O.M.G is all I can say. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry but I don't think I'll be watching again!


It reminds me of the night we thought the foxes in our street were having a particularly active and vocal night - until we realised that foxes don't generally shout %?&$%@* and our lovely neighbour had gone into labour:)


To further digress, my favourite acronym is ROFLBSMTT


(which, according to Bill Bailey, is rolling on floor.....but still managing to type)

Was glad to see on the Xmas one that the little boy William, the triplet who was in hospital for ages, was back home. Otherwise agree that the Xmas format was disappointing, think someone's said before that the comedy is helped by good editing.


Have taped last night's along with Glee.


It's gotta be darling husband.


I like YABU (you are being unreasonable).

I can't believe I am agreeing with Keef again. DH is definitely vom-tastic.

Missed One Born Every Minute - totally forgot about it, so thank you for the reminder for next time!

You can watch it on 4oD little Ed family.


loved it. loved the kids! and how he was just sobbing at the end - v touching.


Keef - they have touched on waterbirths etc, but think you might be right re the difficulty of how much they can show? I actually quite love the two old school midwives, they're so sweet...think I would prefer one of them to the younger one who kept half laughing at the noisy lady.

Managed to watch one born every minute last night on 4od, loved it, was between cringing at the young (both slightly autistic couple?) to turning the volume off on the screaming woman as it was just too much for someone 29 weeks gone... Brilliant though, I'm very glad it's back on... Gives me a valid crying excuse!

I made the same comment about them all seemingly birthing on their backs to DH Keef... I think Ratty might be right about it being a Southampton thing.

Best moment from the Christmas series was the woman who had just given birth to a 10 1/2 lb baby saying "Christ, have I just given birth to a three year old"!?

Loved it. Am 30 weeks gone with second child so I am under no illusion as to what lies around the corner. It was probably this that made me able to laugh at Steph the Screamer, rather than curl up in fear! It was really uplifting and I cant wait for next weeks already. All praise to Channel 4 for a good old fashioned documentary format. I will treasure each episode :))

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
