I follow the series from the beginning to its sudden end, and I'm really grateful for all the things I was able to learn during that time. But I'm sorry to say that The Flatmates still now deserve a real end, maybe a last episode where Michal returns or Alice finally finds the right person for her. Don't know. I'll be waiting for answer and I wish the best for all the team.

Brisbane, Australia
My favourite history about my flatmates was when I lived in Australia for arround eleven and half monts this was the excellent experience for my because Mahamet, Nasly and Lina were for me the excellent friends same the brothers and sisters.

Charly, Philippines
The memory still lingers in my mind when I first start as a blogger of bbclearningenglish more specifically with the flatmates. I was able to know the members as the episodes went on. And the most memorable for me is the question how do I prepare myself if I go out, apart from that is the question what do I prepare to hide talents or voice it out like a trumpet. And through the flatmates I was able to express my inner self through sending comments in every episode. It was quite uneasy for me, but it was challenging paticularly on my grammar and how to compose sentences. And the most important part is I had fun doing it and I am looking forward to do it everyday to the best of my knowledge in speaking english in work. With this regard, thank you so much for being a part of me.

Matthias, Switzerland
Thank you very much for those episodes. I enjoyed listening to the flatmates a lot. The problems in their lives seemed to be real and you managed to portray the characters in a very kind, humane way. By the way, Helen has a very sexy voice, if you don't mind me saying.

Can, Turkey
hello everybody, especially I want to say,can creators create a new program such like flatmates? I could not join to read and improve my english because of when I knew the flatmates, it was episode 150, cos of that I wanna begin from start

Mage,Turkey

Thanks a lot!!!

Daly, Cambodia
Flatemates is one of my favorite program on BBC. I did download some to share my younger brother.

Chengfat, Hong Kong
It is very good to me, I hope it can be carry on.

Nidhin Chacko, India
The series Flatmates was always so curious and quite interesting. It has helped to give a wide view of our daily-life English in a simple way, even if it's grammar ,vocabulary or phrases. Moreover, it was presented in a funny way. Instead of giving a send off, we could have sent them on a holiday for sometime. I feel something missing...and I wish some alternatives should be made.

Elizabeth,Viet Nam
It is really great-(+)-(+)-

Angel, Taiwan
Thanks to flatmates, thanks to BBC! I really had a good time learning flatmates. The Flatmates is always so interesting and funny, especially of the episode Dr. Laver and Alice were stuck in the lift, it was so funny that I laughed every time I listen to it.The language points of each episode are very useful, I really learned a lot from them.I hope BBC could create a new soap opera just like The Flatmates!

KDS, Korea
I will miss live Flatmates..But still so many episodes I should go through..via Archive..Thanks again!!!

Ullah, Bangladesh
Flatmates ! One of the great creations of BBC ! It reminds me of those happy moments when I myself was a flatmate of some good people. Flatmates also helping me very much to learn English. Thanks to BBC. Thanks to all.

Aisha, Kuwait
Oh my... It's kind of bitter to think that I can't feel again characters in the flatmates full of life and wit and that I can't interact with them, which has been indirect though. To recollect times I've spent with the flatmates, I've picked up lots of background knowledge on English and the cultural features melted in their lifes. I think it's really contributed a lot to improving my English ability so that I've easily been in preparaion for getting matured as an international person. Now I think without the flatmates, I would not get a great deal of improvement in the colloquial part of English and self-confidence. Thanks million, the flatmates! And I also look forward for you to coming to us with another awesome program for people who love learning Enlgish who living in all over the world. I believe you wou't meet our expection. Bye)

Ehsernta, Hong Kong, China
It's been quite a few years since I started browsing in BBC Learning English. When I started, I wasn't really interested and was about to give up.However,I was held back because of the fun in "The Flatmates". It really helped me to get a stack of daily phrases and improve my listening and speaking in English. It's really a pity for "The Flatmates" to come to an end. But let's just say "The Flatmates" had been really interesting for me all along and the activities related were exciting also. A big thanks for Nuala and BBC Learning English.

Ukraine
thanks! they were helpfull!

Mimi, Japan
I enjoyed 'The Flatmate' very much. It was one of my pleasure to use 'bbc learning English.com'. I really hope that the new series will start.I like Helen the best, by the way. Her charactor is so alike with me.

You know? I really really like voices of characters, especially Helen's voice. I think she's a gentle girl. I tried but I couldn't ape her voice. I'll be sorry if i can't listen to Helen anymore. Hope to listen to her next time. Thanks for the good story & the knowledge that i can get. Love you all.:x:x:x:x

KSH, Myanmar
I wonder why the episode stopped surprisingly. The episode helps my children and friends a great deal in learning English especially in speaking skill. Listening is limited to us as internet connection here is very poor. Anyhow, we hopefully expect continuation of the episode or similar programme on BBC Learning English Web page in near future. Thanks & Regards

MrStone, Vietnam
So sad as hearing this news. I learned a lot of lessons about English here. Flatmate is a best friend of mine that I always visited him everyday. I really missed him so much if I was so busy that I could not see him regularly. Flatmate ends, what I can say. Thanks Flatmate and whoever did create him so much. Hopefully, one day I can see a new friend of Flatmate on the BBC website.

Ali, Persia
it is somehow saddenning . I really learned lots of things specially from Tim , and the work on whole was a fantastic creative one , I hope bbc will continue flatmate or start another soup opera as alternative

Latitia, France
Hi,I really hope we could enjoy new flatmates episodes. For two years I have been followed all the episodes whilst I was studying my English. I liked all the flatmates, it was a funny way to improve English, and discover culture around the world with the comments. see you very soon

Antonella, Italy
After reading so many sad and thankfull messages I'd like to add my comment too. I assume that you have a good reason to finish the program as I got addicted to the Tuesday's appointment with the Flatmates as many. I still remeber getting prepared to listen, then pressing the listen button of a new episode and feel the challenge of understanding the flatmates. Sometimes I could understand everything and sometimes I totally misunderstood part of the dialogues. what a frustration! However sending you comments about personal related experiences it's my favourite memory of the program. In this way I have build up a number of little episodes about my life in english which I guess can be very usefull and at hand when I will be engaged in a conversation with a native-speaker. Thank you all!!!

Chun, China
It's great pity that the Flatmates has ended. I have a happy year with this soap opera. I reckon that Tim is a realistic role. Thank you for bringing us such a good program.

Paul, Hong Kong
Hello! I am very sorry for the stop of The Flamates. For many years, I have been watching the continuation of the stories, when I am learning English among them. They are very passionate and friendly. Therefore, I hope the stories will continue! Here, I thank for BBC to put a large amount of invetstments to build up the world-wide communications

May, China
It is thankful to be with The Flatmates when I experienced university time,hard job-hunting and the beginning of working

Sean, South Korea
Oh my... It's kind of bitter to think that I can't feel again characters in the flatmates full of life and wit and that I can't interact with them, which has been indirect though.

Rubens, Brazil
well, I`d listened to the flatmates two twice a week, for improving my english, and now...you can create other soap opera for us, please we need it!

Denis Rocha, Brazil
I really enjoyed the flatmates, especially the one about the bad haircut. I also enjoyed the quizzes; and the opportunity of listening to some real English. I hope The Flatmates will soon be available in one single file, so I can download the entire series onto my MP3 player. Wonderful job!

Sucinti, Myanmar
I am still expecting new episodes. I love everybody from the Flatmates.

Sebastiana, Spain
It's been a pleasure to follow your excellent program. Congratulations and that end is only a short period of time

Younes, Morocco
Hello,I really enjoyed listening to the Flatmates episodes , it was a very useful way for me to improve my prononciation, I'm so sorry that this interesting soap opera has come to an end . Thank you

Da, Vietnam
Flatmates is a great companion for English learners around the world. We have been learning a lot from it: the real accent, good plot, English in the real life, etc. Thanks for creating such a wonderful program. We are so sad to say goodbye to it. Hope to have a similar one like that in the very near future. Best wishes to Helen, Alice, Tim, Michael and Khalid.

Giang,Vietnam
Hello everybody! i don't know what to write,actually i've just joined this program,so,it's mean that i have never known it before. But it doesn't meant that i don't know anything about Flatmates,because of your comments,i've read it,and i think that it should have been very funny program,like a best friend-that without him,you lost almost everything-that's all,hope that a new program will on the way coming-like a new best friend

Jane, Malaysia
So sad but still thanks to Flatmates, I realy learned and enjoyed here!

Maya, Poland

Phuong, Vietnam
It's so pity when Flatmates program ends. I collected so much knowledge from it. But I think we will have a new idea for studying English, instead of Flatmates. Hope that we will contribute our ideas.

Rahaf, Syria

Hi, guys! I'd like to say a big THANK YOU to the BBC for putting together such an entertaining course. It's truly a joy to follow the adventures of these characters, mostly because the voices and accents are real and the story-lines are contemporary and relatable. It's not hard to be hooked on the charm of this program. I'm just just sad that it's over!

Whatever may come after this, wish you guys another massive success.Asides from that, I also hope there is gonna be some video of a direct interview with the Flatmates voice-talent team. It should be nice to meet them all in the flesh.

Ernesto, Chile
It's so sad to realize our flatmates will no longer be with us.I waited every week for a new chapter and really wanted Michal coming back, see how Tim became a great bussines man and Alice finding a new love.Well, I supouse now I'll have to put my imagination to work and maybe keep this story running.Bye my flatmates.

I discovered the Flatmates late and I was immediatly happy and after few episodes addict to listen them all .I also improve my common english and the understanding of the speaking.Just one remark: what a pity there's no listening of the vocabulary with the explanations of the words.Go on with a new serie like this!!Don't let me alone with nothing like this!!!

Nour, Syria
Thank you very much for this very interesting and thought-provoking series, I am sad that it's come to an end, as all the friends here are, we lived with the characters, they really became our own friends, but as life goes on, everything comes to and end, and so did our best flatmates. To Helen, Alice, Tim, Kahlid, Michal, we're going to miss you, we love you all.Once again I do thank the BBC learning English team for the effort and time.

Jane,South Korea
I'm so sad that Flatmates is finished with not-good-ending,and Kitty hasn't stick out after Tim called Helen. Why???

Amal, Pakistan
Hi,its impossible for me to present my sadness at this moment,the Flatmates not only improved my learning abilities,rather they did more great job then this, that is ,they encourage me to speak, write ,in better and appropriate words.I hope that the team will come in another shape more skillfully then this one,please dont make me dejected.

Amir
Oh no, why? Maybe sounds crazy but they have been like my friends for 2 years, and it seems all of them are leaving me so sudden, I can't help my self crying, I'm used to check this page every Tuesdays, and now... . At least please tell us what soap opera these guys(Helen, Tim ...) are working on, so that we can follow that program.Thanks

Hamsa, India
HI,I was in love with Flatmate episodes.And i badly miss all the characters in it especially Helen. Wow! what a great voice and presentation.I am really shocked to see that flatmate has come to an end abruptly.Well, I would like to thank BBC and flatmate team in helping me to improve my vocabulary, grammar, listening skills.

Jony, indonesia

Nam Sung Hurn, Korea
I'm so sad that the flat mateis end

Abdel, France
Since two years now, I' ve been pushing a lot to improve my English.I' ve managed to do so much thanks to the flatmates episodes, which were my unique tools to improve my english so I really hope that you're going to replace it by another soap opera.So thanks a lot to all the team.So thanks a lot to all the team.

Lawrence, Hong Kong
I Started learning English from the Flatemates about two years ago. Ever since I read every episode of the course. I found it very helpful in improving my speaking english as well as my english hearing ability. It's a wonderful english learning programme and I feel sad when I know it is coming to an end.

Nikos, Greece
I had a very pleasant time improoving my English knowledge during a holiday and what a surpise I finished the whole course in almost two months. The characters of the story created from the everyday life and the successful dialongs among them offered to me some colourful touches into my mind. Thanks a lot the whole team for this effort.

Memismo, Spain
I liked the most the story about fake watches and that lady on Tim's back. A good thriller plenty of crooks that became to an happy end.And I still remember a memorable audio clip with Nuala and Callum at the backstage of the International Learning English Awards. Very funny.

Tereza, Czech Republic
Hello, I'm really sorry about the end of The Flatmates. I don't know the reasons but I hope we will soon see them or any other soap opera again.

Karen Yeung, Hong Kong
Why is this wonderful soap opera ended? It's already become part of my very important routine in learning English. It's a pity to have the characters' adventures ended in this way!

I love every Flatmates episode. It's very sad and I think it's a insensible mistake to cut it without a end. Perhaps you thought that people has no emotion with stories like that. I friend of mine read every week the stories to his sons translating it. Next week I'm going to ask what their children did. I think they cried a lot.

Of course everything is able to end,i admit this reality but i can not bear it,you can't even imagine that how greatly Flatmates has contributed to increased my knowledge through vocabulary and grammar.I pleads to bbc and every person organizing the episodes that please dont finish this helping series.Or start it in any other way so that numberless students like me,get incredible help in improving their English.

Oh I'll miss this guys a lot. But could you tell us why The Flatmates came to an end?

Mary L., Colombia
It´s very hard for us, just English learners,to act as soap opera writers!Please try to continue the Flat Mates or produce another one. You got all the tools and experience. Help us to carry on learning through your series.

Luscinia, Brazil
I am missing The Flatmates.I have loved to learn with them every Tuesday!!Please, bring them back!!!!

Giovanna, Italy
I'm very sorry to hear about the end of the flatmates.They were both funny and useful .

Jean Marie, France
Everything has its end, the Flatmates too. I've no favourite memories because in my opinion the Flatmates success was to plunge the listener into a new situation in every episode and we had to cope with, as in the real life. Consequently I rarely understood the very first line, e.g. surprising Tim's accent, new context, new subject, so, among all the BBC LE's themes that I quite easily understood the Flatmates dialogues were the ones I had to listen to several times. These forced me to think about the whole story, understand actor's mood, use language points in my comments being sure that I have well understood the situation and perhaps a little bit more! True or false, never mind! essential is to try it and I will find out my misunderstanding in the next episode or later. As far as I'm concerned I think it was profitable, although I've been sometimes deeply frustrated discovering my weakness, but no pain no gain! I would say "And now for something completely different" like the catchphrase in TV series Monty Python's Flying circus. I am looking forward to the BBC LE's great imagination. Thanks to all the Flatmates team.

Herman, Indonesia
The most useful part for me in the Flatmates series is the language point. It's a great help for me to improve my English. Kinda sad to hear that it has ended.

Jules, France
I agree with Grazyma's comments,why do you not continue the Flatmates saga ?, it was very interesting until now and we would like to know what will happen next.

CA, Brazil
Hi,I think the flatmates were one of the best things of the BBC site. I'm very sad with the end of this series.I loved the history and the tools for help us learning english, like the audio,vocabulary and so on,so many good things. The characters are the best, especially Helen,my favorite, she's very similar to me in many aspects (smiles). Well, I was very curious to see what would happen with Alice and Paul, Tim and Sally,but I think the flatmates will come back some day, and I'm enjoying them on you tube channel!!!Please BBC tell us the reason for the end of this series and consider our ask for the return of it. Kisses.

Janaina, Brazil
