[Alf Stewart]

I particularly enjoyed the comedy of Roger mouthing off about his theory regarding Damon as you can see Sheila storming across the road in the background. The sort of thing you could only ever do with a real street.

Roger is a brilliant comic character without being an out and out comedy character.


Anyone else finding on Firestick the latest episodes are in the wrong ratio - they've been stretched to 16:9 then cropped to 4:3.

I must admit I like Roger too. Yes at times he can be a moaning old woman and complete a**e but he's shown his softer and more compassionate side by helping Petra deal with the admin for Gavins death. I know he's a legal bod so it's his 'job' but he does seem to have gone above and beyond.

A few characters seem to have been toned down a bit. While still unlikeable, Paul seems slightly more bearable since he had his depressive episode and even Lucy was quite pleasant when she was apologising to Roger for being short with him about the burglary. I must admit I quite like Annabelle. She seems quite down to earth and a bit of fun really. You can understand her frustration with Paul but of all the Collins family she seems to be the one who has accepted their predicament and is just trying to get on and make the best of it.

Ricky Tomlinson seems to be really enjoying himself too. He's had some depressing scenes but when he's in the light hearted ones he really
comes to life.
