Has it really gone downhill? I mean were the old series better?
After I finish S4 would you advise me to go and watch Series 1 onwards? Or go onto Series 5 and make my way up to S8?


Which 'era' was better?

Sorry about all the questions, but I expect your all fans where as I've only watched S4.

Yep, many have left and even earlier on people like Fiona, Sheila, Kev and Veronica have left the cast..

I would say it's gone downhill but only slightly, the first 2 or 3 series are my favourites but i still love all of them. I think it depends what characters you like aswell and how much involvement they have in each series.

I'd say once you've finished series 4 you start at series 1 and just work your way through them all, i know that'll take quite a while but i've saw all the episodes last summer but i got the series 1-7 boxset or my Christmas and i quickly worked my way through every episode to remind myself of what had been happening before series 8 started.

I think if you watch every episode though you'll enjoy series 8 more when you get round to watching it.
