Last Tango in Halifax, new series.

Yes I wondered why such a short series as well BlueBelle I have to say as its gone along I feel its lost some of its spark now.

Loved the Happy Valley reference.

I didn't think Caroline was showing much authority in her new job and yes, that silly little voice is irritating.

She was unprofessional imo to invite that teacher to her home. Nasty response from the teacher though.

God, I love Happy Valley. Fantastic work.

This is dragging for me,the spark has gone.

I think Harrison is a brilliant little actor
I m afraid I thought the police woman scene really awful I was waiting for her to do knee bends with her hands hooked in her uniform and say ‘ello ‘ello ‘ello
Caroline s voice is a fair bit annoying and I don’t remember it being like that before
Why on earth such a short series it’s hardly got started

We need at least 20 more episodes. How on earth can it be wrapped up next week?! I wish Gillian's Robbie would come back. She needs cheered up.

Several laugh out loud moments for me last night. The policewoman was enjoying her opportunity to score some points against Gillian and it made a great scene. Harrison was brilliant too, and I love his relationship with Alan, what a lovely man he is and I hope Celia gets to appreciate him more soon. It looks as if Celia’s insistence to have her new kitchen is going to backfire on her as well so she may get her comeuppance.

Janet43 How does he manage to look clean and tidy?

I agree soop. Harrison is a great character and the young man playing him is doing an outstanding job.

I have a soft spot for Harrison. Excellent script writing.

I’m wondering how they will tie up all the loose ends in one episode next week.

Caroline’s silly little girl voice is really annoying me. Did she speak like that in the previous series? I hadn’t noticed it before.

I was a bit worried about ?Harrison cooking his tea in Alan & Celia’s shed - carbon monoxide poisoning?

I watched the Anne Reid who do you think you are because of the comments on here but didn't think she came across as grumpy, far from it in fact. She kept laughing at serious crimes and failed to see any flaws at all in her ancestors character. I was inclined to think "Daft old bat" quite frankly.

Maybe the little boy painted the giraffe mural (he seems to be living in Celia and Alan’s shed) . How in earth anyone would get scaffolding up and down during the night is beyond me. Maybe they had a sky hook ?

Caroline and Judith would make a great couple and John (the ex) could live with them ?

Would love to see my poor miserable namesake Gillian smile. Personally I think it’s the name. Maybe we are all misery guts.

Can’t believe even it’s finished next week though. It’s only just got started.

Ah - not Jo Joyner!! They DO look similar though (must get new glasses).

No, it was Rachel Leskovac not Jo Joyner.

oldgimmer1 thanks, but I don't don't think it is Jo Joiner, although they do look similar.

Calendargirl ah, I think you are right! Many thanks, was driving me mad last night?

Great episode last night. I'm enjoying the slightly darker feel to this series. The humour runs through the themes of loss. No matter how hard they work or how much they long to be better than they ought to be - the wheel comes off.

Not sure where the storyline with the young lad is heading. Don’t find that very interesting.
And if Alan gossips away to every customer about what recipes they plan to cook with their purchases, he will have a big queue. Luckily the store looked very quiet, obviously no panic buying of loo rolls or hand gel going on there!

Did she play Nick Tilsley’s girlfriend in Corrie a few years ago, she was a hairdresser and pretended to be pregnant with his baby?

"What has the actress playing the police officer been in before? Her face is so familiar, but just can't place her."

Isn't it Jo Joyner? She's in practically everything.

I think she's been in EastEnders, Ackley Bridge, that programme about the detectives in Stratford...she's one of those "go-to" Northern actresses.

What has the actress playing the police officer been in before? Her face is so familiar, but just can't place her.

Yes, I did. A nice touch, I thought!

Anyone else notice in tonight’s episode when that police officer referred to ‘Sergeant Cawood’ the character Sarah Lancashire played in Happy Valley?

I saw the episode and was deeply unimpressed with her - she just seemed rather silly really.

It is usually interesting to see people engage with their past; but she was just plain daft and rather grumpy.
