That was just simply fantastic. Heads and sholders above the rest of any British drama on TV in terms of acting, realism and script.
Ruth Jones, in particular was exceptional. What a talent. I felt so much sympathy for her character - she displayed the loneliness she felt just through her expressions. That scene in the taxi office the morning after the night before was just so powerful. No dialogue needed.
I think the wife summed it up perfectly, as to why her husband slept with Sandra when she said "he was a big soft lump that would do anything for anybody".
And the ending had me in absolute floods! Terrific performances. I thought the funeral scenes were spot on in terms of realism and Timothy Spall's speech had me in tears.
I'm sad to see this series go.
That was probably my favourite episode of the whole series. Pure brilliance on every level.

I agree the emotion that Timothy Spall displayed, it was amazing.
I think this was my favourite of the whole series.
I think it was right to end the series this way.. I can't imagine having Eddie without Margie...
And all because he didn't want to say no twice and let Sandra down..

yes i agree, and i also think it had the added effect of already knowing the characters from the first two series, it was so clever the links between them. Like mentioning the lump from series two.
I cried for this last episode why did it have to end?
I heard it was because of the large budget
just been watching the first series on DVD, the episode with Jim Broadbent was simply amazing, really moving, but with some funny moments too. Like when he took the book out from the library about Suicide and the librarian asked who's going to return it
my favourite is the last episode in series 2 with Paul, cried for ages after it

My favourite was the Gina McKee one when her son and his cousin when on a night out.
