Siobhan Hayes is in the creds, so she'll be back. And she is HOT!
My Family - Series 9 Page 2
Abby has left permanently, and I hope that damned Alfie bloke will follow suite.
NOOOO! Abi, come back!
Quote: Jack Massey @ April 2 2009, 8:54 PM BSTLoved the opening episode tonight. Nice to see it still doing well nine series in. Very funny. Is Siobhan Hayes and Zoe Wanamaker's absense from tonights episode just a one off or are the two now out of it?
Well as Abi ran off to become a nun in the last series, I don't think she'll be back. ZM is though.

Daniella Denby Ashe who plays Janey was on yesterday's this morning and said that Zoe Wanamaker isn't in a couple of episodes due to working on another series at the same time as filming My Family.
Do you know what the other stuff Zoe is filming?
I do enjoy the show but it does feel a bit cold. I'd like it better if it was written so I could believe that underneath, Janey actually loved her family, but I don't believe she does at all.
2 Point 4 Children for example, was a similar show but had real warmth to it.

Might have been her Who Do You Think You Are? episode. Or whatever the show is called.

Miss Marple I think or I dreamed that, I don't know.
I'm still completely baffled as to why My Family is still going. I know that it's very popular with a lot of UK viewers and the BBC can rely on it to pull in the viewing figures, but the actual quality of the show and the script/material the actors have to work with (especially after Nick/Kris Marshall left the show) is so unbelievably piss poor. I wasn't surprised at all to hear that Lindsay and Wanamaker stopped production of one episode because the script was so bad - that makes me laugh more than the (post-Nick) show ever did. I'm surprised its loyal audience is still watching it after all these years. It's just a lame, unfunny piece of shit which I hate seeing Lindsay and Wanamaker - 2 of our best thespians - waste their time and talent on.
What is the point in a TV programme, in this case a sitcom, if it doesn't fulfill it's purpose?
Didn't you post that exact same thing about 2 days ago?
Never been a fan of My Family, but to be honest, the first episode of this new series was hilarious. It had the feeling of CLASSIC British comedy about it. It was quick witted and incredibly American like. Excellent!
Not excellent, but still quite a good episode considering it was mostly out of the house.
I notice the series 8 thread has been called. Will it be re-opening as I may want to talk about an episode in that series at a later date.
