Just seen the trailer for a new series of Boomers, starting on Friday. Great cast, gentle humour, easy viewing, perfect for a Friday evening in the van! Happy

    I was just catching up with the Saturday Western Morning News today and there was an interview with Alison Steadman. It was quite funny about the actors going on to the set complaining about aches and pains and bad backs but the director doesn't want them
    to mention this in the series!Happy

    A very good show it seems very true to life. The christmas special was very good so looking forward to the new series I read that one of the new episodes will be centred around a camping trip so that should be a laugh.

    Obviously the Caravan Club edition!!! At least it seemed as though whoever wrote the script had a pretty good insight into our hobby.

    I caught up with it on iplayer, it's very funny and a bit near the mark...the "cult of caravanning" is the theme!Wink

    I thought the blokes were easy to match up with certain CTers ( but more than my club subscription's worth to name names! Wink).

    Not so sure about the ladies though!! Laughing

    I watched and laughed out loud at this, and thought how uncomfortably close it came close to real life, if indeed this forum does really represent it, the petty things that folks get vexxed about.

    Watched half of the first one, so far so good.  As  Moulesy suggests I can imagine some of the blokes as CTersWinkSurprised

    What a load of codswollop should have guessed that it would appeal to the likes of most CT readers.

    Just watched the caravan site episode.......from the 'Last of the Summer Wine' school of comedy i.e. shouting their lines at each other and exaggerated stereo-types.

    Not my cup of tea, I'm afraid.......Sad

    I thought it would have been right up your street, Ian. Caravans and cycling in one program - what more could you ask?Cool

    I always fancied Pauline Quirke, but when I watched this programme I thought 'blimey, she's looking a bit old'.......just found out she's 4 years younger than me.....Sad
