I kept expecting her to wake upI felt the key event, what made Julia sad, was totally random? I was waiting for the joke that it wasn’t true. Usually love it but at best made me smile a few times at the funniest bits.
Killed 30 mins lol

My husband kept saying thatI kept expecting her to wake up
I know it’s not real life but the way they were all acting after the death of their best friends mother, it came across like it was a big mistake and she was just asleepI kept expecting her to wake up
Same. So random. And everyone was kept jumping when they walked in the room. Wth was going onI kept expecting her to wake up
And then partying away at Anne’s after consoling Julia in the streetThought it was disappointing. Kept expecting the mum to wake up. They kinda lined it up to happen the way they were all jumping.
Also thought it was bad taste to have Amanda downing the booze and then driving back.
I still haven’t watched it but your post has left me feeling a bit more hopeful . Thanks and Merry ChristmasAfter reading all your comments on how it wasn't great, I wasn't expecting much but actually I quite liked it. I laughed and I cried. Was it as good as the other Christmas special? No, but I still enjoyed it. Maybe because I wasn't expecting much I enjoyed it more than I would have done had I not heard what it was like? My mum enjoyed it too
yeah your right if they just had some general xmas duties and the hilarity of the humdrum .. I think 30 min with each character firing on all cylinders showing their traits was tricky. Ive re watched it and really do like it second time.Good point about the kids breaking up from school and then it was Christmas. I think they should have had maybe them doing the food shop (julia all stressed and Liz not bothered and just buying a box of Quality St, a bottle of wine and some sausage rolls) or something and then go onto Christmas day.
I definitely think it should have been an hour, it was all too much crammed in to 30 minutesyeah your right if they just had some general xmas duties and the hilarity of the humdrum ..

Also saw on mumsnet a link between how amanda fancies the dad that look just like kevin in season 1 swimming party episode there is definitely legs in a kev and amanda fling story especially after her slow redemption from being a total witch after seeing her mum clearly!
