Title: Series 2 - Episode 1
Description: ...what did you think?
been_already - April 1, 2006 12:41 AM (GMT)
All in all, it was a middling start to the series.
I felt that there were a few funny gags, and a lot of randomness...namely Sue White.
the laugh out loud moments:
The kitten and the gun.
Guy and Nick Frost in the bar "no, I've had your mother
Guy - "I haven't murdered anyone" :D
Caroline's "I need you to harvest my parsley patch" or whatever the line was. Her dialogue for that scene in fact: her reading out the mag "and the bike and i love you and you are the one...55cc engine..."
The uncomfortable, not sure moments:
Martin and Karen kissing
Sue and her litmus test fanny.
Mac's surreal dreams. I'm sorry, but that gay wrestling thing with Guy was just...worrying :unsure:
Mac/Caroline lost! :cry
I don't want to see the return of Lady Emily! :(

Aw I thought last night's show was brilliant!!
The opening scene had me in stitches!! And then.. NICK FROST!!
Could the show be any better? :D

I liked the dead hamster moment and having to take a ticket in order to visit Mac.
Um not sure about the "dream sequences" and then the dead daddy long legs scene was probably a bit too long. And I'm very worried that Sue White has actually managed to marry Mac (did she have witnesses :unsure: ) and as for inpregnating herself :angry:
But I loved it :)

I know I have no right to offer my opinion on here - I've been shockingly inactive :blush but I'm gonna go ahead and do it anyway.
I agree that it was middling as far as episodes go. If I was a first time viewer I wouldn't be falling over myself to watch it again (although Julian Rhind Tutt in a silver suit and his 'oh f*ck I've killed a doctor' would be tempting :P ) but then again I didn't really think much of the first episode of Season One either...

I was out last night (horrific, I know) but I taped it and watched it this morning. I was absolutely terrified that it was going to be awful from reviews, but it wasn't as bad as I imagined. the Mac/Guy dream scene was a bit too much but the other scene with the Mac boyband was really funny.
I think we could have done without the scene with Sue impregnating herself as well. But, it was ok. Hopefully it will get better as the series goes on.
"pah! pah pah! pah pah pah!"

hehe I loved it :) apart from being a bit worried when he was in a coma :unsure:
heehee :wub:
snoopybing - April 2, 2006 01:12 PM (GMT)
You know the face that sue makes when she's talking to Caroline about her 'ol' sideways smile'? Well is it just me or has anyone else been practicing that in the mirror? :blush
I think I'm getting quite good at it actually... :rude
xjessx - April 2, 2006 04:10 PM (GMT)

Episode one is repeated again tonight on More4 at 9.00 pm, for any insane person who's managed to miss it :rolleyes:

loved everything about it especially the randomness that is sue,not sure about the her -mac-wedding-sperm thing bit odd.But the rest of it-pure class.
Love the kitten gun scene and Caroline reading to mac
'I want you to trim my parsley patch' :lol:
The dream squences were brill apart from the mac/want you back for good one -didn't like that.
Why is it that, if possible mac looks even more lovely in a coma than out of one? :drool :wub:
azuresoul - April 2, 2006 11:39 PM (GMT)
hehe sleeping beauty...
i found the "take that" boyband piss take quite funny though... cos i find sum boybands really pathetic and cloned so it made me laugh anyway...
i laughed at all the things that they did to mac when he was in a coma....
but nooo.... they cant use all that will-they-wont-they thing with caroline and mac if they are just going to ruin it all with mac's amnesia... i hope emmy doesnt take him back, and if she does (although its totally understandable!!! ;D) then thats a bit weird cos it was her that threw the beer on macs head... o well...
mac and caroline would be so good together...
Holly - April 3, 2006 12:02 PM (GMT)
THey would they would!
I laughed so much when she was licking his face! How'd he keep a straight face? :blink:
azuresoul - April 3, 2006 07:25 PM (GMT)
yeah... would anyone like to watch the hours of outtakes!!??
apparently wen JRT and Tamsin wer doing the kissing scene in the bathroom at the first series, he kept laughin in her mouth so they had to take it again and again heh...
hu else would want to mess up a scene like that.... *laughs* o dear, we're gonna have to do that one again... shame...
so i have no idea how he managed to keep a straight face in that!
Holly - April 3, 2006 07:44 PM (GMT)
I read that too, god her job must be hard...what i have to kiss him AGAIN? poor cow! lol :lol:

*martin style idea, not involving going to switzerland*: set back all the clocks and relive everything EXACTLY that she said and did heh.
chloe - April 5, 2006 10:34 PM (GMT)
Erg... had to stick my oar in sorry
I think it was actually "I want you to do some gardening in my parsley patch"
:blush hehe
But it was great, of course.. :)

That was definitely one of my faves.

PigRescuer - September 3, 2006 06:43 PM (GMT)
I'm so jealous of yuo Stacey, getting to watch them all now.
I'm awaiting yuor reaction of pigrescuing.
what episode is that? 5?
Little_Simba - September 3, 2006 08:34 PM (GMT)
*thinks* Um, yes, I think it is.
BTW, the Take That take-off was my fave coma dream.
xpingux - September 3, 2006 08:44 PM (GMT)
The Sparks one made me laugh, I watched a video of Sparks performing and Julian was doing the same movements and things with his hands like the lead singer does & Alan ahaha
The Take That song must have taken Julian ages, dressing up in diffo outfits and re-doing the same routine.
poo on a plate - September 3, 2006 10:06 PM (GMT)
Alan is genius in the Sparks piss take. Sooo fecking funny.
