The Cockfields

Having recently discovered the Chattabix podcast with the writers David Earl and Joe Wilkinson, I found out about The Cockfields. It's a gentle meander about a family and their interactions with each other, and other people. Funny, annoying, tender and odd moments occur, just like with my family (and probably yours). Hope there's a 3rd series.

Articulates the nuances of family life in a subtle and good-natured way.

Let's face it we live in a time where humour is dead and everything upsets someone. Well not in this case, this series is the warmest, funniest least upsetting of any comedy series of the last 10 years or so. The acting and the writing is impeccable. The first series was magical and the second series is on a par and I just want more. What a coup for UK Gold. I don't want to single anybody out because they are all great, but, I have to make a special mention for Joe Wilkinson, what a talented guy. If you want to feel good about life then watch this fantastic series.

Excellent.Thoroughly enjoyed the 3 episodes.A very subtle study of people.Reminded me of the Royle family in parts. Excellent acting from all especially Bobby Ball.His facial expressions are brilliant.

I absolutely love The Cockfields. I came across it by chance last year and was excited to see a new series had come out recently with 6 episodes Thai time! My 14 year old enjoys watching it with us. It's a well observed comedy with every day situations & a few poignant moments thrown in that may bring a tear of joy to the eye. The scenery of the Isle of Wight is lovely and relaxing and makes me want to visit. I was apprehensive with the replacement of the late Bobby Ball as Ray, but Gregor Fisher of Rab C Nesbitt fame does the character justice. Also like the new girlfriend Esther-previously seen in Alan Partridge. Can't wait for the Xmas special!!
