Mum's back!!

Me too ?. I love all the characters. So nice to have a gentle wry comedy.

Excellent! Look forward to it

Can't wait! Just wish there were more programmes similarly gentle and imaginative. I read that this is the final series

Both DH & I love it. Yes, sadly it's the final series, but perhaps it's best to finish it while it's still good?

Oh good! Thank you for the reminder kitty.

Kitty...Thanks for posting this reminder.
I’ve bought a recorder especially to use for this, one of my favourite programs.
I love the brother (forgotten the actors name)!!

Thank you, love this!

I find the characters very irritating, but at the same time enjoy it! Good to know it is back.

Thanks for the reminder Kitty, love the series. Hope they decide to do more of them.

Oh great; saw an advert but I just thought it was a re run. What with Ghosts and Fleabag there's some great stuff on tv at the moment.

Great. I really love this programme. One of the best comedies on TV. Will definitely be watching.

Great, thanks for that...love mum.

Sorry to disagree with everyone. I watched all the first series, but just didn’t like it. I thought both the son and girlfriend were unlikeable characters, as were the elderly parents and sister-in-law. Poor Lesley Manville seemed so sad and used. Felt so sorry for the neighbour who liked her.
Didn’t watch any of second series, perhaps I would have got into it more.

I saw it was coming back on so watched the first two series again on the i-player. I loved everything about it and I'm sure this series will be as good. Can't believe Lesley Manville is 63!! Only problem is with the theme tune - I can't get it out of my head but that's not really a complaint!!

I don’t really watch tv (I know, I’m sad) but I do hear this mentioned as being very good. If I tune in on Wednesday night will it matter I’ve not watched the two previous series?

I'm with you Calendargirl. I just wanted to give mum a good shaking and tell her not to be such a doormat, such a drippy character, which clearly wasn't the effect the writers wanted.

Not really Urmstongran but you will miss the delightfully developing relationship between Mum and her admirer. (Described thus as have forgotten their names!)

I have just discovered this and binge watched series 1 and 2. I'm delighted there is to be another series and hope her relationship with Michael doesn't go wrong. I just love the way he looks at her, such love.

I do find the constant interruptions, which means no one ever seems to get to the end of a conversation, annoying. That said I think it is wonderful comedy/pathos and spend time thinking about the back story to the characters.

My daughter laughs whenever the old couple are on, she says they are similar to me and the husband. Can't see it myself.

I love this programme. I binged watched the first 2 series on iPlayer too. It is so gentle and the acting is superb. I particularly love the odious partner of Mum's brother. (Pauline?)

I love it too can't wait x

Oh good! Thanks for the info. I must tell hubby...?

Love it but get irritated by doormat behaviour of mum.

I find the main chatacter unbearable. So patronising/passive aggressive. Looks down on everyone around her... but its very watchable for that reason

notanan…...are you talking about Kathy (Leslie Manville)?
Do you really find her patronising or passive aggressive.?
Gosh, that is surprising!
