and if not why not?

I dunno. I just saw 2 mins of it (in between multiple exposures to funeral cortege spectacle) and mused to sister: Has anyone ever watched this? Does anyone even know wot it is?

Context please.

Utterly superb and hilarious comedy drama just finished third series (about family who win the lottery then lose all the money), which like ellie says, no one seems to have watched or talked about...

i saw first ep at t's, we both larfed non-stop (obv), then i tried to turn all i knew onto it, but could NEVAH REMEMBER THE TITLE

w. the grate Amanda Redman as the mom (she wins the money in the first place and doesn't tell the rest of the family because they are all twats, bascially); peter davison is her husband

It is on ITV, right? Unfortunately ITV is usually such unmitigated shite that I never watch it, and in doing so miss the odd diamond I think.

it was; it just finished

yes i think this was another reason no one knew to notice it

The trailers for it were always very offputting. That and the ITV drama stigma (Cold Feet = Cold Sick).

FCUKING HELL MARK! Exactly!!! I watched it for the first time yesterday! The childbirth scene was the best thing EVAH - about to drop the SPROG the lady goes into mad Hawaiian hallucinations, there are lesbians a go-go, a MAD WOMAN abducting people taking them to the moors, someone who accidentally robs a bank whilst drunk - WAS IT LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME?!

it was always very extremely good, though last night was yes ultra-packed with madness

did anyone watch that rubbish bbc policer on mon night, about the murders in the public skewl? i know my threshold for froensic piffle is v.high but BLIMEY this was a how-to in stringing lame cliches together... whatevah happened to john sessions? there he was, character-acting away doggedly...

I watched this Mark but only cos I have a HUGE crush on Nathaniel Parker, he is so dreamy, mmmmm. The story was pants.

No way he is NUMMY and a total hunk. He has lovely dark brooding eyes and a perfect nose (remember I am a nose Nazi).

That is not a good pic of him. He was in Vanity Fair as Rawdon, mmm breeches.

― Emma, Wednesday, 10 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Watched the first series and enjoyed that but the second just got too silly and I had to stop watching it. Also known as the Ally McBeal effect.

I'm confused...does Fab 5 Freddy have some sort of reality show?

I saw an episode of this the other day while I was trying to work, V was watching it. I ended up putting my headphones on super-lod to drown it out, it was just unmitigated shite.

i haven't enjoyed this series anything like as much as the first or the second
