Lark Rise To Candleford Series 3

No, you daft happorth - how can anyone miss you when you are still posting! :)

In case you didn't realise, Angelheart (post 102) is JS. Well, people like me think it is her, others disagree.

So, now, you did not miss her during her posting!
That is what DC meant.

Hope your work was not too onerous. Its not very nice having to work during college years and I do sympathise. Still, my own children did (well, not during term time, but during their hols) and it paid their college bar bills and other fripperies!

TT - I do understand about modern folk being nesh (Northern saying for being soft) - and with a freezer and cupboarRAB full of food I am not overly concerned about being cut off. But, it stanRAB to reason that the poor of those days did not have too many reserves of food or anything, including materials for heat, so they would have really suffered if the cold spell had gone on for a long time.

I was just showing some empathy for those times.:o
 
I can't tell you how much I ADORE Lark Rise to Candleford.
So much so that I can't bear to watch the last 3 episodes just yet, I just don't want it to end. I keep re-watching the first episodes. How sad is that?:rolleyes:
Just a small point. Mark Heap lived in our litle town in Devon as a young teenager and I knew him really well. The youngest of 4 sons of our local Methodist minister, my sister went out with his eldest brother, John for 6 years. Mark often used to come to our house for coffee and my abiding memory of him are games of Chinese Whispers in our front room in the early 70s. He was very quiet and sweet.
My sister is still in regular contact with John and Mark's parents came to see me a few years ago before they both died. Lovely people.
 
I'm another one who thought this episode was just odd -- I didn't really see connections between the story lines and they were all so choppy. It just didn't seem to flow for me at all.

Thomas is overly sanctimonious, and Ilove him, but I think they just made him look ridiculous in this ep. I mean, give the guy a break already! He's certainly not soft in the head, but you wouldn't know it if this was the only episode you'd seen.

And so much unexplained -- no real conclusion to any of the stories -- no explanation for what had all the folk acting so out of sorts. Are we to believe that it is the witch tree that is responsible for the lack of confidence Robert gets in his hanRAB and that Dorcas develops in herself (although this, in my opinion, would be a great lead-in for JD to return -- I know, I'm forever hoping on that one.)?

I do like the pagan/local history part of LRtC, but there has to be a point to it -- make it mean something. For example, the last time Dorcas was so out of sorts was when she had her "premonitions" about Sidney's welfare -- that was well-developed and ended up being believable. This ep, seems there was just a lot of incongruous bits in the mix -- still can't quite figure much of it out.

I agree that the series seemed to get off track in the infamous episode 9 of S2. Hope they regain their bearings soon. So far this series, I'm just puzzled.

But of course I'll still watch. :)
 
I'll just stop you there... your explanation, is not required :cool: (Team Margaret)

it also, doesn't change my current opinion on Dorcas, Laura, and Twister.. :D
 
Hi girl20! Welcome to a sweet hearted, friendly and alltogether very lark risery board (well... apart from the occasional dame Judi Dench mix-up - but let's move on from that...)

Nice that you've found your way to a nice series (a rare thing these days), famously described as a Sunday hug and a comfort to many of us at the end of the week (or for me, beginning since the beeb doesn't have the courtesy to show it's programmes out of the UK... :mad:)

And oh, you got the names right. ;)
 
:D:D:DI think I may have been watching Cranford when I typed that, I taped it over xmas and only just got round to watching the second bit....I am a numpty :p
 
Nice addition. Good to see the Pratts on side for the moment - until they find out Dorcas is with child!! That'll set the tongues wagging a tad.

Trying to pluck up the courage to actually start watching Series 2 now. I'm having Timothy withdrawls already.
 
i really dont understand how a man could be considered to be so loving and also have such a strong pride
they credit him with being this amazing father and yet he puts his pride before his families feeling
it just seems a bit selfish
 
Right, time for me to toddle off up the wooden hill. Thanks for the giggles tonight, and good luck reading that play Julia..
Krysten, you've your whole life ahead of you, there's all the time in the world to put your stamp on it. Give it time, and you'll soon find that you're carving your way out there. xxx

Night night all..xx
 
Great to see that the creative juices are still going strong!! Been away for a week, so it was great to catch up on the up and coming nuptuals and what's been going on so far. It couldn't be going any better:D:D

I've just read the other comments about a stage version of LR2C, but can't seem to get my head around that one somehow.

This month's copy of Woman and Home makes reference to Series 4 and that filming is due to start this month, but they didn't confirm if it's started yet or not.
