Paul Ritter who plays the dad is sadly missed 😢 He had a terrific acting range, evidenced by his role as the mean & moody Dyatlov in the Chernobyl series, completely at the other end of the spectrum from FND Martin

[@YouAreTrash.]

He was phenomenal in that.

[@infamyinfamy]

He was great in The Game (2014) BBC series too. That was a really great programme, that few people seem to have seen!

[@eadweard.]

He played a radiation man in Chernobyl too.

[@krashd]

@@infamyinfamy The Game was great, shame it was only a miniseries.

[@jimmycorper]

​@@eadweard. Thanks bud. Great info as always.

[@RBernsCarter]

One of the most “British comedy” bits of this episode is how unfalteringly polite Tanya is throughout the absolute car crash of an evening

[@billthebassist256]

I honestly think you guys are one of the only KZbin couples i enjoy, its obvious how much you love each other, I just don't often see much of a chemistry between couples that you guys have, it awesome and its part of why I love watching you guys

[@KingBoomer]

Thanks Bill!

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

Totally agree. Ngl, I think the whole being friends first part probably worked out pretty well for them :)

[@davidz3879]

@@rasmusn.e.m1064 What are the advantages of being friends for a few years first?

[@davidz3879]

Yes, but it's chemistry that took a few years of friendship to find.

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

@@davidz3879 They seem like they could be good friends even if they weren't a couple, which, I think, essentially means that they trust each other and respect each other's boundaries? That seems like kind of an obvious thing, but when you are new to relationships, it's not at all obvious where your jurisdiction, so to speak, begins and ends regarding the other person. Some people try to do everything to please the other person, and others try to control the other person because they want them to be perfect. I'm just saying that that doesn't seem to be the case for them because they seem to have had time to establish those boundaries already. Sorry this turned into a small thesis, but that's what happens when suddenly you have to explain something said on a whim.

[@lawrencegt2229]

Tanya is played by Tuppence Middleton. Was there ever a more British name for an actress?

[@sargonsblackgrandfather2072]

No matter how many times he does it Jim flinching at his own dog always cracks me up 😂 100% if wasn’t in the script but he’s such a good actor he must have ad-libbed it

[@garethm3242]

Mark Heap is an incredible comic actor. I would recommend you guys watch "Big Train" @KingBoomer. Created and written by the 2 guys who wrote Father Ted.

[@misterprecocious2491]

​@@garethm3242 also Spaced and Green Wing.

[@merlynsfire1275]

vote again for Green Wing

[@Tim_3100]

Mark heap also appeared in series 2 of the indian doctor

[@chrisspere4836]

Your so right. It is hilarious how he always thinks the dog is going to go for him. I think also that he is a great actor.

[@minoumcduff5727]

Queen Boomer is adorable, love her little jingles

[@vilebrequin6923]

Avert your eyes, Sir!

[@michaelcox8820]

If my mother had ever pulled a stunt like this on me, I’d have drowned myself in the river.

[@RobertTaylor-gz2fu]

At least Tanya's pretty; imagine if she weren't.

[@4Kandlez]

@@RobertTaylor-gz2fu It's a shame she turned out to be a slag though

[@michaelcox8820]

@@RobertTaylor-gz2fu good point lol

[@LuckyDucky917]

I love this show. I also all call apple crumble 'crimble crumble' whenever I have it - can't help it! Jim is a legend. Please move on fast to season 2!! Some good episodes coming up!!!!

[@Bond2025]

Jim appeared on the hit series Benidorm as con man Malcolm. That was before the person behind it sold it to ITV after 10 years and they dumped it - angering long time fans.

[@RobertTaylor-gz2fu]

There's never an explanation for Martin & Jackie frequently calling meat "a lovely bit of squirrel".

[@4Kandlez]

It's just a saying that means the opposite, comparing a really good piece of meat to squirrel. Like saying somethings bad to mean good "that car is bad dude"

[@eadweard.]

​@@4Kandlez That's incoherent.

[@mral8145]

I always just put it down to dad humour.

[@krashd]

He's just mocking his wife's cooking, all dad's do it, even when it's good.

[@bishopswoodcrafts]

@@krashd he's not mocking it... he does love it. It's just a dad saying

[@merlynsfire1275]

sticking the V's up at the whole audience while giggling 'like and subscribe' might be the most british thing you've done so far :D cracked me right up

[@Opini0nat3d]

We're English, we don't like being embarrassed - hence the baby photos being a "no no".

[@jakell99]

Queen B takes a lot of cues from these videos eg: Watching Father Ted having a picnic.. "we should have a picnic" Watching FT and Dougal writing a song.. "we should write a song" Watching the Baby photos scene "let's get out your baby pictures" I would be very careful what I watch if that became a regular thing..

[@garethm3242]

Your reactions to this show genuinely breathe fresh life into it. I watched it when it was first out and while I enjoyed this first series/season, I kind of trailed off on series 2 but this is making me want to revisit the show. Nice work guys, cheers from Ireland.

[@JamesPearson92]

The enjoyment we as subscribers/ viewers get from seeing both your reactions to British humour like FND is unparalleled! Keep the reactions coming! Much love from the UK (currently from Paris... Few days away from British humour and now in a place with none )

[@lisaxx3784]

You guys 'flipping us the bird' at the start 😂 (Some british slang there, rather fitting too)

[@MakoyUnggoy]

If you have a look you will see that 'Flippin the bird' is actually an american saying, not british

[@coom0004]

Tanya in real life is called Tuppence

[@davidz3879]

Tuppence Middleton

[@4Kandlez]

That's unfortunate, at least they didn't name her Vagina

[@krashd]

If she married Jill Halfpenny she'd have one hell of a name.

[@RobertTaylor-gz2fu]

Tanya disappears after this, as though she never existed.

[@4Kandlez]

Good, the slag

[@lavenderllamamusic]

I knew something was going on by the way Tanya would look at Johnny throughout the evening! At the table and in the living room. The second she excused herself to the bathroom right after Johnny was sent to get the milk, it was obvious 😅

[@sukhi17]

Being British, I've never ever watch Friday Night Dinner. I've only been watching it on your KZbin channel and will continue to do so! 😀

[@J0kerCards]

I loved so much how queen boomer didn’t react at all when they pretend punch came at her. Glad she feels so safe with you it’s beautiful to see!

[@hannyb9417]

King Boomer I think you need to write their names on your hand like Martin does 😂

[@KingBoomer]

Yes!

[@matthewbruce1851]

These videos crack me up, you two are hilarious!

[@JoeWedgwood-ik9zo]

Martin is the father I aspire to be 😂

[@RobertTaylor-gz2fu]

We never know if Alison is real or not. There are no further mentions of her.

[@eoinlad123]

Your impersonations of the characters always crack me up spot on

[@dapaintbrush6965]

I haven't watched Friday night dinner in a while. And I'm enjoying watching it again with you 2 ❤️❤️🔥🔥

[@julianwilcox399]

I used to Babysit for Tuppence Middleton , who plays Tania in this episode and gone on to do greater roles. I still know her entire family

[@lavenderllamamusic]

that's awesome!

[@jakell99]

Isaac Newton invented the first reflecting telescope after his friends down the pub told him that if you use a big enough mirror you can see Uranus..

[@GunnarFreyr71909]

Johnny, the brother co-wrote and played in a Roman spoof comedy with modern issues intertwined. Called 'Plebs'. Very adult humor. Check it out and see if that is something for you.

[@007mrdarcy]

That's right. Called "The Plebs" - Very funny show

[@GunnarFreyr71909]

@@007mrdarcy Just added. Thanks.

[@lillustpotion]

🎶 when in Rome do as the Romans dooo 🎶 love that show

[@ryanmitchell6056]

I can't wait for you to see the dinner episode 😄''Shalom...Shalom...Shalom to you all...''

[@laurenmassey73]

I love your videos! Also that colour looks so pretty on Callie

[@Mikebuster]

we're getting close to the paint, I cannot wait to see their reaction to that. I nearly bust my gut from laughing when that first came out

[@RobertTaylor-gz2fu]

S2 e6, The Mouse, is excellent.

[@RAP7ORv]

"OIL PAINT!"

[@bailey8715]

My favourite has got to be the doll episode, cant remember the name of it

[@anniesharp4871]

Jim: "So much blood"

[@LuckyDucky917]

When is it he gets electrocuted? Is that the paint episode?

[@tonygriffin_]

Tanya was the actress Tuppence Middleton, who went on to bigger things eventually. And you're right, she's certainly smokin'! And has a great bottom.

[@vilebrequin6923]

.....for a female.

[@watchreadplayretro]

I tuned in for the awesome jingle and cymbal (hey King Cymbal-Head!) and stayed for the episode!

[@martinscott-reed5379]

Baby photos aren't embarrassing at all. Now, photos of one as an older child in the widest flares and a flowerery shirt are a different matter.

[@ItsMeBliz]

Glad you are going through all the episodes of this great show. The actor who played Jonny (Tom Rosenthal) was also in a funny show called Plebs, it's well worth a watch and I think you'd love the guy who plays Grumio (Ryan Sampson).

[@davidneal9368]

That goofy character at the door with glasses Reminds me of a Knicker Snatcher!

[@N_Loco_Parenthesis]

There are not many youtubers whose banter is better than the source material.

[@dondonmcknight]

Would Keeping Up Appearances (great comedy) end up on your list to watch maybe watch a couple of clips first before episode love your videos 🔥

[@johnmills3619]

I subscribed when you gave me the Vicky! 😂😂😂

[@pigeonscumtoo9901]

As a Brit I really do enjoy your reaction videos!! Never change that hairstyle king boomer!

[@JoeeyTheeKangaroo]

King Boomer. Nobody has commented this yet but on the off chance you read this you two should watch a TV show called 'Him and Her.' you two would love it, highly underrated.

[@lillustpotion]

That’s such a good suggestion!

[@connortaylor3863]

Can’t wait to see there reaction when Martin does online shopping 😂

[@Keepingitrespectfulmostly.]

27:01 When he says "I would" right after the rest of the family are talking about and complimenting Tanya, that is the hint he is also interested in her. He is being crude. As far as I can make out. Response to video only.

[@andrewjones4568]

Not sure if you guys know but an Estate Agent is what you call a Realtor in the US.

[@matthewhenery4834]

If ever there was a skit to show how much you love each other... you really do.

[@mlee6050]

Next message "what is Tuesday? And when is it?"

[@jayrap94]

00:28 [Tom Rosenthal watching]: "Some other guy? 😢" 🤣

[@martindunstan8043]

Hey regal boomers👍 so Wednesday it is then Queen, great group chat interlude 🤣🤣✌️

[@Simon42102]

Two fingers facing forward is an insult to English people because back in the day the French would cut the fingers off of any archer they caught so he couldn’t shoot. So it’s basically saying F you I’ve still got my fingers

[@eadweard.]

This is not true.

[@krashd]

@@eadweard. The story is true, but it's not really insulting any more, it's just a sign of defiance and becomes more of a playful gesture with every decade.

[@rickoep3]

Stumbled across you're videos after searching for Friday night dinner videos 😅 Fantastic content from you guys, Great to see Americans enjoy our comedies from across the pond and glad to see you two really got into this show as its hilarious 😅👌 also great to see a fellow member of the cult of cornette 😅👌 wondering if u listen to the drive thru and the experience also king boomer?

[@leighmonty13]

Nothing like being set up on a date 😂

[@helvete983]

The other guy is Tom Rosenthal, I highly recommend Plebs. It's a comedy set in the Roman era.

[@dellaanniehughes4533]

Check out Green Wing

[@fresh.prince7472]

I love how queen is àlways in hysterics when the video starts 😆

[@vickyiles1690]

[@rerenaissance7487]

You need to get some names written onto the back of those old 100+ year photos. You never know when you will suddenly wonder who they were. Your country's history is all pretty recent - in those photos are people who saw most of it.

Pretty sure Queen Boomer just offered to put her baby pics up to see 👀

[@jackbluehq6653]

It looks like a projector

[@THEonlyAEON]

I've never been in the baby photo position but for me it might be kind of awkward in this situation as it would feel like my parents were trying to show me off which might make me feel a little embarrassed if they were showing it to someone I and they know I'm into, even though yes that's not me in the present and I'm fully aware of that.
