Sooo much pooping

btw, I thought it was lovely to hear Timothy referring to Shelagh as "mum" (Mum's spent all day making Apple Charlotte... etc)

 

I thought Timothy's character was developed well and the young actor who played him was excellent. His throwaway line of 'That's awful' was almost hidden but captured some of the conflicting emotions of that episodes plotline for Shelagh and Patrick (don't want to give away the plot for anyone who hasn't watched it)

 

Miranda Hart was brilliant in the last episode and throughout the scenes with her and her husband were often very touching.

I think he has turned out lovely too

 

I do love the interaction between Mr and Mrs Chummy. Such devotion. I do think there is a lot of scope with the remaining characters. I did love Jenny Lee, but I thought she seemed bored and not frustrated during her husband to be's cousins labour. I do think it is right she moves on. I am looking forward to the Christmas episode and the new series

It was really lovely to have a child so happy for his dad to be remarried and so accepting of his new mum. (And of them wanting to adopt a baby).

If this had Eastenders or Coronation Street or Emmerdale scriptwriters, there would be a whole load of nastiness surrounding it.

 

I also very much agree with the comment about Chummy's husband. I had been wondering if he wold go and do some straight talking to Lady ChummysMum, but his gentler approach was much more in keeping with the style of the programme, and was actually much better to watch. I don't want too much gritty realism in this sort of programme, I like a bit of escapism with mild peril, from time to time.

Yes, I watched the interaction between Peter and Lady Browne with trepidation as the relationship had been 'difficult' in the past. I liked the way they portrayed the formality with senior family members too; I remember always calling a great aunt 'Aunt (then) surname' as that was the polite way to do it, and a neighbour was always 'Mrs (then) surname'.

 

That interaction between Peter, Chummy and her Mama was very touching, and lovely to see.

yes it was a nice ending. I have read all the books and felt Cynthia could have got "her man" too - in the books she becomes a nun - has a breakdown and ends up marrying a widower. Trixie marries a diplomat not a vicar. I was amazed at the fact they were all so posh and nicely spoken. I trained in the 1980's and all "The London girls" were from all over the British Isles. Didnt have many Londoners till years later who joined to train. We also wore the uniforms they wore in CTM - even if you had a perfect figure they made you look a frump. They were held together by safty pins and heavily starched so you often got allergic rashes from the starch. The shoes - ooh dont get me started - frumperooni - horrid. The caps we made with the help of a toothbrush. Those were the days ................
