I’m so glad James cordon hasn’t neglected where he comes from and what gave him his opportunities in the first place after making it big in Hollywood.

[@alvinlam21]

Ngl he sold his soul to the Americans. Can see why he did tbh

[@sohailalrahi1047]

I totally agree. I absolutely love a James particularly on A League Of Their Own.
It's just a bit crap him being with those yanks with their sub-standard healthcare service most of the time.

Jesus christ why did they have to leave the show on a cliff hanger. ruth and James need to make season 4.

[@todders5256]

tbh i think they will cause they cant just leave it like that

[@lukestevenson5283]

I think they left it on a cliffhanger to see how people reacted to the episode as a whole and it was definitely a success. So I wouldn't be surprised if they either make a new series or make another episode next Christmas or something. The episode today was defo better than I thought it was going to be

[@littlemisseatscrispsforbre5353]

I was roaring at the TV when it ended. I was so excited and it was brilliant last night. I want it to come back.

[@joyenchanted13]

i imagine they left it on a cliffhanger to gage how many people want a series 4, and now they have an opening for a new storyline should they make another series.

[@staceytrolan5069]
