    Jim is amazing. I haven't always appreciated him enough as a character and in some episodes felt like they didn't really know what to do with him, but his involvement last night was pitch perfect.

    I hadn't realised that. I follow Tom Rosenthal and Robert Popper on twitter and hadn't seen it mentioned. Just went back and had a look at their tweets. Neither said anything about it despite tweeting around that time but not that day. Popper posted a condolence the following day for musician Andrew weatherall. 3 days later they were paying about working on series 6.

    Seems odd.

    I didn't know Tom Rosenthal was Jim's son, or that he's done a, ehhh, stand-up show about his penis :eek:

    Didn't enjoy that episode at all, a real drop in quality

    "Jibby" is beyond annoying, it's like she knows one (bad) accent

    The show has been mainly poor for the last couple of seasons, its watchable but not very funny.

    Gotta agree.. season 2 was the last one I genuinely enjoyed.

    It's watchable and gets a laugh once or twice an episode but it's definitely far from it's prime.

    I know a lot of people didn't like last week's episode, I still thought it was fun, this week was a big improvement, back to basics. Horrible grandma!

    Jim has become a parody of himself this season. He is in no way at all humurous.

    The killing off of horrible grandma and then just saw Tom Rosenthal tweet pictures with her reminded me that there still doesnt seem to be any acknowledgment of the real life death of nice grandma that i could see. Bizarre.

    Robert Popper paid tribute to her after her death..

    .. and the series was filmed before her death. So potentially an "In Memory Of.." before series end.

    Loved it. Watched it tonight with my 10&12 year old. They love it and if it’s bad parenting, in these horrible times, I don’t care. I’ll take the laughs where ever we get them. :)

    This is completely irrelevant but I can't tell if she has a wig or not. I thought she did but last night's show made her hair look real.

    Jim eating the rice pudding, trying not to puke and going shalom at the same time was the highlight of the series so far. Genuinely hilarious, Mark Heap is brilliant in this.
