Lark Rising To Candleford Series 3

Comments

  • This is the first episode this series I accept really enjoyed. I did think the song storyline was naff (a song is sung and information technology changes everybody's life - yeah, right), and in fact the whole series seems to be a lilliputian eerie in feel. Exercise you think somebody decided that the supernatural was the way to get?

    Only and then many of the characters were on song(!) Minnie was peculiarly delightful, with the Pratt sisters and Thomas really calculation to the comedy. I did get fed upwards with Robert. His stiff-necked pride has now been done to decease, I feel.

    Merely, did the trailer show Sidney at decease's door? In which case, why is Dad non summoned to exist at his bedside?

  • Simply, did the trailer show Sidney at decease's door? In which instance, why is Dad not summoned to be at his bedside?

    Also right. Possibly Miss Bossy Boots doesn't think that he has any rights!

  • Only, did the trailer show Sidney at death's door? In which case, why is Dad not summoned to be at his bedside?

    Ahh cometh the 24-hour interval, cometh the man SS:D..........but probably non...........he's probably changed his name to Dibber and run away with Nan:D:D

    We shall 'ave to meet on Tuesday when RT comes out won't we my chick.............ooohh I've come up over all Oxfordshire, time for bed methinks:yawn:

  • Oh wow, I totally forgot about Nan! But wow, yes, I wonder if that hike to Fordlow was only too much for the lovebirds. ;)

    Must say though, tonight'due south episode was back on rails for me, and so many funny moments and I loved the confrontation between Robert and Dorcas - that's 4 weaknesses! LOL

    All of my favourite characters had some great scenes to work with. Pearl and Ruby-red were hilarious. Thomas overcome with the snogging... hehe That scene around the dinner table at the mail function where Dorcas and Laura are simply left looking on in bewilderment.

  • I actually enjoyed tonight'southward episode. At that place were several laugh out loud moments. Twister's comment virtually Dorcas's interfering being well known as far every bit Fordlow and maybe fifty-fifty Oxford was nifty. Also Thomas passing out due to lack of air and Robert'south four weaknesses speech.

    Information technology's also so beautiful to wait at. The scene with Alf standing in the cornfield with a stormy sky above was particularly lovely.

    If at that place's ever a take a chance for a mention of JD it must be during next calendar week's episode. Even if the poor bloke doesn't make an appearance Dorcas would surely drop him a line to permit him know his son was so ill. We alive in hope! Curlicue on next week ...

    This is the beginning episode this series I have actually enjoyed. I did think the vocal storyline was naff (a song is sung and it changes everybody'due south life - yeah, right), and in fact the whole series seems to be a footling eerie in feel. Do you retrieve somebody decided that the supernatural was the fashion to go?

    But then many of the characters were on song(!) Minnie was especially delightful, with the Pratt sisters and Thomas really adding to the one-act. I did get fed upwards with Robert. His potent-necked pride has now been washed to decease, I feel.

    Merely, did the trailer show Sidney at death's door? In which example, why is Dad not summoned to be at his bedside?

    I'k a long time lurker on this thread but had to post that I agree with the above. This is the showtime episode of this serial I have liked (I was getting worried as I've loved the previous ii).

    Hopefully I will continue to relish the residuum of it.

  • Too correct. Possibly Miss Bossy Boots doesn't think that he has any rights!

    whats with all the hostility for dorcas?
    uncool :absurd:

  • I did similar it :), but I just can't become into this series :(. I've got myself into a pickle and my encephalon is addled :cry:.

    Luckily I take heaven+, and then I'll simply scout the whole lot later :cool:

    I simply want to know where Geese Woman has gone to :eek:

  • I wondered about Nan and idea it was bad that she wasn't mentioned. I suppose in those days, as now, immature people got together and and so drifted apart, merely still I thought she would have got a mention.

    The song storyline was a flake thin merely they didn't have telly in those days and telly affects people'south thinking.

    I did enjoy last night'due south episode. It was but last week'southward that I establish laborious. I hope this series continues well and then peradventure it volition come to a natural finish, there are just so many stories of countryfolk which they can get out of this meagre book. I must say I have generally enjoyed the tv set series amend than I enjoyed the book but I exercise like fiction. The book provided a good basis for it of course.

    Regarding Sidney'due south begetter, I imagine he would exist sent for and that scene we saw at the end, with Sidney very ill, was before his dad had had time to arrive.

    I dear all the characters.

  • Enjoying reading the posts on here more than the program...glad we can disagree politely...

    Some lovely moments esp from Minnie, Pearl & Blood-red and even (pitiful TT) Twister and Sydney, and that baby was just ambrosial :o, only information technology's condign a twee soap.

    Continuity? Every bit well equally non-mention of Sydney's Dad or Alf's ex-true love, does Dorcas walk to Distraction Ascent now? And Edmund didn't look much like he'd been working in a field all day. :confused:

    I adopt the stories where anybody rallies round in a mutual cause and then adjacent week looks more than like it (I'thousand beginning to like Sydney and while he's at the PO at that place'due south nonetheless hope for JD:D)

    PS: Geese woman was really a man in dearest with Ruddy, who disguised himself so he could wander by the shop everyday. Unrequited, (southward)he's now living in Pontefract;)

  • I thought it was just me that wasn't enjoying it as much - don't go me wrong it's still a cute series that makes sunday nights a bit more bearable, but I feel in many means it has lost its way a bit and drifted as well far from the books. Last nights ep was by far the all-time after the first two weeks. I take to say I'm as well not very much enamoured with the new male Journalist totty either...

  • Someone said the program is condign rather twee, maybe then but I think that is part of its charm. I am aware that living in those days would non be as elementary and innocent equally is made out but, similar many Idiot box programmes, it is a grade of escapism from our hectic fast paced modern lives.

    I really dearest Minnie's comic performances - "their knees are different" when asked by Sidney how she could tell the baby was a girl. Too did I hear her say the baby'south "napkin" needed changing? :D

  • I thought it was just me that wasn't enjoying it equally much - don't go me incorrect it'due south yet a beautiful series that makes sun nights a bit more bearable, simply I feel in many ways it has lost its way a chip and drifted too far from the books. Final nights ep was by far the best later the start two weeks. I have to say I'one thousand as well non very much enamoured with the new male Journalist totty either...

    Agree with this. Best episode and so far in this series and hopes it continues just not enjoying or excited nigh it equally before.

  • I accept a feeling that "napkin" is actually what they said in those days. It was a general discussion for a functional piece of textile, and "nappy" is a twee modern derivative.

    living in those days would not be equally uncomplicated and innocent equally is made out

    That's putting it mildly. I think those men in the Waggon and Horses would have expected to see Emma covered in bruises the next day, and would have been very scornful of Robert if she wasn't. :(

  • I recall I must take missed some of flavor 2. This is flavor 3, right? Who was Nan? And was in that location an episode when Alf and Laura decided they were non for each other?

    Alf is starting to look a scrap hunky, this series.

  • but not enjoying or excited about it as earlier.

    And so many of united states are saying this.

    I think information technology is because the writers literally lost the plot afterward episode 9 of Series 2. Upwards to then, there was a natural storyline, with the characters changing and adapting and growing.
    JD played a huge function in this because he was a natural and believable counterfoil to DL. If he had stayed, the story line would take followed a natural arc with them sparking off each other - married or not. There would and then take been time to explore the roles of educated married women etc. In other words, new arcs.

    Instead of which, withal once more we have busybody spinster, lovelorn youngster (and how speedily Laura falls in love - every series), bucolic Lark Ascent.

    It is just deja vu - and just the hope that it will improve keeps me watching.

    That vocal ended upward getting correct on my wick. And Robert getting in a strop again. Ho hum.
    I still watch this prove, but I definitely think it'south lost its mode a little.

  • How many times are we going to have "Robert sulks cos his wife teased him once again"? It'due south getting a bit old, in a programme I'yard rather fond of.

    When he tried to apologise at the end with "Isn't a human being immune to make one mistake" we couldn't help only yell at the TV "One?" :D

    I was never really that involved in the JD storyline and so don't share the aforementioned thwarting others on here seem to have with his difference. Don't get me incorrect I didn't dislike the character I'm just not convinced that a married Dorcas is more than interesting than a single Dorcas.

    I similar that Dorcas is independent. I recollect she misses having a family - merely I don't think she misses the compromises having a husband would require. And now she's getting the old without the latter!!

    Anyhow - for me I like the comfort viewing. I like that I pretty much know what to expect and how things will turn out. That's what makes Sunday night viewing for me.

    I enjoyed last nights episode, I like the way that they are not very straightforward and open up to dissimilar estimation.
    Very sad not to run into Nan back, I guess that this is to clear the manner for the romance between Minnie and Alf which is sure to exist popular with usa all.
    Rebecca Knight who starred in Fanny Hill played Nan Carter
    and I can't notice anything to suggest that she appears again in LR

    he certainly is! not really noticed him earlier i adopt Robert

  • When he tried to apologise at the cease with "Isn't a man immune to make one mistake" we couldn't aid but yell at the TV "One?" :D

    Me too! Every flamin time.

  • the whole nan matter confuses me besides
    concluding series towards the end weren't they talking nigh union

    you guys should have never gotten attached to JD

    whatever love interest for dorcas(and Laura) volition start out with them feuding at first and will be gone by the stop the series

    the writers take to do that to keep the story going,yous knew that first fourth dimension you say JD that he would leave past the end of the series just like you know that Daniel volition leave by the end of this one

    napkins? nappys? nosotros call them diapers

  • I take a feeling that

    "napkin" is really what they said in those days

    . Information technology was a general word for a functional slice of cloth, and "nappy" is a twee modern derivative.

    That's rigth WW, remember terminal series Thomas changing Annie'southward napkins in the mail function

    I enjoyed last nights episode, I like the way that they are not very straightforward and open to different interpretation.
    Very deplorable not to run across Nan back, I judge that this is to clear the way for the romance between Minnie and Alf which is certain to be popular with the states all.Rebecca Knight who starred in Fanny Hill played Nan Carter
    and I tin't find anything to suggest that she appears once again in LR

    Not me I'm afraid IC, I don't recall they're suited at all, she's too daft for him and he's too responsible and sensible for her...........I personally hope things aren't heading that way...........but they probably will:rolleyes::D

    I don't mind the fact that Nan isn't there, just would like a mention of the fact that one time upon a time she was:)

  • That song ended up getting correct on my wick. And Robert getting in a strop again. Ho hum.
    I notwithstanding lookout man this show, merely I definitely think information technology'due south lost its style a little.

    I agree, I quite liked the final couple of episodes but this one not as much.

    Getting a flake fed upwards with Laura and her love life and Robert getting a bee in his bonnet is getting tiresome. Robert - smile and lighten up for in one case you lot miserable sod!

    Equally for Alf and Minnie. Please god, no. I like them seperately as characters and friends just not together. I too wonder what has happened to Nan

    Glad it'southward non only me that'southward noticed!

    I'll carry on watching if only for the comical Thomas and the Pratt sisters.
