I have enjoyed each series and the start of this one did not disappoint.
I agree nanaK54 that Maurice s on the spectrum and that ‘ Joe’ is brilliant.

This is by far my favourite current programme.
I think that we are meant to surmise that Maurice (CE) is on the Autistic Spectrum himself
I think that the actor who plays Joe is wonderful, so talented

I love it and really glad it's back. Brilliant acting and I love the touching relationship between Christopher Ecclestone's character and his girlfriend's son.

CE seems to have taken over as the main character. But he's very good. I'm enjoying it and will carry on watching it.

What worried me in the past was the little boy wandering along those mountain roads on his own! He was very young and surely you would have kept a better eye on him at that age.

I watched the first series, but not the second, and won’t be watching this one.
It didn’t appeal to me somehow.

I love this programme and have seen every episode.
I agree Christopher Ecclestone plays a great part. His character makes me laugh but can infuriate me too.

Did anyone else watch this last night. It was excellent and good to catch up with all the characters again. Christopher Ecclestone was really good and held the different story lines together.
