Watched the first episode and didn’t laugh once. Won’t be bothering with the rest. Disappointed.
Why oh why can’t they make any funny programmes anymore. Where are the Only Fools and Horses, Fawlty Towers, The Good Life etc type programmes or has people’s sense of humour changed so much?

It didn’t float my boat so I won’t be watching further episodes.
But I hope other Grans enjoy it.
Dawn French has had a great career on TV this far.
(She and I are the same age).

Not even a chuckle I'm afraid, it's just too daft to be funny and the awful wallpaper in every room doesn't help

Disappointing.

Found it absolutely awful, watched ten times and gave up.

It took you 10 watches to come to the conclusion its crap 😂
It took me one viewing of the advert to come to the same conclusion 😂

Oh dear, I was just about to watch it, well I will give it ten mins just to see.

I watched the first episode and that was enough for me. The humour did not appeal to me at all and Dawn French is worthy of better.

Black humour, enjoying it!

Thing is, I love Dawn French and her humour, and daft as it it I laughed and I like the ludicrous plot too, so I’ll be watching the whole series and hopefully chuckling.

I've never found Dawn French to be as funny as she thinks she is. In fact, not funny at all.

I haven't seen it because I wanted to love it but feared I might hate it... I doubt I will watch it now.

Slimswim, I agree. Sat through the first and half of the second and gave up. Won't be watching anymore. She's such a good actress too to waste her talents on this tripe.

Have just caught up with the first episode and on the second now. Completely daft but occasionally funny.

Have recorded it to watch tomorrow, it sounds fun.
