I literally bingewatched for 6 hours on recommendation from my Mum. I'd only intended to watch a single episode and found myself wrapping up S2 at 2.30am!!! Totally enthralled. Talk about emotional rollercoaster, what an absolute masterpiece. Don't mind admitting I was sobbing like a baby more than a few times.
It was really great to read he's done a script already for S3 and that he's going ahead with it, I kinda thought it might wrap at two series like always - but honestly - its ripe for much more. Was such a nice throwback to see Penelope Wilton and Peter Egan from Ever Decreasing Circles again too.
Derek has escaped me thus far - but I hear great things about it, and my Mum loves it - which is usually good enough recommendation for me, so I'm definitely going to watch it before much longer.
Do a bingewatch.
You will not regret it.
You will no doubt repeat the bingewatch many times.
It really is one of my most favourite TV series.
Absolutely wonderful characters.
It will have you crying with laughter and with emotion.
