Does anyone else think Goodnight Sweetheart would be excellent as a Christmas special? I thought tonight's one-off was superb. Series please. Christmas 1962 would be a great setting.

Yes I've just watched it. Didn't realise it was a one off, they must be testing the water before commissioning a new series. Would be great as Christmas special between the two years.

Most definitely. Loved the original series as well.
Young Hyacinth was OK, but pointless. Part of the appeal of Keeping Up Appearances was the fact we didn't know the characters backstory. In my view Are You Being Served? and Goodnight Sweetheart should be commissioned as series'. |

Yes, I loved the original too - and this one off moved seamlessly to a new era without damaging the original. I think it demonstrates how poor today's comedy writers are by comparison.

Young Hyacinth went back too far should have been set after she married Richard and see her bringing up Sheridan |

Probably too late for Goodnight Sweetheart to be a Christmas special for this year so fingers crossed if no series a special next year

Daisy was also a child bride - she married Onslow at a very young age. Yet the prequel seemed to rewrite her history.

When they did First of the Summer Wine, Compo and Clegg knew Seymour, yet when Seymour was introduced into Last of the Summer Wine, the three of them didn't know one another.
The brilliance of her name being "Boadicea" was genius. Yet in her final episode her name was Geraldine followed by those stupid Mary Poppins references. It stopped being funny for me from that point. |

Just looking on twitter and they are going mad for Goodnight Sweetheart, demanding a new series.
The Sun has an article about the viewer's reaction:- https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbi...hit-with-fans/ You never know.

The most annoying continuity error that riles me to this day is the stupidity surrounding Geraldine Graingers name in The Vicar of Dibley.

Have had a letter about my RT subscription today and it tells me to go to buysubscriptions to renew at the fantastic price of £34.99 for 26 issues or if paid by card £43.50
On going to the site it gives me £34.99 for 26 issues BUT £39.99 for card payment BUT even better i can renew for 12 issues at a £1! I wonder which one I should choose which only comes up if i dont give them a renewal quote number |

So if I go for 04/10/2016 that goes up to 20th December normally but obviously the issue dates are all different in December. But that should include the Christmas and New year issues?
![]() Brain not working today. ![]() 04/10 11/10 18/10 25/10 1/11 8/11 15/11 22/11 26/11 - first early edition 01/12 - second early one 06/12 Christmas Double Issue around 24/12 - New year Issue BUT do the RT count the double issue as two copies? if so you will miss the New Year one |
