With just minutes remaining until the first episode of the new series, I thought I'd start this thread now in advance for the power surge that will undoubtedably take place at 10.10pm.

The many months of waiting are at an end, and are hopefully going to be paid off. We may even get people hurriedly posting during the adverts, so the purpose of this thread is to discuss Series 2, Episode 1.

I'm going away now but I will be back straight after to jibber incoherently! And then off again to go watch Tamsin on Johnathan Ross.

Yey! Brilliant as ever. Hilarious!

"Daddy" - i officially nominated as funniest scene this episode already, even though the rest is still to come!

(sorry for the other thread btw - was too excited to check for a prior one)

Fecking brilliant all round! *happy dances*

Thought Tamsin stole the show on JR (mind you anything would have looked good after b** Alan Sugar), but she ate JR for breakfast:-)

Funny lady..

Wasn't she fab. And looking gorgeous!

Her impression of her kids were so funny. "No way."

That was lovely wasn't it - sounds like Tamsin 2 is shaping up nicely:-) Yes, she was fab, and I love her big hearty laugh as well.

Bit random but I loved her hair! Wish he'd spent more time chatting with her though.

It was over in a flash! - in contrast to the seeming hours he spent interviewing Sugar, who came across as an utter bore. As it was the beeb, they played up "Love Soup" and only got round to GW in the very last bit, but the time flew..didn't hang around for Ant and Dec

I can't stand Sugar! Why spend so much time talking to such a dull, miserable man when you've got one of the funniest women on telly there! I do like Ant and Dec though...

Missed Tamsin on JR due to having to watch GW at 10.10 cos there was no way I was going to watch with me mother in the room. What did she say and were there any ckues about how sereies 2 wikk develop?

She hardly had time to talk about Green Wing. All she said was a little bit about the premise of the show but series 2 was hardly mentioned, they just showed a clip.

I have a theory that the Nick Frost character is going to turn out to be a reporter sent to find out the dirt about whats been going on regards ambulances going over cliffs etc. His character seemed really sneaky and Guy poured everything out to him. When Guy asked him to keep it off record he was ignored and Boyce seemed a bit suspicious of him.

I thought Boyce asking Nick Frost "who are you?" and Nick Frost saying "a man" was bit of cunning OC-style self-referentiality, because Nick Frost's character clearly is just "a man" - a random character put there to enable Guy to do this exposition of what happened with the ambulance. Usually expositions are there to bring viewers up to speed on what really happened, but as Guy seemed to be making it all up, that's quite clever too.

Errr, I may have been thinking about this far too much.

i think I am also over analysing but I think the Nick Frost character was being deliberately evasive and quite shifty. I think Guy chose to confide in him because he was a stranger. also I think Guys story began fantastically but then became more truthful. Why would he lie about being thrown back into the sea by the first boat and then being nearly raped by the second lot. He was also looking more and more miserable as the conversation progressed.

You may be right - I missed most of that bit because I was laughing too much.

No, no Roq (to the thinking too much comment) - that's exactly what I thought too. 'Cept the OC comment as I've no idea what they do on that.

They were on a cliff - how could they possibly end up so far out to sea? Seemed unbelieveable to me. And whilst his increasing misery could have been due to the story getting close to the truth I though it was because he no longer had control over where the story went.

Hedgie - on the OC the characters are always making throwaway comments about their own role in the show and how the viewers perceive them. So for example, Seth says things like "I see, I'm just here for comic relief", ostensibly as part of the script, but also as a nod to his actual function in the show.

I agree that guy's story is really far fetched but so are a lot of the plots in the show. I just think if he's going to make stuff up would he not make himself sound good?

I don't get how Mac and Martin could have got rescued at all if ones unconscious and the other paralysed? They'd have drowned surely?

i know i'm taking it far too seriously but I just love this show.

eponine, you're in good company here. We have been known to take it all, er, *quite seriously*!

Thinking about it (as opposed to jumping up and down and squeaking a lot, as I was doing last night), there's no way they can actually have gone over the cliff - they'd all have died!

maybe later on mac remembers what happened and we find out then. not quite sure i trust guys version. why would they be portuguese?

God I hope we find out what happened soon. Its doing my head in!

Ditto that. I can't stop speculating! There shouldn't be a strong language warning at the start of GW, there should be a mental health warning. I swear, I'm going to be a jibbering wreck by next Friday!
