Very fun first episode of the new series!
Jim highlight as usual...Milson...lol

Harry Palmr

Yep like it was never away, that said the boys seem to have grown up they didn't sabotage each others glass of water once!

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Jim is amazing. I haven't always appreciated him enough as a character and in some episodes felt like they didn't really know what to do with him, but his involvement last night was pitch perfect.

I hadn't realised that. I follow Tom Rosenthal and Robert Popper on twitter and hadn't seen it mentioned. Just went back and had a look at their tweets. Neither said anything about it despite tweeting around that time but not that day. Popper posted a condolence the following day for musician Andrew weatherall. 3 days later they were paying about working on series 6.

Seems odd.

I didn't know Tom Rosenthal was Jim's son, or that he's done a, ehhh, stand-up show about his penis :eek:

Didn't enjoy that episode at all, a real drop in quality

"Jibby" is beyond annoying, it's like she knows one (bad) accent

The show has been mainly poor for the last couple of seasons, its watchable but not very funny.

Gotta agree.. season 2 was the last one I genuinely enjoyed.

It's watchable and gets a laugh once or twice an episode but it's definitely far from it's prime.

I know a lot of people didn't like last week's episode, I still thought it was fun, this week was a big improvement, back to basics. Horrible grandma!

Jim has become a parody of himself this season. He is in no way at all humurous.

Guy:Incognito

The killing off of horrible grandma and then just saw Tom Rosenthal tweet pictures with her reminded me that there still doesnt seem to be any acknowledgment of the real life death of nice grandma that i could see. Bizarre.

Robert Popper paid tribute to her after her death..

.. and the series was filmed before her death. So potentially an "In Memory Of.." before series end.

Tonight's episode was one of the best in a long while. Martin banging on the cage was hilarious

Basq

Yeah, was definitely the best in a long time.

Agree defo the best episode this season haha I love Aunt val

CassieManson

Yes last night was great.

Harry Palmr

Another thumbs up. Jim eating the Jewish rice pudding was tasty. Val is both hot and not at the same time.

Lisha

Loved it. Watched it tonight with my 10&12 year old. They love it and if it’s bad parenting, in these horrible times, I don’t care. I’ll take the laughs where ever we get them.

This is completely irrelevant but I can't tell if she has a wig or not. I thought she did but last night's show made her hair look real.

Jim eating the rice pudding, trying not to puke and going shalom at the same time was the highlight of the series so far. Genuinely hilarious, Mark Heap is brilliant in this.

Was a very good final episode. Hopefully it will come back for a special of some kind

gmisk

Loved the last episode....loved seeing "the Lucy"

gmisk

I personally would love more episodes... fingers crossed

Harry Palmr

Slightly ho hum for me, Martin as ever the real star esp his fantastically offkey attempts to talk to the girlfriends!
