Scarborough

Just caught up with this, thanks Trisher, really loved it. Glad to know Last Tango is coming back.

Willow thanks for letting us know it is Last Tango in Halifax which is being filmed in Bridlington i forgot to check
I should have remembered as Halifax is also where i am originally from
I believe a second series will be filmed, of Scarborough, i hope so it was a strange ending, but 30 minutes is not long enough

Fleabag was porn for the middle classes.

What a shame the series is over. It was such good viewing. Characters that you cared about. A warmth to it as well as the gentle comedy. I somehow felt the ghost of Victoria Wood was hovering (if you know what I mean!) - the northernness of it I suppose.
Bring on series 2 and less of that Fleabag nonsense!

I love these gentle comedies.

So pleased to hear that Last Tango is doing another series.

Surely that wasn’t the last episode last night it’s only just started!

I've found out it's Last Tango in Halifax which is being filmed in Brid - a friend was down on the sea front a couple of weeks ago and saw all the film crews and actors.

Just watched the final episode of Scarborough. Do hope they bring it back for a second series. Gentle, humorous but also quite poignant with genuine characters. The half hour goes very quickly.

Oh, I love this. Isn't Ollerenshaw a grand Lancashire name!

I enjoyed the Syndicate and Ordinary Lies. Love this style of TV.

I will try to find out what is being filmed in Bridlington

We laughed out loud at the estate agent scene, Calendargirl, and that doesn't happen often these days!

I liked this as soon as I started to watch it. Not quite sure why though. Maybe because the actors are all vaguely familiar. Most likely because it's a comedy drama rather than an attempt at a sitcom. Recent BBC sitcoms have been dire.
It could do with being longer than half an hour though. It's well enough written for that.

Thanks, Maggiemaybe.

I thought the scene with the estate agent the other week was really funny.

Kept going with it and I do think it’s getting better. Sick of dull miserable stuff on the telly so this is uplifting yes thumbs up!

Catherine Tyldesley. She was Eva in Corrie, but she was also in Emmerdale for 2 months (I’ve just googled her, as I didn’t know that). She’s in Strictly at the moment.

I enjoy it, too. Was the actress that plays Stephanie Cole's daughter also in Emmerdale (DH watches that ?)?

Yes, I'm watching too! Fabulous scenery and "good clean fun" portrayed in the script, what's not to like? And at least it NOT A REPEAT!

We really will have to record this as we're now about 2 episodes behind - keep forgetting it's on! I've just been looking to find out what is being filmed in Brid but other than Dad's Army (which was dire but the locations were brilliant) I can't find anything current. Apparently Daniel Day Lewis's film The Phantom Thread was filmed in Robin Hood's Bay so I'm going to watch that tonight - we stayed in a hostel near there on a school science trip so it might be interesting!

I enjoy it, but think it’s nothing like Mum, which I thought was a load of twaddle, but I know I’m in the minority with that opinion.

I love it too, find it by chance no on reminder

I love it, because i live there, but the episodes are too short, but the views are wonderful,and the places they mention are real places,like Peasholm park, but the pub has had it's name changed it is really called The Newcastle Packet.
One of my sons lives in the street where the mum and daughter live , so saw a lot of the filming
A film is also being made in Bridlington, but forgotten the name of it
It is very nice to see local places ,and makes makes it more interesting to watch

I am enjoying it.
I went to Scarborough many years ago and revisited about 6 years ago.
It is a lovely place and I am enjoying the gentle comedy.

Last night's episode was just brilliant. For me, it's on a par with Mum. Love all the characters. Visited Scarborough for the day many years ago while holidaying in York to get the feel of an English coastal resort. Unfortunately it rained for most of the day but there was still a bustle about it. Saw my first Punch & Judy show there!!

It rather draws you in, doesn't it? It's not sitcom, it's just gentle comedy drama with some terrific one-liners, delivered almost as throwaway remarks. And great characters and interactions. The nearest thing I can compare it to is Gavin and Stacey, which also took a while to catch on.
