The enjoyment of live episodes is a strange one, whilst if done well it's unnoticeable that it's even live for shows with actors without ability it can be a minefield. Mrs brown often showed mistakes or scripted them and they worked brilliantly, but a once enjoyable and quite fresh show has devolved into a farce. The unedited mistakes, then using an established character as a husband to just look confusing to the errors and poor acting it was just a mess, I used to howl laughing, fighting those who hated the show but this was it for me, after a bit of a rebirth to former glory this for me killed any interest in seeing it again.
Characters were stale, having non actors can be charming but having those be so awful on tv is just ridiculous especially by the company who charge us a tv license. Characters often change actors and that's normally down to issues behind the scenes, the barmaid was different but I guess that could be covid reasons. Either way this was god awful.
There's nothing new to save this, the joke about viewers declining I felt came from a bitterness to know it's on borrowed time.
