OT - British TV

Yet it is infinitely better than what the american networks did to "Man About The House". I had watched that a few times on Canadian TV. Even though it was never a show I would go out of my way to catch, it was something I wouldn't mind having on for company when I was doing something mindless. When I saw the american version (Three's Company) I all but ran screaming from the room.

Howdy!

This reminds me of watching "Bonanza". Loved the show, esp. Hoss, but figured out as a kid, "I don't want to live next door to the Cartwrights on the Ponderosa Ranch; someone they know always ends up dead."

I found Chamomile Lawn and have watched the first 2 episodes... I've got to ask - This was on the telly? Not at the theatre? Bit shocking. Quite a lot of very adult ... situations. Full frontal nudity? We've got people who would blow up the tv studios if they dared show something like that.

A very young, very blonde Jennifer Ehle, behaving very un-Elizabeth Bennet-ish.

It's quite good, but like I said, it's kind of hard to get used to. I'm also embarrassed that we have become such prudes that this stuff shocked me.

I hope Hulu continues to try to bring more series to their service.

I'd even pay for this.

I'm going to hold onto the list I've started and recheck regularly.

It was on after the watershed (9:00pm) on Sunday evenings. Fairly typical adaptation of that sort of work. Have you read the book? As I remember, it was a fairly close adaptation.

Shown after the 9pm watershed - when more adult themed stuff is shown. Full frontal female is deemed acceptable after that time as long as it is not gratuitous. On this side of the pond we are much more hung up on gratuitous violence than adult activities.

The book was pretty adult too, as were her other books. By all accounts she was writing from experience!

Book was by Mary Wesley. Apparently she didn't start to write until she was about 70. I think I've read all her books.
