Series 2 starts tonight on BBC2. Also all episodes in iPlayer. That's my viewing sorted!

Looking forward to it, Aveline ๐Ÿ˜€

DH dislikes it I'll send him somewhere else in case he mutters all the time.

Whoopie. One of the best programmes for ages.

I love this show! It really makes me smile! smile

I watched episode one. DH was doing something on his laptop. He said "What on earth are you watching with all that swearing?!"

Still very funny though.

Loved it, recommend to my chums they too loved it.

Aveline Sat 07-Sept-24 11:50:39

I have now binge watched the whole series. Series improves from episode to episode. Some excruciatingly funny bits. No spoilers but you'll enjoy it.

So what is it all about? from someone who has never heard of it confused

NotSpaghetti Sat 07-Sept-24 15:07:43

I thought I'd watched two series already!
Maybe I'm wrong!

NotSpaghetti Sat 07-Sept-24 15:11:09

Here's some info sassenach512
A bit quirky, funny, rom-com type series.

I found the first series funny and will definitely watch the second one.

I watched the first episode last year on the recommendation of my sister and niece who were visiting from Australia. I hated it. But, I thought Iโ€™d try again last week and binge watched the whole first series and loved it. There are so many good characters and I love Colin!

Thanks spaghetti I'll give it a go smile
Allira helpful little soul incha? winksmile

No. I obviously haven't seen season 2. Tried it last night.
Didn't feel as good as season 1 - what do others think? Not a strong start.

Sorry!

Colin is a dog, sassenach512, he's in a doggy wheelchair because Gordon injured him in a RTA when ogling Ashley.

Ashley and Gordon are married in real life.

We watched the first series but really couldn't get into it. I just couldn't connect with the characters at all. Nor sure why.

LadyGracie Sun 08-Sept-24 10:10:50

It was one of those series where I wondered why Iโ€™d watched it.

NotSpaghetti Sun 08-Sept-24 10:39:20

Ashley and Gordon are married in real life

Yes, and wrote it too.

Aveline Sun 08-Sept-24 11:29:47

I thought series 2 didn't start strong but by golly it picked up! Some great (awful) characters.
If you like this you might enjoy Fisk. It's VG. Two series of it.

NotSpaghetti Sun 08-Sept-24 18:07:00

Yes. Enjoyed Fisk!

I'm currently watching series 1 and enjoying it. OH is not so keen but he watched it with Stanley our border terrier sitting next to him. Stan was very interested in the first couple of episodes but says he finds Colin a bit boring now and he's very quiet for a border terrier. I think Stan could learn something from Colin!
