Snippet from an interview with Mat Baynton and Simon Farnaby from Absolute Radio today. Sorry about the flash forward clip at the start, I hope that editing trend ends soon!

Basically, my parents suggested going to see the film because me and my sibling like the tv series. My parents haven’t seen the series would it still make sense and be enjoyable?

They might be open to watching some of the tv series but I don’t think there’s time to arch the whole thing.

Please, no spoilers. I really want to enjoy the film when I see it.
Thanks!

10/10… AMAZING! Laughed then cried then laughed again. Missed this amazing bunch so much and they couldn’t have done any better than what they did. It was just perfect. I’m sad to say goodbye to them again but thankfully we’ve another option for a rewatch 🫶🏻

Saw the film tonight and it's actually really very good

My wife is sure we found out the captains name in the episode about his death, I don't think we had found out until the film.

On a separate note during filming do you think all the actors who haven't been on taskmaster have to sit on their own table

So the film is absolutely brilliant but I think they missed a trick by not having the possessed kids sit down in the Button House kitchen for a meal. Pat getting to have a scotch egg was that blend of heartwarming and hilarious that is the signature for these 6 Idiots, and then we had the lovely moment with Jack leaving his phone for Kitty, but it would have also been so sweet to see them finally get to have a real food club together as a family.

Also did anyone spot any mention of Mary anywhere? Surprised it never came up, especially considering the houses for mouses.

Just been to see the movie and first of all - wow, 10 out of 10, I immediately want to rewatch it.

And secondly what on earth was that song where Jack leaves his phone at the house for Kitty and the two dance around?

Cannot get it out of my head !!

Husband and I really want to see the new film. We have an almost 4 year old. She’s been to cinema before - saw shawn the sheep recently.

Showcase description says its family friendly. If you’ve seen it - is it suitable for a 3 year old?

We don’t want her to get a fright. Equally we don’t want to disturb other film watchers.

We’d probably go to an early Sunday showing.

For anyone wondering what the badge Cap and Havers was wearing in the movie, during the Eagles Nest scene. It is 10th Anti-Aircraft Division.

10th Anti-Aircraft Division was formed on 1st Nov 1939, and was responsible for the anti-aircraft defence of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. This would have involved anti aircraft guns, searchlights and all other related equipment. They were disbanded Oct 1942, as anti-aircraft command was reorganized to more closely align with RAF fighter command.

Why two soldiers from anti-aircraft would be doing what Cap and Havers were up to, I have no idea. Also not sure why they would wear black berets. Being a dream as such though means we can probably ignore any inaccuracies.

I don't think they had any other badges that would need identifying, but if there are, if someone can get a screenshot, I can ID those too.

When Jack is in the bedroom with Thomas he has a reflection in the mirror... I don't remember them having reflections!

Some cute ghosties I did. How amazing was the film!!! 🩷

Whenever I click on other people's accounts, they've always got like at least a thousand, which I think is crazy.

The film is officially the UK’s number one!

£2.4 million as opening weekend totals!! ($3.2 in US)

If you haven’t gone to see it yet (and have the ability to do), please do pop down to your local cinema to see it!

It’s such a fantastic film for the whole family and you don’t need to have seen the show to understand.

Proud of all involved, and they’re so deserving of this acclaim!

Mat, Simon, Martha, Laurence and Ben have all shared their thanks via their social media platforms! Please go hop to IG, Bluesky or Twitter to congratulate them!❤️

Yay! They have corrected the spelling mistake in the title card!

Having watched the trailers and clips released with cast interviews etc, I thought I already knew the basic plot of the film - Julian possesses a boy, goes to get Alison and Mike, and they have to get him back before the boy's spirit dies. But none of the trailers show any clips of the rest of the ghosts possessing the children and leaving Button House. I genuinely didn't see it coming, and the moment when they're climbing through the fence and become the ghosts in the children's clothes getting onto the bikes was wonderful. I'm so pleased that the trailers didn't give that away, or the rest of the adventures they have.

Now I'm wondering whether I can wait until it comes onto iPlayer or whether I need to go and see it in the cinema again. It was fantastic!

Is the woman who was arranging the flowers at the wedding also this plague ghost?

A small detail from the film I liked is when the ghosts are waiting at the main gate for Julian & co. to return. Humphrey's head is up a tree looking for Alison's car - a green Peugeot - and he repeatedly struggles to say it, pronouncing it phonetically (pujot).

This is, of course, because Humphrey is absolutely terrible at French in both life and death! I thought that was really good canon continuation. There are so many small details in the film that I feel would take a re-watch to pick up!

I JUST SAW THE MOVIE AND IT WAS BRILLIANT!! Was sobbing when Havers appeared and Pat had his awaited scotch egg. Definitely need to watch it again but I’m still not sure if I’m ready to say goodbye just yet!

Episode is I Love Lucy btw

No spoilers. Just wanted to say, that was absolutely delightful.
