Oooooo. Lovely.
I hated that programme when I was small. Everything about it made me uncomfortable.
New version is ace though aP.
Can’t wait.
Last years was wonderful and Mackenzie Crook is a genius.
No one else in the house is interested though so I shall watch it alone.
There’s something about the way he writes that perfectly captures Englishness as I see it.
So a general thumbs up for it then?
My two (10 & 8) can't wait so a definite thumbs up here.
Yay - thanks.
Last year's two episodes were genius - and lovely 🙂
Oh - I assumed this was an announcement of a press conference with Johnson !
Great PSA. Just phoned to tell Dad (who, like many others, I won't be seeing this Christmas) as it was a lovely childhood programme. He wasn't aware either so we'll be watching it 'together'. Thank you 🙂
I sooo wanted to like last year’s Christmas Special but found episode 1 totally dull and unengaging. Watched it twice to see if I was missing something but no, still bored.
Seems a rather anti-STW view as everyone here loved it.
For this who don’t follow the Unthanks who do the music for this, they announced that there’s three more next year:
“Last Christmas, the music from the first two episodes was made available to stream, but this time, the music will not be available until next Christmas, when a further 3 episodes will complete the 6 part series”
It's grrrreat 😁
What is an FG? The children say they're used to talking to FGs when they first meet saucy Nancy.
Looked more like Woke Gummidge to me.
Effigy not FG...
I really like this; having missed it when it first appeared I watched the first two after discovering the Unthanks and hearing their music for it.
I like the gentle, bucolic ‘English’ setting and the mix of light humour and mysticism to the storylines.
That was beautiful
Hurray for the PSA. That was a really sweet piece of telly.
@mattbee that makes more sense.
Yep, that were great that was...some sweet gravel tracks too!
Really enjoyed that, as with the others. Good to hear there are more on the way. Had to chuckle when I saw who was playing Nancy. 😀
The beach was cuckmere haven, just downriver from Friston Forest which has some good trails. Lovely bit of England that area.
That was a great hour of telly.
Joe I feel very sad for you.
Looking forward to watching this new one when we get a chance, we loved the last ones. Sparrows are now officially called spadgers in this household, much better name.
some sweet gravel tracks too!
That’s exactly what went through my mind as I was watching it. Great bit of TV just like the previous two episodes. Looking forward to Zog with the kids tomorrow

My g/f asked the same thing! I had to gently point out it’s effigy...
Recorded it earlier, watching it now, just got to the bit in the pub.
That, was bloody lovely! I think the air was still a bit dusty from having the central heating sorted out, or something.
Great seeing Becky and Rachel singing at the end. I’ve kept the recording, going to watch it again.

No one cares.
That was the most English thing you’ll see on TV this year… brought a tear to my eye at the end.

I’ve been wondering how that interpretation was arrived at, ‘cos I’m struggling here.
Thanks to this PSA I downloaded last year's and just watched them while fighting off the food coma.
We loved it, saving this year's for tomorrow.
Thanks
The pub scene had a strong resemblance to the pub by Black Lake in the Old Gregg episode of the Mighty Boosh
Woke Gummidge! What a ridiculously gammon thing to say. Is it coz it had non white kids as the central characters?
Watched it and really enjoyed it. Didnt realise there were episodes last year though.
I like the idea on that there social media thing of a Detectorists crossover ... Lance and Andy detecting through Worzel’s field or being at the bar in the pub.

Have a large 
Woke brought to you by the same emotional cripples that use snowflake.
Total drivel - my opinion but I appreciate others loved it for some reason
Yup, we love it here. Looking forward to the next ones. There's a mystical vibe Crook has hit on with both this and Detectorists. Reminds me of Harrison/Summer in Mint Sauce for some reason.
Glad so many liked it - I never got it as a kid and still don't get it now, but they obviously found the right way to reboot it without offending the original fans
He hasn't swapped his head yet...I'm still waiting for that, but otherwise, I think it is brilliant and excellently done. Enjoyed all 3 episodes but a bit disappointed that this year only had 1 episode.
A second episode was planned but cancelled due to Covid.

A guess, but did COVID stop any filming this summer?
Quite poignant, as Saucy Nancy was Barbara Windsor's character.

There’s six episodes planned, two last year, one this, and three next year, so I guess they just shelved filming of EP.4 until next year and do the second three all together.
I’d like to think they could do another batch of six to follow on from these...

Such a long time ago, I’d forgotten she was in it! The characters speech in this one may be a nod to Babs as a tribute, the actress is actually Scottish!
