Hooray smile hope it is as good as before I have enjoyed this drama series much more than most.

I actually cheered out loud when I saw this announced.

Can’t wait, enjoyed it all so far

Will watch the last Endeavour on Sunday, then Last Tango on catch up, will keep it as a treat!

Can’t wait either. I’m currently rewatching all the old episodes on iPlayer and really enjoying them. The advantage of my failing memory is that it’s as if I’m seeing them for the first time! Such brilliant characters, great story lines and some excellent acting. Really heart-warming.

Looking forward to it very much

Katyj Sat 22-Feb-20 15:49:53

Me too. Love it,bit late for me though on a Sunday evening,going to save it for Saturday nights when there’s nothing on.

Can’t wait either. I’m currently rewatching all the old episodes on iPlayer and really enjoying them.

For some unknown reason I didn’t watch series 4 so I still have a few to catch up on before tomorrow night.

Yes, I'm looking forward to this. I've enjoyed all the previous episodes and hope this is of the same callibre.

I'm looking forward to it as well, be interesting to see how they have all moved on. Hard to believe Anne Reid and Derek Jacobi are in their eighties now.

Series 4 was only two episodes, Juliet27, a 2 part Christmas special I think. We hadn't seen it either so caught up with it yesterday. I'm all ready for series 5 now.

lemongrove Sat 22-Feb-20 21:02:29

Thanks....will record it, hope it lives up to the past series.?

Urmstongran Sat 22-Feb-20 21:30:47

Thanks for the heads up! I love this drama.

WOODMOUSE49 Sat 22-Feb-20 21:33:58

Loved it. Told my life story! After 44 years I met my old flame from 1969. We married three years ago. wink

Teetime Sat 22-Feb-20 22:25:29

I really like this. I cant understand why Ann Reid has not been made a dame...wonderful actress.

TwiceAsNice Sat 22-Feb-20 22:33:13

Love it! I have set Sky to record it in case I forget

Jane43 Sun 23-Feb-20 16:10:55

I’m really looking forward to this, it’s like meeting old friends again. Anne Reid is such a versatile actress, how far she has come since playing Valerie Barlow in Corrie

seacliff Sun 23-Feb-20 16:36:45

Thanks to this thread, I have just re watched the first 3 episodes of the first series. Such great actors. I really enjoyed it although I remembered it as we went along. Looking forward to the new series, what a treat.

Juliet27 Sun 23-Feb-20 22:07:36

Yes Maggiemaybe I spent quite a time searching for Episodes beyond 2. ?
I was a bit disappointed with tonight’s new episode but I shall persevere of course.

BlueBelle Sun 23-Feb-20 22:10:19

There’s only four episodes in this series I was being greedy and hoping for more
Wonderful acting as usual Thoroughly enjoyed it The only thing on tv all night for me

Urmstongran Sun 23-Feb-20 22:21:06

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Celia is a selfish old bag. Me, me, me. Domineering, snobbish woman. I think she’s unhappy and retail therapy ain’t gonna fix that, deep down. A dopamine rush then moaning again, A great part though for Anne Reid she’s a wonderful actress (sorry, actor nowadays!). Bet she’s warm and lovely in real life.

Calendargirl Sun 23-Feb-20 22:24:25

Don’t see anything wrong with saying actress Urmstongran

Luckygirl Sun 23-Feb-20 22:25:55

Too many plot lines tonight - my brain hurts.
