I do love my British Miniseries

Mar 25, 2011 11:03

So, after the high of Downton Abbey, and the glorious discovery of North and South, (I may have already babbled about them on my blog Wayward City where it is easier to post links. And photos!) I decided to keep searching for that british miniseries high ( Read more... )

Dear Rabbit,
I accept my culpability, but Downton Abbey will have a second season, so I still think that I win. Also, I will watch North and South, if only so that I know for what I am accepting culpability. It seems to be a bit trickier to find than Downton Abbey, so it might take me a while.

Dear Rabbit,

Okay, you were totally right.

Dear Hobbit,

I love how the episodes just keep getting better! I love that you now understand the glory of the snow white cotton snuffing workplace!~

wheee!

Yours from the North,
Rabbit

Dear Rabbit,

That said, I cannot abide those sideburns. Also, what's the deal with all this fluff-death? These people would be dying of consumption if they had any decency.

Yours from the South,
Hobbit

Perhaps watch an episode or two of "Upstairs/Downstairs"? An old series, but a favorite of my family. I also like Doc Martin, but it is a comedy and newish.

Intriguing. I may have to find it.

Dear Rabbit,

I only recently re-read Pride and Prejudice, and yet I find I cannot recollect the scene in which Mr. Darcy appears semi-recumbent with only a froth of soap bubbles to conceal his finer qualities. Is Miss Austen such a mistress of subtle prose that I have been missing this scene through my many readings of her work?

Thanks to the BBC, though, I shall never forget it again.

Yours in modest soap bubbles,
Hobbit

Dearest Hobbit,

You have not one, not two, but THREE scenes of gratuitous "let's get Colin Firth, I mean Mr. Darcy wet" to look forward to which have little to nothing to do with the original text material (did I accidentally type texxxt? Yes I did).

I have not yet seen the King's Speech, but all other Colin Firth movies I have seen have since included a sexy scene in which he is wet. I believe it is currently written into his contracts. I am not complaining.

Just waiting for the water scene,
Rabbit
