Ooooh I caught an advert for this the other day, and then promptly forgot to look it up!!

:lol: Yay, I can't wait!

Michelle? A matriarch?

I've never seen her play anything...not weird. Looking forward to it :)

yay finally! I have been waiting for this since the interview that her and Julian did on jonathan Ross' radio show and she mentioned it

but why on a thursday when everything else is on (including a new series of house) and on the one day i'm out as well <_<

i hope it's not on at the same time as house or I will die!

eee yay can't wait!

i seriously hope that it's on at 8 or 8.30 cause now house is on at 9 and i really hope that FSAA is over soon - no that i don't like it cause i adore it but HOUSE i have to watch house

oh why is it that the only day when decent tv shows are on that they put them all on at the same time <_<

aww bless ya, dont worry i just looked it up on radio times

its on at 10pm and finishes at 12!!

aww thankies for looking it up -is it a one off show then :blink: I thought it may be a series but meh!

oh rubbish I'm out that night anyway so I'll have to record it - vicky do you think you could record it for me at all? if not then I'll try and find another blank video :blink:

yeah it says its a feature length comedy so must be a one off

And advert for this was just on but I .. wasn't looking. :unsure: When it ended I heard the title and said to my sister, "Oh, Michelle Gomez is in that", and she pointed out to me that she'd been in the advert quite a bit.

Okay my mum wasnt lieing in that case!! I googled it and everything like four days ago and nothing!!!!

Shall be tuning and watching Mrs Gomez!

Ooh i'll be in that night. Excellent *rubs hands together in glee*

I saw an ad for it the other day as well and thought, "I'm sure that's Michelle Gomaz I must google it" and promptly forgot :rolleyes:

Finally saw the advert. Was quite distracted by the pretty dresses tbh

There was a really good teaser last night of Michelle shooting someone...I HAVE to see it!

i CAN'T believe it's on the ONE day I go out it's soo irritating <_< sinead do you think you can record it for me - I have kinda run out of videos :blink:

Oh thank god for Sky+. Still it's getting quite full...

Oooooooh, yay! :excited Thanks for the info, Pingu.

Write up in the Radio Times:-

This one-off drama about single women in Edinburgh comes with a major health warning: it is absolutely filthy. A volatile black farce that could scorch the hair off a docker's chest, it is full of weird sex, graphic drugs scenes, fighting, gunplay and some of the worst swearing you'll hear on TV.

But, big, but, it is also very funny and beautifully made. It revolves around a gang of four girlfriends led by hairdresser Amanda (Michelle Gomez from Green Wing), who is busily preparing for her imminent wedding to a Welsh airline pilot. The others have less joy with men. Sharon is conduting a scandalous affair, crack-head ex-model Rhona's boyfriend was killed by a joyrider, and Kelly (Shirley Henderson) is licking ancient wounds.

The script was co-written by Dean Cavanagh and Irvine Welsh, and I feel obliged to describe it as being a kind of female Trainspotting. But that's a good thing, the dialogue is fiercely funny and the strangeness believable. When you learn that the producer's previous work includes The League of Gentlemen and Muphy's Law, it all starts to make sense.

you can order it on amazon

you can :high yayness i just wish i could see it when it's on C4 :cry errrm lets hope i can get someone to record it for me :)
