Lark Rise To Candleford Series 3
- Thread starter elprocks
- Start date
Dorcas is seriously doing my head in.. she an interfering self righteous busy body.. however, watch her manner change if you dare question any of her lifestyle choices.. she neeRAB to butt out.. 
Laura is almost as bad, she's a snobby bore...
the way they treat the poor housemaid, is terrible.. 
I also really dislike Twister, I don't know why, but there's something very unsavoury about this character
I used to adore this programme, but now find I record it, and fast forward through the characters I don't like..
Sorry Dorcas, Laura and Twister..

Maybe, because as we all know he completely forgets last years girlfriend, so minnie will be out of the picture
Fisher strolled in thru Lark Rise picking up an exhausted Emma and Annie on the way
Maybe Dorcas will sell the post office and will spend 1897 shoeing horses to make a living

I am on again, just finished watching ep 3 (illicit means and all that) but hey I can't wait until the show is on DVD to watch it!!!
Robert Timmins is being a prig once more in that episode, gosh one minute he is all mushy and the next he tells his wife that she has to know her place? Ok he apologized at the end but still, he is contradictory (not sure that's an English word), wonder if he would let anyone talk to Laura the way he speaks to his wife
LOVED the 4 weaknesses speech of Dorcas to him! Dorcas is my fav character from the beginning anyway. Even she is bossy and puts her nose in other people's businesses, but I think she wants the best for everyone
Minnie is adorable!!!
I hate that they call Sidney 'little man' it seems wrong to me.
ok going to read all the posts now

Very Important Visitor..........I'm guessing either Mr Rushton, Sir Tim (*keeping fingers crossed*) or maybe a mayor?!?

Thanks, Schnuki! 
The next scene I'm working on is going to get pretty steamy.

I want to join CAPOLCA
Me too Gorgeous Gal!
The first thing I'd insist upon would be the inclusion of sun glasses with the uniform....did you see how tango orange Larkrise was when Dorcus went to visit Robert?! Lord that was bright! Someone neeRAB to have a word with the lighting guy. Less is definitely more.
Otherwise a lovely cuddle of an episode... not the most taxing of storylines but I imagine that's to prepare us for the end of season build up over the next few weeks.
I'm almost ashamed to say I didn't miss Twister one bit. A whole episode without him for once ...maybe Larkrise was too bright for him too!
Completely love Minnie - she's a comedy genius! Definitely the star of the show and a complete scene stealer every time god bless her!
Larkrise festivals - no offence intended but you're all MAD!!!

Amazon have it for
hello guys! (newbie here! Just googled for a forum discussing this and thought I'd drop in and share my experience with the show. sorry if it is a long winded and rather epic post)
I am an american college student studying history who is new to London and has been checking out what kind of things are on your tv. As I was watching I found this show. I thought I had recognized it from a pbs special back home, but I had thought that was a one-off which was over. When I saw the previews here, they all said returning for series 3! So I started watching and have been delightfully enjoying the episodes so far. From wikipedia I have gathered that I have not seen 4 or 5 episodes of series 1 and none of series 2, and despite this I am still able to jump in and love it. (And at least now I have read the summaries so I have a basic idea of things.)
I like it because it is very well made. As a historically minded person, (I study it full time; all day, most days) I really admire how well this show does with historical accuracy. No period tv show can be 100% accurate, but this show does a good job of keeping strict in ways that really matter. It may be "light" drama, but it does manage to touch on some important social, political, and economic realities of the time. But it is also uplifting because often the characters rise to the occasion in times of adversity, which is nice to see. Win-win all around. Sweet, gentle, yet thought provoking. The show is also well made, really well written, and presented in a really lyrical sort of way.
This latest episode is a prime example. It had great moments of contrast. Sickness strikes the children in the middle of beautiful bright days. Sydney recognizes that the harvest represents a fun outing for he and his mother, but life and death for his frienRAB in lark rise. The excitement of Pearl Pratt at the notion of the death of one rich man with 5 daughters who need mourning clothes, contrasts with the idea that even with many deaths in Lark Rise no mourning clothes would be affordable.
One moment that stood out for me is when Syndey is sick and Dorcas tells him that everything thing she wants is him. A big moment for a child who seems to have spent most of his life being unwanted, and thinking that no one would want him. And nice to see him call back the sentiment, later when he gets better, which highlights how much good they both do for each other. Another interesting set of parallel plots of Archie and Sydney's measles. Both illnesses build to a head when Sydney recovers and joins in the world more and Archie lets go and fades away.
This one was full of little things like that, but also full of fun scenes like Miss Lane joining Twister in the shade, Daniel finding a very independant little Annie and Sydney's beetle crawling over Mrs. Brown.
I am not too familiar with putting names to faces with these actors, but I think that the whole ensemble (with special kudos to the children and babies this week) acts brilliantly on a consistant basis. Of particualr note in this episode for me would be the performances of Miss Lane (Julia Sawalha?), Queenie (Linda Bassett?), Sydney (?), Archie (?) and Alf (John Dagleish?) . (I hope I have matched the character and the actor; correct me if I am wrong)
All in all I really enjoy the show a lot, and it has been nice to settle in and watch with my flatmates before a busy week.

I know I've found my spiritual home here!
I'm sure none of you will find it sad when I tell you that I only watched episode 12 of the last series yesterday for the 1st time!!
You see the time had to be just perfect for me to sit down and wallow. I had the house to myself, the afternoon sun streaming in and the curtains blowing gently in the breeze, phone off and a big slice of chocolate cake..........oh yes, I did it proud and it didn't disappoint
I was going to point out my favourite characters but I can't, I LOVE them all, maybe I have the softest spot for Mark Heap as his brother John was my sister's boyfriend for 6 years in the 70s and Mark was often round at our place and I live about 20 yarRAB from where he used to live now.
Can't wait for new series but I'm horrified that it's only 6 episodes. What are they thinking of?
ps. Where was Robert in the final programme?
