BritComs : Friday Night Dinner

Friday Night Dinner

Well worth catching the new run on Channel4 on Friday night at 10pm, or both the previous series on 4OD for anybody who's not seen it.

Funniest thing on telly for a long time. Brilliant

Any other fans out there?



You might well think that. I couldn't possibly comment

Re: Friday Night Dinner

I only found this show a few weeks ago and am catching up on past episodes. Highly recommend to all of my friends.

Re: Friday Night Dinner

I didn't realise there were 2 previous series, so had a FND marathon earlier this week.

Not a classic episode last night, but still good.





Wilson!

Re: Friday Night Dinner

Hi Harbs,

I saw some episodes of the earlier series on TV here at one point. Very good!

Excellent!

The series finale on Friday. Mr Morris makes a welcome return to (attempt to) marry Grandma.

Re: Friday Night Dinner

I tried to like it and it has its moments, but in the end it's too rude and crazy to be realistic for me.

We can't be lost; we don't know where we're going.
All that matters is that we're going.

Re: Friday Night Dinner

That was my problem too. I don't mind rudeness but how many families do you actually know who behave like that, especially the way the sons talk to their parents?

Re: Friday Night Dinner

Maybe that's the way some people would want us to behave... Let's not underestimate the propaganda power of television...

We can't be lost; we don't know where we're going.

Re: Friday Night Dinner

Without trying to go all Mary Whitehouse I think you could be right. I have nothing against swearing or violence in certain dramatic contexts, but in a family sitcom it all seems a bit PC, like "Look at these Jewish parents who aren't religious and let their kids insult them, how modern and enlightened they are!"

Sorry for ranting about just a comedy!

Re: Friday Night Dinner

I actually fell in love with UK shows with this one ( and Inside nº9 ) Loved it! trying to keep up to date with UK shows, but its not easy...

Re: Friday Night Dinner

I recently saw the first 2 episodes of series-1 but didn't really find it funny enough. Does it get better?

uh, what do I know ?!?

Re: Friday Night Dinner

I would say yes, Joel, but I liked the first series. Perhaps it's not your cup of tea?
