I think this is really disappointing.
Me too ............i think my expectations were too high. If it had been sold under a different title I might have enjoyed it more.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ..............if you want a bit of time out from the kids just put something involving sex on the telly!

It is Pengy. I don`t know if you saw the original..it was brilliant. The new version isn`t the same, nothing really compares with any originals but I think it`s great. Trevor Eve is superb. I hope you enjoy it. Reference:

Why do I feel oh so ancient now 
I've just googled it, my other post was wrong, I wasn't too young at the time...it was the year I was born.

So Leccs, you were still too young
you wouldn't have been able to watch the telly at that age. You would've been sleeping and feeding most of the time

OMG!!! I thought you were much older (no offence meant).
It entertained us and we are probably the most elderly on this thread. Nothing wrong with updating old stories.

I thought I was younger when this was on but I was 10 when it was shown Frank Finlay is why I remember seeing it

Probably not but ............the whole pregnancy - getting married etc. I t doesn't really happen now and it kind of lost a lot of relevance.I wasn't impressed TBH.
I suppose it's the event! The tellybox is particularly uninspiring during summer and we always wait for the point where autumn fair begins. After the false dawn of "the deep" and "u be dead!" maybe this is the one.

None taken, on Ch4 everyone always thought I was a bloke. Plus I had my kids dead young so that throws people a bit.
Having seen the original (thanks to my mum and dad going out every week with their mates), I was hoping it would be set in the same era again.
No where near as shocking when it's set in the present day, is it?
