Huh? How did you work that out?

That is admirable!

So do I but you can always catch Saturday Takeaway on ITV2 the next day or on ITV I-Player.

On thier barge no doubt

Jealous?

They provided intelligent/interesting feedback....more my kind of people e.g. also being artistic. I wonder if they were on some kind of temporary contract whereby they could pull out if they wanted to? Can't say I'd blame them if that is the case.

sorry,
the chives and the barge thing is a reference to a character in Coronation Street played by Stephanie Beecham - an in joke between me and fayecorgasm.
She was posh and grew her own chives and lived on a barge. The character, not fayecorgasm.
its not very funny when you explain it, but it was funny at the time.






The two blokes under the boobs painting don't appear every week, so maybe the thatched cottage couple won't either.
I like them. I hope they do appear again.

it was on Jeremy vine's radio 2 show the other day

Not at all I was having a laugh with Chita

I thought it was predictable that one of the cast would make that error!

no only 30 were named gary in the last year

Yes Chita was kind enough to explain about your private joke. I remember that character but don't recall her being posh....just an artistic bohemian.

She 'teaches' Nursery age children....




Leon will vote for them, regardless. They are both staunch Labourites....

No there are several hundred thousands people called Gary. What was said was there were only approx 30 people who registered their child as Gary last year

I hope Leon is ok.

Why wouldn't he be? Was there some indication he was ill? He was aired in the labour political broadcast, i.e. Leon approved of Martin Freeman....much to his wife's astonishment! I think he is a likeable guy too but he IS an actor so that sits uncomfortably with the credibility factor.

Loved the Parker and Lady Penelope gag from Dom

Christ I was only saying - it was mentioned earlier that he was ill.

Think it was very observant of the goggle crew to pick up on the absurdity of the guarantee given by Martin Freeman. We know why a actor delivered this message as If Milliband had done it in a years time when he could not deliver there would have to be him on Youtube singing Im sorry im sorry.
Personally I think they must be thinking up a new definition of apprentice from the one people know. Are the new apprentices going to be at Poundland as shelf fillers.
Going to be fun that apprentice wages for trash jobs .
If that's the future Martin Freeman will be directing the new reality film The Desolation of Hope.

Yes he is frequently quite witty, if not somewhat predictable in his kind of humour.

OK I was only asking! Chill

Steph and Dom make the show for me. They are so witty and bawdy and I love their relationship. You can tell that they love each other deeply and that they have a laugh together.

I don't think celebrities and politics should mix and the whole Martin Freeman ad clearly demonstrates this. I don't know about other people, but it's a bit rich to expect millionaire celebrities like Freeman to grasp what the ordinary person's reality is from their ivory tower.

I liked yesterday's episode although I was a bit disappointed that there was no Poldark this week.

ohh right I was only half listening at the time, but it is a dying name it would seem

I thought that was the best episode for a long time I was laughing almost all the way through (I skipped the 1 born bit). The posh couple were brilliant as were the Moffats I don't care what other say I think Scarlett is very funny. Apart from the Sandys the show was really good.

Thank you for your measured and in depth analysis of Friday's episode.
