    Was a bit surprised but I am looking forward to it. 

    I think you are about right with the kids ages, but Nessa and Smithy will also have a second won't they? Pretty sure she was pregnant in the final scenes.

    Being fat, loud, Welsh, wet, mockney, promiscuous, or any combination of the 6 does not funny make, for that you need script, direction, novelty.  All lacking.
    Loss offensive than Friends, less annoying than Mrs Brown.  They can have that for the poster.
    Another 30 minutes of the "festive" schedule to be missed

    I nearly cried with joy when I saw the announcement, not sure what has happened this weekend but everything is turning to gold! Just need Farage to drive his car off a cliff when taking Piers Morgan to Dover now!

    Pal of mine was an Extra on Stella. The lady playing the lead role was difficult to work with. Won't replicate exact language used but she was less than complimentary...

    Love the show, have grown to hate Corden since though. Hope they do the original justice, I fear they won’t.

    Xmas specials 10 years down the line are always a disappointment. John Cleese knew when to call it a day & G&S should have done so too.

    A very good point. A lot of people, me included will say, why didn't they make more Fawlty Towers? And the answer is just what you have said, John Cleese knew it was as good as it could ever be and would only go downhill from the point it stopped. It would still have been good, but not great.

    I always thought Not Going Out was a good comedy, but its latest run is verging on embaressing. You watch it and you can see Lee Mack writing it. All the characters are Lee Mack! I like Lee Mack, but the show is so tired.

    He was on Graham Norton last Friday & said they've just been signed up for another THREE series. He writes then with a friend & plots are often incidents from real life.

    Lee Mack is a genius in stand-up and as a panellist on quiz shows, but Not Going Out is embarrassing

    I agree - I have seen him live and he is brilliant. And Not Going Out was very good - the point is it has gone past its sell by date.
