Yes, I was very disappointed in this personality transplant Martin appears to have undertaken. If ever there was a voice of reason, it usually came from Martin. I really don’t believe he would ever do that.

Ok - I must be as thick as mince, but I did NOT recognise Elaine, the bride to be, as being the receptionist in Brittas Empire or one of Edina's best pals in Ab Fab.
It was only when I read an article about Harriet Thorpe which mentioned her best loved TV roles that the penny dropped.

I remember her well from that. A very different character from Elaine

I did see her in an old repeat of something recently (very possibly Casualty from the 80s) where she had a minor role but that’s the only time I’ve recognised her. I’d have to rewatch Ab Fab and Brittas Empire to see her in those.

She was one of Edwina's circle of friends but in Brittas she was the receptionist who famously kept her children in drawers behind her desk.

Oh god, yes! I remember that character now (the one from Brittas Empire). How could I forget her!

I thought she was quite small in real life, but Elaine seems tall. High heels perhaps.
Kojo made me laugh as he appeared in the bar following a loud crash. Hands over his ears.

Well I enjoyed the wedding - right up until Kojo fell.
Pity there was insufficient material for Gina and Anna to have tops to their dresses.
Kathy's drunken dancing was a sight to see.
Priya (who is increasingly hilarious) trying to get a hook up...
Kim's hat!!!
and the pub dog was in attendance. I keep worrying it has got stuck behind a cushion.

When you say Kojo fell…. It was more of a backward flip really!
And if Lauren is in such agony, why is she not pursuing medical help. I know we saw a GP refusing more painkillers because she had wolfed the lot, but it is not some made-up affliction. She suffered crush injuries after being caught in the club disaster so Iwould have thought she could ask for a referral to a specialist. It seems as if she can barely move without wincing. I can’t stand Lauren, she is such an hypocrite, and her awful line delivery drives me mad.

Still reckon Lauren will be the "death at Christmas".
Just saying.
But her GP should be referring her for an X-ray at least. Crush injuries can take a while to make themselves known. Could be a fractured rib of something.
