DH is only 2 years younger though Ana and has lots of hair, ( not grey either) it doesn't seem fair that some men lose it all early.

Yes that massage with mud and herbs ( or whatever it was) on his tum was very off putting to watch, although at least he seemed to enjoy it.

And Paul Nicholas is 72 - I think most men (and some women, sadly) have receding hairlines at that age!

My DH has got more hair than me, but I really don't mind bald men at all. I agree with Rinouchka I would rather a bald head than a big wobbly belly.

Well, he's got a very receding hairline . Was he in Hair? I loved that show!

Sorry, that should have been not bald!

Paul Nicholas is not bad. Have you been watching a different programme to the rest of us, wot?

I would like to speak up for bald men! Especially those who wear their baldness with pride.

Rather a bald pate than a huge stomach anyday. Watching Lionel Blair's huge tummy being massaged was revolting, even if his condition was due to medication.

Miriam Stoppard is a dermatologist, I think, so am not surprised that she might have gone for the full lift. Weird result, however.

He has got horse teeth.

As long as the bald pates hidden! How many men would marry a woman knowing she was going to end up bald??

Ha ha! Paul looked quiet nice in his Panama hat.
