I thought this week's was definitely funnier that last week but it lacked enough Jack and Victor. I do like Bobby and Navid though and the job swap was fun. Last week's was the worst of the 4 for me. I nearly gave up until I saw both your posts.
Overall though, I wonder if they're running out of story ideas for the show. I do hope not.

Back to near its best last night. Best episode this series. Everybody had something to do and the bit in the park was fantastic. Winston bursting open the bag.  |

I thought last night's episode was a vast improvement on last week's crap. Their biggest mistake has been pandering to the English. Accents toned down, speaking slowly....bollocks to that. If some fanny from Hampshire doesn't understand it, tough shit. Some good moments, but nowhere near as good as it used to be. To the Manor Born had subtitles in Scotland. |

Saved the best till last. The booby trap whisky bottle of pish left by Jack for Winston and Tam to find. |

Last night's episode was good, but it lacked that extra something that would have made it a classic - perhaps even the best - episode. Maybe a montage scene of everyone packing up their stuff, looking about their flat for the last time?
The care home stuff and air-raid sirens would have resonated with a lot of older viewers I suspect, and was well done.
Tower block should have come down. Winston getting out and complaining he lost his leg along with the others saying a part of them went with it too would have been better than the cosy ending. Perhaps they wanted to end on that note?
Overall, a below average series. The episodes with Methadone Mick and Fergie were abysmal. So much stuff poorly executed throughout.
Still an Xmas special to come, but think they should leave it there.

I enjoyed last night's ep. Loved Navid standing up at the meeting. And whisky pish. And the fact that their block didn't come down after all. I guess having not written it for quite a while, it took them time to get back into a creative rhythm.

I thought the last episode was garbage. Time to chuck it, guys. Nah, that was the funniest one! Tam abandoning Winston under the sofa! Funny as feck. |

Dear me, that series was brutal. Why did they turn the best character (Winston) into such a complete Ive? As for that final episode, I know it's only a comedy, but pretending to demolish a tower block with all the windows, cladding and asbestos still intact? At one time, at least the serious was believable and had a good mixture of comedy and pathos, even if the continuity was always shot to buggery. I agree, time to quit.
