Ser 1 - Ep 5
Well I must say, I have quite enjoyed watching this episode again. Zillah was in fine fettle in this one - I think she stole the episode!
I loved the 'vexing' and rubbing up the wrong way of Mr
Rushton by Dorcas. Good to see her fighting for her own corner. I would have done everything exactly the same I think and enjoyed needling the inspector the most. (I must admit though, I couldn't look at the actor who played Mr Rushton without seeing Christopher Plummer - a bit of an uncanny resemblance on my part). Daft init?
Typical man of the times though I thought, questioning how she got to run the post office - not something a woman should be doing in those times. Women, in his mind, should be looking after the children and shackled to the kitchen sink. I don't think so!!!
At least Sir Tim didn't come out and say it, He skirted it quite nicely I thought.

It was nice to see though, how Mr Rushton changed in the end. In my view, Dorcas was still meddling if not in an obvious, direct manner.
This episode is on my favourites list, but let's hear it again for Zillah - yay!!!!
