Moopy asked for it, so LET'S DO IT. I'm not entirely sure how it's going to work, other than us all sitting here typing the same quotes simultaneously, but we'll start with the first three episodes of series one and see. All the series are available in the UK on both BBC iPlayer and Netflix.

Yeah, I'm well up for this. I know that in later series Jennifer Saunders' capacity for editing and quality control went right out of the window, but the earlier series are an absolute comedy masterclass.
 
Are we watching on Netflix or BBC? I don’t think any of the first three episodes are edited in either but JUST IN CASE.
 
I was going to do iPlayer tonight, but either is fine for me - "Poor" in series 2 definitely has an edit as I discovered in the other thread, but I'm not sure about any other episodes.

Never thought of that. I have Netflix open but can change.

But that has often been edited...and so does DEATH often (they cut out the Like A Prayer speech)
 
I'll go NETFLIX

I'm also not going to just QUOTE things. It seems like we've DONE that. Just so you know.
 
I'm here and ready to watch the first episode again for the third time!

Who knows if I'll stick around for the other two.

You'd be better off jumping in with Fat at 9:30 really, Fashion is good but they're definitely still finding their feet in it.
 
I can't remember my Netflix password so IPlayer it is...
 
I remember so vividly watching this the first time on BBC2 all those years ago. Thursday night.
 
I quite like Saffy's cardigan. Patsy wouldn't approve :(
 
I much preferred the characters in this first series to any other. They became caricatures after this a bit. In the first, Edina is ridiculous but still believable and I much more get along with Patsy as a functioning alcoholic.
 
It's always annoyed me that she talks to Bubble like this when Bubble is clearly not the recipient of THAT kind of conversation (the chanting, the dressing gown comment)
 
I also don't think I'd ever realised she wears a wedding and engagement ring in this episode
 
You forget what a masterclass in acting and setting up the scene this is. It's almost half the episode til the next character comes in
