Ann Droid, anyone watched this? BBC 1

Having read this thread I decided to give it a go and I'm really enjoying it. Thanks for the heads up!

Just seen an advert for a robot pet called a Moflin that looks like a Guinea pig and reacts to your mood. Think if I couldn’t have a dog or a cat I’d be tempted to get one…

Oh I loved this. Such a gentle program with some great characters. Hope there will be a other series.😊

Thought it very funny and brilliantly acted by the cast
Already looking forward to the next series👍🏻

Saw the last episode tonight. So sorry it's over. Great acting all round of an excellent and unusual script.

I have watched it this evening. It's rather good and funny/poignant. The characters are hilarious. Stereotypes but none the worst for that.
Sue Johnson is perfect.
Thanks for pointing it out.

After reading all the reviews I decided to give it a go. This has to be one of the most unfunny programmes I have ever watched. I can't believe the wonderful Sue Johnstone would associate with this. Each to their own but I like my comedies funny like Only Fools, Porridge, Are you being Served, George and Mildred, The Good Life, Car Share or poignant like The Royle Family, Butterflies, This Country and the Detectorists. This was neither, it was just drivel. I am happy people are enjoying it but I won't bother with a second episode.

Saw the finale yesterday evening.
Each to their own.
I loved it.

Bukkie persevere. It's much more than just 'funny'. The poignancy may be too subtle for you?

I didn’t think this was going to be “my thing” but I loved it - not much makes me laugh out loud these days! Very sorry when it ended.

Agree. I tried 3 times.

I loved it, especially the final episode, which was a thoroughly satisfactory conclusion.

Aveline, that's actually a rude comment. I could see the poignant moments but because the rest was so dreadful they didn't commensate. The Royle Family, The Detectorists, This Country, The Office, Only Fools are all beautifully written and poignant. I have cried at all of them aswell as laughed. With this I just spent the episode thinking why has such an accomplished actress as Sue Johnstone agreed to this awful programme.

Same here.

I caught up with the final 3 episodes last night, which I had missed. I am with the majority of viewers who enjoyed it, although there were some cringe worthy moments. I think Sue Johnston and the rest of the cast agreed to do it as they could appreciate the quality of the writing. I can understand why some people didn't think it was funny, but we're all different, so one programme can't please everyone. Diane Morgan is a great writer and actress.

I have just YouTube'd it. The preview. Won't be watching any more!

I much prefer Star Trek's Data! And RoboPets!

No point in only looking at the preview. Watch it all

I think I’m alone in not finding it funny at all.

But its not meant to be just 'funny'.

We like Diane Morgan in this house, however, although we laughed aloud a few times, this isn't one of her best

But its not meant to be just 'funny'.

Absolutely.

Am waiting for my next social gathering to break the ice with a stranger with small talk and asking ‘how much do you weigh?’😁

Greyduster

I didn’t think this was going to be “my thing” but I loved it - not much makes me laugh out loud these days! Very sorry when it ended.

Greyduster my husband has been laughing out loud as well!
It's one programme we can both enjoy together, usually we have very different tastes.

Still persevering with this and I am up to episode 4. Smiled a couple of times, sighed a couple of times at heartfelt moments but yet to laugh at anything.

Oh dear Bukkie obviously a different sense of chuckles to most of us on here
Like Grey-duster I was very sceptical at first and was sure it wasn’t for me . but after episode 1 I loved it and thought it was so clever and so humorous I was really chuckling and I so want an AnnDroid myself
