Vals Funeral Emmerdale

[gordiescotland1]

I thought it was really moving and I was crying when the meatloaf impersonator sang heaven can wait any1 else thought it was moving

[DTCwordfan]

val has been buried - how did she expire? couldn't be solely her vodka and vino diet...?

[gingejbee]

Moving? Really? I thought the whole thing was wildly over-written and bordering on comedy...in fact, it looked like an episode of The Vicar of Dibley.

[Baldric]

It's not real, you do know that?

[elliemay1]

It was certainly moving when Eric drove away at top speed in the hearse!

[DTCwordfan]

was the camera man coffin' at the time.....

[-Talbot-]

I thought the whole thing was wildly over-written

not to mention badly written

Chap turns up.....gets asked who he is....sticks on some Elton John glasses....ah it's you the impersonater.....'artiste' he says.

He then turns out to be Meatloaf.........so why the fekin glasses?

[DTCwordfan]

Val the gal knew Meatloaf, I am impressed

[Baldric]

What did he sing

Good Girls Go To Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere) ?

[curlyperm11]

Detested her character! Glad to see back of!
Thought the funeral was a farce. Not remotely funny OR realistic!
We are all aware in this TV Catergory that 'it's not real!' But we demand a modecom of realism!

[Ann]

Totally agree curly! I'm glad to see the back of her too, and disappointed as thought Eric was going to join her when he was in the cornfield! So stupid, so not funny, absolutely ridiculous and I know its only a soap but very disrespectful to anyone who has just attended a funeral. Infactile writers!

[PankySmooch]

As Ann and curly says....total farce

[baza]

What a waste of an hour, bad script, over acted, and yes I know it is a soap.

[cupid04]

Len Reynolds had a better send off when Katherine Jenkins sang 'A time to say goodbye.'

[curlyperm11]

Thanks Anne and Pankysmooch
Aside from the dreadful overacting, I've recently attended my Aunties funeral at which the song was, Doris Day's 'QueSera Sera'
So brought it all back for me, but with all the OTT posters of Val, and the topless blokes! .... I'm sorry, that just wouldn't happen!!!
Dreadful!

[Ken4155]

OTT certainly but great to see Eric auditioning for 2 remakes; The Bodysnatchers and The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner.

[Boto]

Saw half of it and it was ridiculous! New writers needed.

[dannyk13]

A total farce

I was thinking 'Forrest Gump'

[Robinia]

It was a shame they went with the ridiculous, they could have made it a colourful celebration of Val's life without going ott. I quite liked her crazy ways, every village needs one :)

[Baldric]

Goodbyeeee!
