Friday Night Dinner

[Vanillaco]

I think Jackie definitely would have been OK with non-Jewish DILs. I’m not sure she would have been OK with her sons knocking up their girlfriends a) without a wedding and b) before she’d even MET them It just seemed so out of character to see her go “Oh OK then!” instead of slapping the boys around the head, etc

I think they're meant to be quite liberal. Agree it's a bit odd that she was so pleased that they'd both got their new girlfriends pregnant without even meeting Jackie but a family row probably wouldn't have suited the episode

watching the first series on 4music much more realistic then the last series.

Not sure if it was the bad writing but the 2 girls playing the lucies were really annoying and bad actresses. Whole thing made me cringe.

 

[Sogdhitalley]

The Lucies really wasn't what I imagined the boys would end up with.

I’m rewatching on Netflix and I’ve been laughing so much, and after reading here I’ve realised I didn’t laugh as much when watchin the last series.

When we first watched it, it was will from inbetweeners.
After googling Tom and seein who his dad is I, I can see it now lol loved him in plebs too! He is the better lookin brother!

I’ve watched all the series again. They must have a big disposable income lol the amount of stuff they buy..... the carpet cleaner man, the lift van (bag in the tree) meals out after cookin a meal.

They never seem to finish a meal lol

They never seem to finish a meal lol

Isn't that the running joke of the entire show? And that the bread never gets touched

Yep it does look nice

Ok I should have said "the bread never gets eaten", not never gets touched.

Awful news.

 

[narcosaurus rex]

Really shocked and sad to hear the news. He was the funniest character. I wonder if FND will continue? I don't think it can without him.

Unless the show massively changes, to Jackie being the annoying mother-in-law, or something.

The show wrapped up with the last series, so it wasn’t going to continue anyway.

Absolutely awful news.

Absolutely awful news.

I wouldn't have minded a one-off Christmas special a few years down the line of them going for Christmas dinner with the children and females. But now I don't want it, it wouldn't be any good without Martin.

 

[FoksiOska]

Such awful news and no age. Martin and his sayings were my favourite part of the show.
He was fantastic in Chernobyl too if anyone watched that.
May he enjoy endless crimble crumble

Yes awful news. He was far too young. He really made Friday night dinner.

 

[tinkertailorsoldierspy]

Very sad news. He was my favourite character in Friday night dinner and was amazing in Chernobyl. No age either. RIP Martin x

 

[octomomaintme]

Extremely sad news. Me & the husband absolutely love FND, I’m glad it ended when it did because it wouldn’t be the same without Martin. May he rest in peace x shalom x

 

[Freedomofspeech89]

This has actually really upset me today. I literally rewatched Friday night dinner the whole way through lockdown to cheer me up. He was such a great actor and brilliant comic actor! Xx

 

[~vix~83~]

So sad, I’ve recently just re watched. It won’t be the same without Martin.
He can eat his nice bit squirrel In peace now!

tit on it!
