21.02.2015 ·
I’m so glad Last Tango In Halifax is coming back for another season. Best drama series for ages. Wonderful acting by all.
23.02.2015 ·
I am so glad to have another wonderful show to watch from PBS and the BBC. Excellence is what I know I will be watching when I tune in. The stories, the drama, acting and humor are what make your series and programming fascinating to watch. The actors are the best in the world and I thank you for that. I can hardly wait for he next season to begin. Thank you for all the delight you bring to all of us.

Hip Hip Hooray!! A fourth series can’t wait! love it, such a brilliant drama filled with fantastic actors, humour and beautiful British countryside! Best Wishes from Australia

Can’t remember being so obsessed with a tv show. Love LTIH! Can hardly wait for the next episode…
11.04.2015 ·
Yes, I don’t know that waiting until December is a lot of fun but I guess if I want it then December it is. Love this series.
17.05.2015 ·
I love this series so much, but hate the wait in US to see latest episodes. Love it so much want it to go on for ever. Ps where are new episodes of Happy Valley?
01.06.2015 ·
absolutely love this series. Can’t wait for season 4!!
06.07.2015 ·
Yes. I love this show.
10.07.2015 ·
Great show. Still reeling from the (presumed) death of Kate
13.07.2015 ·
I really miss Kate but have hope in quirky Greg. Likewise the mix of Alan and Celia, Gillian and Caroline, and the kids and grandkids are always interesting and fun. I confess I hope we see more “spiritual support” from Kate. My sister passed away many years ago but I still think about her and what her opinions would be.

I am delighted having binge watched all three seasons of the extraordinary “Last Tango In Halifax, However I only got to see 5 episodes in the third season ,. Is there in fact only five? or did I get shorted out of episode 6 when I bought it on Amazon. Help!!
30.07.2015 ·
Hi, yes, I just finished watching episode 6 season 3 on our local PBS station. So you might want to contact Amazon and get your missing episode.
03.08.2015 ·
Netflix seems to have all of the episodes of season 3 including episode 6. I just started watching from the beginning season 1 episodes 1 2 and 3 is all I’ve watched. I too am binging. This is a great show. I am watching from United States
07.06.2016 ·
Woopie…..Thank the Lord!!!!!Thought, sadly, it was all over after the final episode of series 3…..Now we can relax and wait….
03.08.2015 ·
Turning a series into a cash cow is just not wise. Even Anne Reid agrees the 4th season needs to be the last.
For those who watch it in America, be aware that considerable cutting/editing has been done prior to the airing. I know this is true because I have bought all 3 seasons-original BBC DVDs- from Amazon.UK . It takes forever and a day to get the UK DVD but it is worth the wait because no cutting/editing has been done.
LTIH would not have had near the impact it did had not Nina Sosanya been in the series. Sarah Lancashire seems to command a lot of credit but without her fellow actress, Nina, it would have had only minimal appeal. Nina received so little credit for her vital role in LTIH.
03.08.2015 ·
I got the UK DVD and can’t play it…how did you manage to play it on the US system?
30.06.2016 ·
by an all zone DVD player about 39.00$
13.08.2016 ·
A season 4 to look forward to. I’m so glad — I love this show. Great going PBS!
03.08.2015 ·
I wish I could match up the names of the actors with the characters. When was the decision made to just show all the actors’ names at the beginning, but not lining them up with the characters’ names? I just read the comment about Nina Sosanya. Who is she playing? Who is Sarah Lancashire playing?
10.08.2015 ·
Caroline = Sarah Lancashire
Kate = Nina Sosanya
Alan = Eric(?) Jacoby
Celia = Anne Reid
03.04.2016 ·
Our whole family loves this show! So happy they decided to make a 4th season… I’d watch it . The acting is always so good and the storyline continues to be interesting. Oh why can America makes these kind of shows? Sigh….
12.08.2015 ·
PLEASE keep this talent going on forever!!!Jusy love it and I am so addicted
30.08.2015 ·
I enjoy the scenery shown in the series mostly. I’m glad they didn’t belabor the “gay” situation. That has become tiring enough in real life. – Show more scenery & less of the characters that can become tiresome after a while.
31.08.2015 ·
Just found this show last week!!! Have been addicted to say the least!! Absolutely love this show!
Have finished watching the last 3seadons and want more!! Can’t wait tell season 4!! Come on let’s go!!!
01.09.2015 ·
Only saw a few episodes on TV but then bought the 3 seasons and binge watched. Great show, I
am addicted. Love the characters and all the interaction among the generations. In season 3,
are Raff and William different actors? William seems definitely new, but I’m not so sure about Raff?
Why do the characters from Halifax leave out all articles when they speak–“I’ve put kettle on.” etc. I know that Ann Reid said the show should end after 4 seasons, but I don’t agree. There are so many interesting characters that I would like to see it continue. I agree with other comments–why
do we have such sophomoric TV dramas in America that are crude and not realistic at all? What a waste when British dramas give us so many more quality shows to engage us.
06.09.2015 ·
Love the series and almost all BBC offers.
07.09.2015 ·
The scenery, the sheep sounds, and the never a dull moment twist and turns of dramatic personal events. A delight for binge watching satisfaction. A very sad season 3 – was almost too difficult to watch
08.09.2015 ·
Very much looking forward to the next season !! Excellent show
10.09.2015 ·
Last Tango in Halifax AND Downton Abbey both had the potential to be longer-running than Coronation Street. Shame on Julian Fellowes for not recognizing that! And congratulations and kudos to Sally Wainwright for doing the right thing!
13.09.2015 ·
Full marks to Sally Wainwright and the writers and script writers of all the marvellous family oriented shows that British television has brought to us over the years. All the great character actor and actress’s (I insist!) can all be recognised for what they do, portraying people we all know from our own families, people across the street and the next-door neighbours. For instance, how many people have a “Mrs.Richards” in their family? Well I certainly did! It’s one thing to laugh at other people but to be able to do so at oneself is priceless! I even asked the lady in our local bakers for a “Geoffrey Palmer” one day, the she knew exactly what I wanted, served me and I left the shop leaving her trying to explain to another customer what it was all about!

07.11.2015 ·
Great show.
09.11.2015 ·
I gave up television years ago but found this series at the library. I just love it! I’m another one who found the show and binge-watched the whole three episodes. I really enjoy all the characters and the storyline. I can hardly wait for season 4. Thanks for making enjoyable television programs for those of us who like substance in viewing. Great job BBC!
11.11.2015 ·
Am watching series 3 on Netflix and it is just a repeat of other former episodes. Is something
wrong with the tapes I am getting?
15.11.2015 ·
Can’t wait for this series to start again. Addictive!
17.11.2015 ·
Here in the States great fan. Love this show so glad we will have a 4th season. We really have to wait a while to be able to watch but it is worth it. Good move BBC
17.11.2015 ·
Absolutely love this show! This is on my list of favorite Brit shows – right up there with Doc Martin. They, and some of the older Britcoms (As Time Goes By) are series I’ve watched over and over again and never tire of them. Happy to read LTIH has been renewed for a fourth series. I love the characters and the writing. Top notch! I also hope Doc Martin is around for at least another (8th) series.
26.11.2015 ·

We have just finished watching series 3 and have DVD’s of series 1-3. Can’t wait to see series 4 here in Australia! As we are in our 70’s and only married 15 years ago we can identify with many aspects of the show.
19.06.2016 ·

13.09.2016 ·
Thank you American TV for not providing anything worth while watching over the summer which forced me to investigate Netflix and upon recommendation The Last Tango was suggested. Love, love, love it; the writing is incredible story line fascinating. Since finishing Season Three and waiting for four (please hurry) I have begun Happy Valley another BBC thriller (Caroline is now Catherine and her life style so very different-incredible acting) with a fascinating story line. I am a huge fan of BBC. Thank you for your creative writing and compelling story line.
14.09.2016 ·
EXCELLENT SHOW!!!! JUST BINGED WATCHED ALL THREE SEASONS WITH A BUNCH OF FRIENDS !!! SO VERY BRILLIANT.. LOVE , LOVE , LOVE THIS SHOW PLEASE KEEP THE IT GOING.. QUALITY T.V IS SO VERY HARD TO FIND THESE DAYS.. LOVE BBC AND PBS THANK YOU FOR THIS SHOW KUDOS TO ALL INVOLVED IN THE MAKING OF IT..
22.09.2016 ·
Come on BBC! We re all waiting for the next series! We love it here in Holland!

1. Will there be a season 4? SW must rectify her mistake……..
2. SW must read what has been written in the Caroline and Kate fanfiction? I have read many of the stories and there are a number that would be plausible for a rewrite of season 3 ep 6 and let Kate live.
3. LTIH will not survive without Kate. The love between these two is to precious and vital to the series.
4. Just curious, why wasn’t Nina given any recognition. No mention at all, except for Sarah at BAFTA acceptance speech?
5. I have been reading the Fanfiction on C&K. It is amazing the number of fans that have read them and also the number of people that have written them. A new story almost every day.
26.10.2016 ·
Great sh very addicted. What is date of 4th season. Please let us know we are all in suspense.
01.12.2016 ·
That’s GREAT news! Very few shows on TV are worth watching, this is the best! The Characters are real, that’s good acting. The show plays all the emotions. There couldn’t be a better cast. I wish this drama would continue for many episodes.
23.12.2016 ·
Just finished watching season 3 on Netflix in Canada.
We are so very impressed by quality of the acting, storyline, camera work, settings, etc….so superior to anything American-produced. For example, the pace of the drama…allowing long, slow scenes of character interaction which allows a depth of development so essential to the underlying motives of the characters.
Another thing: no excessive guns and violence which seems such an imbedded necessity in American productions. This is so obvious in BBC police dramas also, with the steady, thoughtful pace of the stories.
09.04.2017 ·
Please bring a season 5 or the continuation of season 4 that was only two episodes. Best series ever for this U.S. viewer and I am not alone!
25.04.2018 ·
i was looking forward to seasons 4 & 5 of Last Tango In Halifax…hope they still happen – love this show!
07.07.2018 ·
I have also been looking for this show for a long time. Please run this delightful comedy. Been looking for this one a long time. Would love to see how the story continues.
