Don't say I didn't warn you ;) You did :) That's why I started listening to it only when I knew I had quite a lot of time.
Life does not just stop, it goes on and on. They should have changed the title and continue ;)
Please feel free to share with whomever you want to, to spread this awesome work! I will! I sent it to my friend but she hasn't started listening to it yet. And I'm going to write to another friend who might be interested in it. It's no unknown that most David Tennant's fans haven't even heard about it so they don't know they'd like to have it.
Everyone has been in situations like that - mom calling at 8 in the morning, and the discussion that then happened. And all the other small problems. Same here. And even if it hasn't happened to you, it's easy to imagine it could have happened to someone else. Everyday problems but with believable and nice characters, and some great lines.
Such a nice voice! I know, right? ;) With some actors, you don't have to see them, just listen to them, and you can imagine their expressions. They can build a character based on the voice only. Jonathan Aris (Anderson from Sherlock, the Vinvocci from DW's "The End of Time") was there and I haven't recognised him! I imagine his character to look completely different than the actor looks like: much older, short, well-built, with a totally different face. That's the power of voice!
Since they did such a turnaround and now suddenly wanted a kid as well, and she claims that is not possible to change your mind like that. But I think it is. Why not? I think it's possible, too. We all change, so do our priorities and goals. To have/not have kids is not a kind of decision you make once and are done with for the rest of life, I can imagine someone changing his mind.
I think it is a brillant twist. Now that they want a child, they get it denied. From the point of the storytelling, yes, that's a very good twist. I don't think anyone expected that. Still, it made me feel... like it was against the rules, like, I don't know, if someone in a cartoon fell of the cliff and died instead of just pull himself together and walk off. I suppose that was the purpose. The characters were real but the world they lived in was a close to ours, but yet an alternative universe in which everything ends well and nothing really bad happens. So they had to be transfered to the 'real' world, to become even more 'real'. And now they can have a happy ending, a happy life (I'm sure they'll make good parents) but not because they live in the sitcom world but because they are wonderful people. I think it's more comforting. I might be overanalysing it ;) or I can be the only one who felt the world they lived in was different from ours (I was thinking about the plot and plot resolutions but was the fact that I'm not married, not British and there's Internet and mobiles instead of landline phones today relevant, as a factor?) but that's how it was for me. I'd like to know how other people responded to those last episodes.
Sorry, forgot about the community. Yeah, sadly it already was dead when I joined. DINKY was broadcasted a long time ago but still, it's sad. :(
