Just sad there were only two episodes!” Similar sentiments were shared by another viewer, who wrote on X/Twitter: “I love everything about this show, from the characters to the theme tune. I just wish it was back for a full series.” An additional fan told the BBC to stop “wasting time” and to commission another series, which was branded “perfection” – with another concurring: “We need more than a two parter.” Walker, speaking about the two-part special ahead of its broadcast, said it “conveys a hopeful message ultimately”, stating: “I think there’s a lot of joy in it. But if you can pick yourself up and be vulnerable and go again, even at an age where you thought everything would be sorted – and it’s not, your world’s falling apart a little bit – it’s still OK.” Nicola Walker in ‘The Split: Barcelona’ Walker described the episodes as “joyful”, continuing: “It’s Abi Morgan saying it’s OK when your world doesn’t hold up like you thought it would, the only thing you can do is get up, keep walking, and maybe go again.”
