Does anyone off of this here parish watch it?
I must say, after two series of the thing passing me by, I've become a huge fan, not for the quality of acting or glamour, but purely because of the ludicrousness of it all and the deliberate hamming up. Last nights was just a taster as the possibilities next week include an obsessive compulsive ticking timebomb setting fire to his wife's clothes in a bin, a stalking babysitter character who was raped on a club outing in Spain returning with a new hairdo (the oldest disguise in the book) and a baby possibly being smothered by a dog that looked like Willie from Eastenders. Own up, who else watches this? |

Gaah, I missed this last night but I'll be hooked from next week. I watched it avidly last series. It was brilliant, especially the red-haired lesbian agent (I'm sorry, I've forgetten everyone's names in the hiatus) and the footballer falling in love with the captain and getting graphically exposed at the party.

Phew. Thought I'd outed myself as a loser then. There was so much that I'd forgotten from the last series that I was laughing out loud as myself and some chums watched last night. I'd forgotten Frank (old bloke who was married to Tanya) putting holes in the condoms they used so that when he died she'd be pregnant and I'd forgotten Gary Lucy's character turning to bare knuckle fighting to pay off his debts. Red-haired lesbian agent = Hazel (I think)...... |

Hazel! That's it.
Do you know what I loved most of all? Tanya's scary vibrating snake eyes. She just couldn't keep her eyeballs still in close ups and it made her look like a demon. I don't know if it was a character decision or if Zoe Lucker has some sort of horrific ocular disorder but either way, it's aces. |

I don't know if it was a character decision or if Zoe Lucker has some sort of horrific ocular disorder but either way, it's aces. Tanya has the best eyes ever, possibly in the whole world. Not because they're dead nice or anything, but because they vibrate. That was my favourite bit in the whole of the last series when Frank died and she was stood there with her eyes looking like they were going to fall out and roll under the bed. I've also just found this which should clue you up on last night. it's pretty comprehensive, but not as glamourous as watching it. |

My god, they packed a lot into that episode. And who'd have thought a small yapper-type dog could smother a baby? He won't be getting any Caesar tonight.

You're not wrong. Although, with it being a pug (at least I think it was), Krishna had the face of dog that looked sorry he'd smothered the baby, even if in his head he was glad he'd done it. Almost the perfect crime. Except for the fact he was found sat on the baby. |

Myself and some chums have a thing called "lads night" where we drink cans of lager and talk about manly things like whittling and tinkering under the bonnet of a car before watching Footballers Wives. The "lads night" ethos spills over into Bad Girls when Footballers Wives finishes. It's the new rock and roll. Or something..... |

Would it be considered a comedy? I've only seen one episode but it seems so over-the-top that it can't be taken seriously.
