Motherland

[Wifo1976]

Motherland, one of my favourite comedies, oldest donkey loves it too. We quote lines to each other, 'baba ganoush' is one that crops up a lot for no reason whatsoever

We do this, our favourite is ‘It’s not my house!’ Even my 79 year old dad loves it

I watched the Christmas episode and drunk Meg makes me actually belly laugh - especially when she jumped onto Amanda's outdoor Christmas tree

Is the christmas episode following on from the end of season 3?

 

[Alexaj]

On Netflix it said it was s3 ep1. Unless there's another one? I haven't checked.

I think the Christmas episode came in-between series 2 and 3 so netflix have put it as episode one of series 3

So happy it’s on Netflix now! I have such fond memories of watching this feeding my newborn in the middle of the night!

I love it so much, I watched it before becoming a school mum and now find it even more hilarious now I’m stood at the gates. Wish we had such interesting characters in real life

We definitely have the types from the show at my kids’ school. There are a few Amandas with swishy hair and yoga pants, a couple of lovely Anne types who run the PTA events, and lots of Julias. Plus one token dad who always wears sandals.

It’s really well observed. My kids’ school playground was full of Amandas

Anna Maxwell Martin steals every scene she's in. I mean that in a complimentary way.

I have never had children but, as I mentioned here, I discovered this show from my parents, they both love it as they completely remember exact people from the school gates when I was in primary school

She’s fantastic. Especially as she was filming thus and Line of Duty simultaneously- the characters couldn’t be further apart. Just shows how amazing an actress she is.

Completely agree , ITV obviously didn't realise how privileged they were to have her when they give her that tit show of a drama

Same, and daytime cluster feeding I only discovered it then (last year) but it often had me shaking with laughter trying not to wake the baby. Think I’m going to have to do a rewatch now I’m back to full consciousness

Do you know what’s funny, I did not like her when I first watched it but now I’m a mother I can really appreciate how brilliant she is and that she’s nailed her character perfectly! It makes me laugh how I wear the same sleeping bag coat as her too

Same literally this time last year good times. I’ve rewatched it so many times now but it’s been a few months so I might start again

 

[OhDearFords]

I'm so disappointed, I thought this was a new series! I'm sure I read they were making another one a while ago? I have seen all of these ones new to Netflix Might have to just watch them all again

 

[cococookie]

I don’t know why I’ve only just started watching this! I’ve seen many clips from the show over the years but I finally watched series 1 over the weekend (yes I’m very behind) and I love it

I've said it before, but it really was never promoted that much at all!

I saw on Tiktok...someone took some photos of 'Julia' and 'Amanda' filming at night in the middle of a road with Amanda's Range Rover. Apparently for a Xmas special for this year! I so hope this is true....
