Wow. I just watched it twice. Back to back. All the emotions were perfect and then there was the outright sillyness and it was all mixed together and...and...*falls over*

I loved the Take That bit too, but on balance the whole conversation between Guy and Nick Frost was the funniest for me.

"Who are you?" "A man."

Indeed, yes. "You f*cked your mother too?" "No, I f*cked your mother too."

I think my favourite bit was the invisible string across the office. And the Johnny Depp line. And Tamsin was brilliant throughout. As were they all.

Is there a BAFTA available for 'best straight face'? So many contenders: Boyce, Martin and Karen and of course, Mac.

Also thought what immense effort went into some of those dream sequences for mere seconds of screen time. Magical seconds mind you.

I've been very tense about it but am now much relieved - as was Mac! Talking of that scene, did anyone else think what I thought?

that it was entirely wrong and very much sick? yes

i think mr rhind-tutt did very well staying so still for that episode. having tamsin greig lie on you, and then having her lick your face can't be easy for any man

*That* scene?

I don't know what you thought, cello, but I thought "I cannot believe I'm actually seeing this".

That was the line I've been trying to remember:

"Fancy another?"

"Another pop on the old Clore?"

"Another drink."

Very sick indeed! But what about Caroline lying on top of him and putting his hand on her arse? Now how many of us wouldn't do that?

Guy sort of explains that Mac hit his head (on a WW2 mine) while swimming out of the ambulance, but then he started talking about wrapping his dressing gown round his head like Johnny Depp in POTC and I was laughing too much to listen properly.

Surely that was a lie though! He did tell NF not to tell anyone when he found out Mac was awake.

I guess we'll find out next week, maybe. Nick Frost was great!

Ah, the lines!

'Have you got to the good bit'
'The bit where he sleeps with his mother?'

'Your.. flies...'
'Yes, I guess they're undone. that's quite normal for the time of year.'

'Please wake up. I want you to do some gardening in my arsely patch.'

'what I did was, I took off my dressing gown and I wrapped it around my head like I was in pPirates of the Carribbean.'

Drunk typing "makes already-quite-rude line even ruder" shocker!

Heh! Oh dear. How embarrassing! There I thought I was mostly sober again...
That should have been parsley btw. Ahem.

Sure it should've.

BUT... i missed the first 5mins doe to a stupid phone call

Me too! Do you think my friend not getting off the phone before 9pm is grounds for friend-divorce?

Not divorce, just hit them with a pointer and spit a matchbox with a dead daddy longlegs in it at them.

Hmmmmmmmm - interesting idea. Anyone know where I can buy a pointer

I can't really complain - hubby has just come in from work and I taped it for him so i'll just watch the beginning...

I guess Alan got a new pointer! After the last one was ruined by a "little star of Bethlehem."

Ok, drunk and insomniacy (what? It could be a word). May watch episode again.

recycle a car aerial ,

Thats made me laugh as much as GW :-)

Talking of that scene, did anyone else think what I thought?[/QUOTE]
First time round I thought "Going a bit far, part of the frisson in the first series was that Sue never did quite get her hands on Mac. And any semblance of taste went quite out the window"

Second time round I'd had another couple of glasses and thought "That's funny"

Glad I didn't let my mother watch it!

I know what you mean but it kind of made sense. After all, Mac's always been able to escape somehow. This time, there was no fighting back!

How long before Alan and Joanna get back together again? I did miss the subplot - not quite the same having them at each others throat. And I wonder how many takes it took before Alan caught the matchbox..like Joanna with the doughnuts in series 1, you just think - "thats so clever"

****Possible Spoiler*****

Isn't Joanna going to sleep with her therapist? Or try to? Or something. And Alan can't have sex for some reason.

Thats a point - we haven't seen the gorgeous Lyndon this week, maybe he's moved on. Anyway, delighted that the new series has kicked off to such a good start, but time to log off...hope all forum fans are happy with tonights episode - can't wait for next week now!

Yes, need to try and get some sleep, I have work tomorrow and am going to be horribly hungover. If I get any sleep that is. Too hyped up now.

Hope everyone liked it! Night night. xx

Reguarding *that* scene, i was too busy p*ssing myself laughing to be offended, as was i in the sue/helium scene (P*ssing myself laughing)

On the way back from the shops just now it occurred to me that the whole of this first episode was itself like a dream sequence of what a new episode of Green Wing might be like.

Does that make any sense?
