Series 9 Episode 1 discussion

[A Cousin]

Watching this episode with Mr AC for the first time was loads of fun!

When Harry proposed to Ruth at Ros' funeral, Mr AC gasped, started to laugh and rolled his eyes saying something like, "Oooohhhh, Harry....Harry...."

He gasped again when HS Blake invited Harry top take his gloves off and stay awhile. When it cut the opening credits, he looked at me with his eyes big as saucers and said, "Whoa!"

I think he agrees with me that is was one of the, if not the best season opener ever!

As we moved through the episode, he mentioned that he was very glad the the camera work of 8.8 was gone (He hated it!) and he was talking back to the screen the whole time. He liked the introduction of Beth and Dimitri. I think their intros as good as well. If you don't know they were new cast members (as I did) they do come as a surprise.

Again, after the fade to negative (after Vaughan is introduced) he looked at me again with eyes a big as saucers and a gleeful smile on his face and again said, "Whoa!"

I told him that I will be very curious to see his reaction to S9 as a whole. But that first episode is a corker! Time will tell.
