Not that far off though. Had them in ww2 at any rate

Presumably they had to build a circular track around the moondial for the cameraman to do the spinning thing.

Straight on, or break for a brew?

What was that? The second footman and his sweetheart?

I do like the music. The repetitive notes of the piano and the strum of the banjo....

I was going to say that I'm not quite at the end yet, but I am now. Quite happy to go straight on.

It's very atmospheric.

Straight on for me. I can't wait to see JP properly

Hmm. That giggling was certainly a bit suggestive. Minty might be walking into more than she bargained for.
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
M1795537OCVirn
And here she comes!!!

Are we starting again?

We have. Hurry up!

Manic smoke machine in operation! Those things either don't work, or do too much!
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
AnneArthur
This is scary.
 
AnneArthur
Minty to the rescue.

Who are all these horrible children?
 
M1795537OCVirn
Would World's son be the New World?

I was wondering if the little girl was the daughter of his friend Devil . . .

No, the ones chanting 'Devil's daughter'.

I've been thinking.... E. L. .... the initials on that small headstone. Tom short for Edward?

She's certainly going to notice if you talk to yourself like that.

This is so gripping and it doesn't give its secrets up too easily.

If Miss Raven meets her Victorian counterpart, do they vanish in a puff of smoke?
 
M1795537OCVirn
Definitely still Servalan, though, I think you'll agree.

Cresswell is a great writer! And the adaptation is pretty good, too.

Yes, very much so. I think Servalan would like her silver snake necklace, too.
 
AnneArthur
Why do I think the girl is blind?

Ah, not blind - she has a birthmark.

Where do you come up with this stuff? It's short for Araminta.

This is very good - I don't know where it's going at all. The last two next week?
 
M1795537OCVirn
Sad to think next week is the last of it!

Yes - although I think that six episodes is about right.
