I'm not a massive LotR fan, we were forced to read it in school etc., I just thought I'd give this series a chance.

It's strange seeing Lenny Henry on it, I didn't expect that at all.

The graphics are mostly really good, as is the acting, but we all know why this series is being made: to compete with the Game of Thrones franchise.

To be fair, the early episodes of the first series of GoT weren't great, you sort of had to stick with it for a bit before it got better. The new House of Dragons has hit the ground running in comparison.

I'm going to give this series a chance as I think it has a lot of potential. It seems a bit like an XBox game at times, but this is the modern world now, that's how good the games have got.

This came on when iPlayer randomised on the TV, I can't remember what I actually had on before it. I was busy writing a long email on the laptop and was hearing little bits along the way and it had me laughing out loud. Some proper belly laughs in this show. Had to restart it afterwards and watch it all again.

Very good. Some of the best comedy the BBC has come up with in years. The generational part is key to the comedy too. Can we have more like this please?

Shocked to discover the series has not been renewed. Gutted. How can you make something that good and then drop it?

The BBC doesn't have a clue sometimes. This was gold. It ruins programmes like Question of Sport and still show its carcass, but doesn't renew this. It beggars belief.

I was flicking through the streaming services for something to watch and I came across this little gem. I didn't read much about it, the title sort of said enough, I just clicked to watch. I remember the father being from the Ellen sitcom too, so that was another pull.

I was surprised to find that it was all in England, I thought it would have been in America. There are some lovely father and daughter scenes, funny and emotional at the same time, and some really nice winter scenes in and around York. I didn't expect it to have me crying as well, but it did.

Nice acting, good cast, good script, some beautiful locations. Would highly recommend. A nice warm Christmas film to snuggle up on the sofa with.
