The scene at the laughter yoga broke my heart. Ironically, though, when people who repress their sadness attempt to laugh heartily, they eventually begin to sob and the deep sadness emerges. It's an interesting phenomenon...
The class is a metaphor for where she is at in her life. Everyone around her is laughing, but nobody is interested in her or what she feels / thinks. It emphasises the loneliness that she feels inside. Brilliant acting from Diane once again.
Very true Chris the lawyer working in Costa coffee. I didn't appreciate the tramadol in my coffee when I had my meeting with Victoria. Everyone laughed at the woman drugged because people don't like her. It's not a nice feeling.
I think it represents having to be around neurotypical people 😂 They make no sense. Why wouldn't they just watch something actually funny so their laughter would be real? So dumb.
@carolinewhitaker967 What? Your comment is quite confusing. English isn't my first language, so I might've missed something. But where is the context to the scene or OP's comment? I don't know what a weak opioid in coffee has to do with the scene or the comment above.
Such a great arc her character goes through. From arrogant and emotionally detached; to connecting and being truthful with herself; and finally being vulnerable enough to be in a place where the right person came along at the end. Great editing here to showcase the journey too.
I laughed my head off at that. And when he told her he was a barrister; You? "No, I'm not one of them" I laughed even louder. This woman is hilarious. I predict Someone in the future will see her absolute immaculate comedic timing & she'll get a dramatic role & shock us all. Remember, Olivia Coleman started in comedy
Didn't think Kath would be the one I relate to the most since I share the views of Ricky/Tony, but I cried a lot after the end of the last episode because of her loneliness.
Well good because Ricky and the rest of the cast was sooooo wondering what a tiny body of water was thinking. You know something bigger than a puddle but smaller than a lake. But less activity than a stream or River. How did you watch the show though? I mean water and electricity don’t mix
@@lobora3205 What does "deserve better" mean though? If you can't find someone you're into, then dating someone you're not into isn't going to make you feel better or less lonely. The loneliest I've ever been was dating someone I didn't want to be with.
She cute for an inbread English bird. Check out her right ear. It's inside out. There are a couple other tell tale signs of British in breeding too. Can you find them all?
This show. They took her character from an annoyance and the butt of the joke and humanized her, make you really care about her and ultimately emotionally connect with her. It's such a great show. I think it's time for a rewatch.
throughout the 3 seasons i shed a few tears every now and then but the "I'm so lonely" scene had me sobbing quite literally and I hated how they were all so cold and sent her out instead of hugging her
@@Cyberpunk2024 in this instance it's the yoga teacher, in everyday life it's most people. That's not being judgmental I hope, but whomever you encounter they also are dealing with sh*t in their own way as best they can.
When Pat (Joe Wilkinson) picked up Kath's letter, I knew they were destined to be together, and for me that meant a happy end to After Life. These two characters were the ones I worried about the most, and didn't want them to be alone and sad.
Morgs is such a class act, smart, witty, incredibly believable and superb timing. Bet she scrubs up really well too 😊. And you can tell she’d be a right laugh. Marriage material right there ❤
I loved this show… had to watch it sometimes looking through my fingers in disbelief, but that was the absolute genius in writing, acting and production. The scene with the barrister at dinner was the best case in point.
Best Tim Key cameo yet. The detail he brought to a one-scene role is wonderful. Love him in Alan Partridge, too. Diane Morgan is brilliant in this show as well!
First time I saw Kath in series 1, I thought she’d irritate the fuck out of me. Come the end of series 3, I loved just wanted to give her a hug and a cup of tea and tell her I’m here if she needs to talk.
You know ironically that scene with the teacher really made me reassess my attitude to silly things because even though I agreed with him 100% and would say shit like that shamefully it took me that long to realise that just because its stupid to me doesn't mean it's not important to someone else. And even if I don't want to hear it there's no need to be that fucking harsh
Diane shows off her superb acting skills. She can pull empathy from the audience at the right moments. Her character in this feels like a prelude to her much stronger Motherland character.
The sad part is people will get turned off with some of the language specifically f**k and c**t and not continue watching. And that would be a damned shame as this is one of the best series I've ever seen. It's comical, sad, and that ending brought me to tears. It's a beautifully told story and you just have to look past the words some might find offensive (after all, that's how a lot of Brits talk) and watch for the beautiful story and message it tells. Oh and I love Kath. I recently finished Cunk on Earth on Netflix, a mockumentary, where Diane plays Philomena Cunk. It is absolutely hilarious.
I believe the word you're looking for is "bawled". "Balled" means something quite different. Not bad, just *very* different. Sorry to trample on your emotional post. Couldn't help it.
I'm not an emotional person. I very rarely get teary eyes (forget about crying). That Yoga scene, as unrealistic as it was (no way the instructor would react that way), got me so frigging close to crying when I first saw it. Funnily enough, most dramas I see get nowhere near that reaction from me, I think it's because it felt so real in After Life, which is something reoccurring in this show (the kid with cancer was another moment) Most movies overdo it, with a whole orchestra shouting "PLEASE CRY NOW", and cinematic shots in great looking but unnatural angles, and the whole ordeal feels fake even with top tier actors. This show was so authentic, and I think it's why it hits so hard. I see real life, I don't see a movie/show
When Kath said "I'm so lonely" that hit harder than a ton of bricks ngl. Ik alot of people have already said it but great acting from everyone, especially Diane Morgan
What I took from her character is how they made her look at the beginning, she was the butt of the joke and someone to be laughed at. Then it showed you why she was like that. We probably all know or knew someone like that in a workplace so it makes you stop and question your own actions towards people because you don't know what they might be going through. Generally people aren't bad (yes there are exceptions) so just be nice. The yoga scene really makes you feel and if you don't there's probably a swinging brick where your heart should be. It was a nice touch seeing her find someone at the end.
When she said "I'm so lonely" I felt that
Well, you better leave, cause youre bumming everyone out
Me too friend, (>'-' )>
So am I, but still not as lonely as when I used to sit on a sofa next to someone who didn't get me!
Best wishes, to you. 🌞
why I get bad days also but hope all is ok with
The way she slagged Colin off, she deserves it
Imagine if Kath suddenly started the date with, "Hello who are you?" and proceeded to ask her dates odd questions about history
No 'hello,' just 'Who are you, and what's your game?'
Yep. 'Super olden times'.
Or she tells a story about her mate Paul and the time he look LSD with a couple of swingers
The scene at the laughter yoga broke my heart. Ironically, though, when people who repress their sadness attempt to laugh heartily, they eventually begin to sob and the deep sadness emerges. It's an interesting phenomenon...
You'd think they would have given her a hug and tried to make her feel better, just shows how superficial our culture is becoming these days.
Tbf, a real laughter yoga coach wouldn't have done that...

At least she is going out! I just sit at home and am very lonely because all the locals hate me. Yes, very true about the yoga class lol 🙄

“You got a practice?” “No need, done all that, got my certificate & everything” Love Kath 😂

A lovely arc to both characters. Gervais has a reputation for a sort-of meanness but he's the opposite. Think of the David Brent movie.
“Can I keep him?”
Got to say, that’s a phenomenal bit of writing and acting.
Honestly, it’s just so heartbreaking.

The teacher part was excellent very accurate I would say.
He needed an "elbow" to the nads
Diane Morgan is just one of the very best comedy actresses we have. Total class
“Kath” best one on the whole show…the acting, the voice etc. Hilarious
That's Diane Morgan's normal voice... haha.. but I know what you mean.. she's the best!
It's her real voice lol
*"hilurious"
They are all brilliant
Kath dressed very well throughout this series.
she always does, she's got the body to rock anything!
The yoga scene was so moving and well acted, I hated the teacher though. Bless her ❤️
The Yoga teacher is played by Cole Anderson-James who’s a pretty popular TH-camr nowadays.
I’d give anything to have a Kath in my life she’s lovely 🥰
hope you find one mate

The last episode of this series was bloody hard enough to watch but her line at 5:52 absolutely broke me.. Diane Morgan is extra special
Kath’s an absolute legend
I think Kath is absolutely gorgeous! I love how she does her hair, I would date her in a second! (Yes, I know she's only acting)
Any red-blooded man would date the gorgeous Diane Morgan / Kath / Philomena Cunk. Shame Diane is married.
Nice jugs as well 😂
The way she shrugs her shoulders when she's asked why she didn't help 😂😂😂😂
I heard a few seconds of "Both Sides Now" and I've already got shivers.
It wasn't "both sides now" it was "the wind" by Cat Stevens.
Tim Key played the role of the teacher perfectly, I would argue that it needs a spinoff
he is too two-dimensional
I thought he was brilliant!
@@DrWhom It doesn't have to be in 3D.
He discusses it a bit on the Off Menu podcast - the entire episode is so funny, made me a Tim Key fan.

check out Mandy -its written by her too.
also check out Cunk on Britain
Also the Philomena Cunk bits. It's absolutely hilarious.
and Philomena Cunk!
Search “Philomena Cunk”. Diane Morgan is genius.
Fantastically acted. As for Kath, when she called him a c*nt, I laughed out so loud. Another classic part of this brilliant series.

Oh wow! That just took me on a whole journey! I can’t believe it made me tear up at the end
Diane ❤❤❤
I can't stop coming back to this video because that bit where she says "I'm so lonely" just fucking hits me where I live.
The "absolute bunt" (nod to Eric Idle) joke was so perfectly set up and delivered. Gut-buster!

"Im off duty"
