The Larkins viewers gave their verdict on the first episode of ITV’s reboot of the 1990s hit.
However, while many loved it and called it ‘perfick’ many accused the show of jumping onto the ‘woke’ bandwagon.
What did The Larkins give us last night on ITV?
Instead of Sir David Jason, Pam Ferris and Catherin Zeta-Jones, we got Bradley Walsh, Joanna Scanlan and Sabrina Bartlett.
Set in a Kent village in the 1950s, it also introduced some multi-cultural characters into the mix, who didn’t feature in the original books.

This included the fab Tok Stephen as Charley – the shy tax inspector who is bamboozled by Mariette’s beauty.
And while this new version of the classic series did a great job in giving us gentle, comforting Sunday night TV, it didn’t go down well with some.
#TheLarkins Woke on STEROIDS.
