I am new to this particular forum and have spent ages reading the thread from start to finish. Interesting comments, I have realised how unobservant I am. I just enjoy LRTC for what it is a lovely period programme. If I was looking for inconsistencies all the time I wouldn't enjoy it so much. Not meant as a criticism of those of you that find them by the way.

I love all the characters and think the acting is superb, far superior to a lot of drivel that is on. I look forward to watching it each week and there are not many programmes on at the moment I can say that about.

I have one question for Angelheart if she would be kind enough to answer me. Is Alf ( don't know the actors name) actually singing, it seems as if it is him but I know how clever they are with miming these days. If it is him tell him he has a great voice please. BTW I think your voice tone is just perfect for a gentlewoman of the time.
 
It makes for fascinating viewing on both counts, Julia.
I think we the viewer empathize with someone like Dorcas. We see her aching and we see the repressed
passion in her so we sit back and watch hoping that we eventually get to see a payoff for her (and,
vicariously, for ourselves.) And even if she strives on she still has that repressed passion inside her
just lurking, waiting, I don't think she can escape it. It is who she is.
The fun is in watching how it all evolves--will she get her man? Will she conquer her aching heart?
Will we see something that will trigger that passion we know is smoldering inside her? Of course
the degree of "interesting" depenRAB on the actor playing the part and how well they project that
smoldering passion. You, Julia, as Dorcas give us so much to be interested in. I mean, even back
when you were Lynda Day you had this fabulous talent of projecting your emotions through your eyes.
That innate ability is what makes a great actor/actress. I've always thought you must be an old soul
and have experienced a lot of deeply felt emotions to project the way you do. They could not have
cast a better person to play Dorcas, who is also this very deeply feeling, passionate person who for
whatever reason has to keep it bottled up inside her. That ability to project such depth creates a
vulnerability that's very attractive to the viewer. We want to see Dorcas achieve some connection that
enables her to release her passions. And passions/romance don't necessarily have to be in a sexual context to be interesting. I find Dorcas interesting to watch when she shows ANY heightened emotions--whether she
is angry with someone, or hurt, or even laughing out loud. I think giving Dorcas a love interest is just the
obvious way of doing that, but it's equally interesting to watch in the other ways, too.
You have brought Dorcas to life with such depth that I want to know more about her. And I think it must
be quite something to know you personally as well. It would be a true privilege. ---Sherry
 
Enjoy tonight's episode--I probably won't have access to it until Tuesday so I'm really looking forward to your comments about it tonight! :)

Blueribbon: I LOVE your story so far!! You are a wonderful writer. Please continue writing more--I love imagining what Dorcas and Timothy's childhood was like together! :D
 
Thomas's role tonight was so preposterous that the poor guy couldn't help hamming it for all he was worth. The whole show is becoming a self-parody.
 
How can you say that Rushton was your back up man for Dorcas?:eek: My choice was Mr Dellafield the school master:) Now that was hot!!! Dorcas wouldn't have been right with Rushton, no way. One of my own Mr Dellafield - a good northerner!!!

Nice to see Rushton get flustered though.

I also thought that the Queenie and Twister tale in this episode was comical. Good match.

I'm with you on the Pratt's sticking up for Dorcas, but do find that they are now getting more of an airing as the series goes on.

Roll on tomorrow night - Episode 6. :D:D
 
Thanks, k!

I have a question for you Brits: Since Timothy had one of his brothers take over as Squire when he moved to London, would he still be addressed as "Sir" Timothy or not?
 
There's an awful lot of public kissing in Candleford it would seem. I actually find it more acceptable with Minnie and Alfy (given their social standing) than I do when Laura does it. With Laura it seems a little more risqu
 
:( Aww TT. Hey we knew the writers lost the plot last series:yawn:
I'm just enjoying the characters (even Twister;)) and the dialogue - Minnie's newly found honesty and Pearl calling Ruby 'uneccesarily buoyant'. Or maybe that's me!!

I think Daniel could grow on me:o And maybe Sidney gets his 'Ma' & Pa together again. :D
