I know that this has been recommended on here over the years but I’ve just realised it’s now on BBC iplayer so I can finally get to see it.There are six series. Am I right in thinking I’m going to not be able to stop watching it once I start. I still haven’t watched Derry Girls and I’ve got Dear England and Tip Toe to watch, too. And the football…

Oh sorry to hear not on netflix anymore! Give it two episodes to get 'hooked'.

I didnt understand why the main woman went to bed with her clothes and jewels on ?

ExaltedWombat Thu 11-Jun-26 14:51:26

It’s good. Gets a bit preachy in the final series.

All in the book! So clever and witty 👍☘️

The title put me off!

Good job it has.
A real touch of the vapours when you see the town sign 😂

Oh and I just love her outfits.

I started watching it again last night for about the 4th time. I think it’s hilarious. Each time I watch it I spot things that I hadn’t picked up on before. For instance, the Mayor Rolland Schitt (roll in schitt) mentioned his great-grandfather Horace Schitt (horse Schitt). I’m sure there’s more that I’ve to catch too.

If you enjoy it you won’t be able to stop at watching the whole series only once, it’s warm, very funny, and the characters are so endearing.

I must admit that I didn’t take to it at first ( thought it fell into the category of trying too hard to be funny and a bit smutty). But carried on watching and it has grown on me. At first I liked the daughter and the receptionist more than the other characters, especially the way the formers character developed. It was only part way through that I realised who Catherine O’Hara was and remembered how upset people were when she died given that she’s a national treasure in America ( I’ve never been a great Home Alone fan). So I’ve only really watched the first series properly and had the next series on in the background while I did other things but then realised that the people in it had become real people to me and I’d developed a fondness for them. Because I only have terrestrial tv it’s great when I discover a new series and can binge watch the whole thing. ( I still think I’m going to find Derry girls even better but I’ll have to save that for another time).

Yes so sad that Catherine O'Hara died.
She did indeed bring a lot to the series.
I am another huge fan. Only watched it the once so far, but now I may start watching it again for a change.
The series I have been returning to time after time is the American version of The Office. In my opinion much funnier than the British version.

So sad now though knowing the wonderful Catherine O’Hara has died.

I’ve just realised what you meant Mollygo ! 🤣

Bellanonna Thu 11-Jun-26 10:57:29

It’s the only thing I’ve ever watched through more than once. I think I’m on about the 5th time now! Because it’s so long you (well, I) see things I’d forgotten about the previous time I watched it. It really is a one off and all the players are brilliant.
Gutted when it left Netflix; delighted it’s on iPlayer.

Having read this post, we’re going to give it a try, but do you say sch as in school and schism or just as sh?

Sh. You won’t be disappointed 😂

EVEOHA2602 Wed 10-Jun-26 12:37:18

I can highly recommend the book accompanying the series 👍☘️

It’s a good fun watch, I’m not at all surprised its a cult status thing.

henetha Wed 10-Jun-26 11:19:17

I loved it and am planning to watch it right through for the third time now it's on the iplayer.
To me, as well as being funny, it had a real warmth about it and I longed to be part of that family.

ViceVersa Wed 10-Jun-26 11:18:37

I absolutely loved everything about it. One of those series which is just perfect - and there's not many I will say that about.

MG55 Wed 10-Jun-26 10:44:36

Loved it!

petra Wed 10-Jun-26 09:11:48

It doesn’t have a cult status for nothing.

I adore it. We have watched the whole series 3 times.
I can almost quote it word for word 🥰

Visgir1 Wed 10-Jun-26 08:42:02

I tried it for the first series, Nope didn't think it was funny. Kept hoping it would perk up for me.
So gave up, my DD thought it was brilliant.
