The 100 Things Challenge - Person 06

[persiflage_1]

My sixth person of interest is Phryne Fisher of Kerry Greenwood's Australian lady detective series, who has been brought to life on screen recently by Essie Davies in the ABC series:

Yay for Phryne! I adore her :-)

[persiflage_1]

Me too! I hope they make more...

I read there was going to be a second series but, for the life of me, I can't remember where, so I can't check whether it was a solid fact or a rumour, or somewhere in between!

[persiflage_1]

Oh! That's interesting - I was talking to my mum about it yesterday (telling her to keep an eye out for it on Alibi) and I said I didn't know if there would be a second season given Kerry's only written 18 books and we've had 13 episodes so far... I was speculating whether she would write outlines for them to work from or just give blanket permission for more stories to be written that aren't going to be in book form.

You're not the only one on my flist who keeps talking about this one - it does look like good fun. :-)

[persiflage_1]

Well if you get the chance to watch it, do, because it's a lot of fun!

*oppress oppress oppress*

:-P

Ooooh! I'm definitely going to have to become better acquainted with this lady :D

[persiflage_1]

Oh you totally should!!

[dweomeroflight]

I love this character and it was a fun series!

[persiflage_1]

It really was! Phryne was a hoot, and the UST between her and Jack was great!

I love Phryne! I'm very interested to see the series. I've always pictured her as bit younger in my mind but as there are tons of books I'm sure she ages over them. Plus what one person pictures in their mind is completely different then what another person sees in theirs. Otherwise the series looks spot on.

Well Phyrne served in WW1 so she has to be over a certain age because otherwise she wouldn't have been accepted for ambulance service. They tried to be very strict about that, especially where the women were concerned.
