I've started watching it over the last week. Have to agree that the early episodes are quite boring. I'm on episode 22. Really looking forward to when it heats up a bit and has some of the storyline I remember from a kid.
I don't remember the incest story. Don't think I am looking forward to that
Definitely looking forward to the arrival of the Geordaches (sp?) though!
Tempted to skip the earlier episodes but kinda wanna see it all the way through.

Oooh Zack Dingle. What a sex pest!
I watch via the app and have noticed there's soo many ads!I couldn’t get the latest 5 on sky either, I’ve found it rubbish. Some weeks they are there sometimes they take days. I got them today through the STV app on the tv but you can’t FF the ads
I think I have joined you guys, I watched 5 episodes this morning and I'm up to the most current one.
I enjoyed it, we're still quite far off from my era, as I was only a kid and can only remember 1995 onwards. But with the Farnhams and Johnsons we've got characters I remember.
The second theme tune must be soon, that's the one I remember.

I am watching every episode - and am still finding the Alan Partridge character quite ridiculous.
I felt exactly the same when I watched it first time, around 40 years ago!
Damon’s girlfriend being called Pat. This didn’t seem that odd back then (though Patricia’s that I went to school with - were usually shortened to Trish).
Pat seems such an old name for a teenager

I tuned back in for that couple of weeks. Then it ended in the helicopter crash (on the parade of courseDo you remember the hostage situation that went on? I remember thinking how far fetched that was
). The last big storyline before it lost it's weekday time slots and got dumped on Saturday afternoons.

Did anybody notice Claire Sweeney was in the fifth episode this week?
She was playing a character called Paula, who was the girlfriend of Damon’s mate Mark. Damon got them to babysit his little sister for him whilst he went out

Pretty boring drop this week and I could genuinely ring Chrissie's neck the way she acts in school around Geoff.
Some great comic relief though with the return of Julia and all her friends in need of a haircut...

Keep watching, a few storylines & characters start to emerge in these first 10 episodes.
The picture quality begins to get a bit better too.

Annabelle's affair absolutely thrilled me. Paul's treated her like shit for years. I remember meeting the actress at a local lifeboat day not long before she passed away and she was a lovely lady.

If Madge/Anne Charleston was talking about some young girl wanting to leave Neighbours to start a pop career (Kylie), then that would have been around 1987/88 just before her pop career started, not at the end of Brookie’s run
