Partners in Crime

Just listened to an episode I found [not sure why I can listen to some things on the pooter but not others ]. It's brilliant .

Gloomsbury is fabulously funny, the actors are just brilliant. I have requested the cd of the 3 series for my birthday from my DS.

Have I managed to everyone losing the plot now?

No, Lona, Thomas Brown was the name of the postman!

Sorry, I got that the wrong way round!!

It was Thomas Brown who played the postman, but he did look a bit like the actor that played Hugo IMO.

Aaaaaah. I'll go and google him.

Now I'm even more confused.

You're right, kitty - Thomas Brown the postman in Lark Rise was played by Mark Heap.

But, I don't think Hugo was in Lark Rise - that was someone - it was, you know, whatsisname!

Oh yes! I'd forgotten how good he was as Hugo Horton.

That episode of Miranda had me in tears!

Makes me want to visit 'Sizzlinghurst'

I love Gloomsbury as well, it's the funniest thing on radio.

Me too, annsixty - the lovely Alice's admirer and, eventually, husband.

Best known to me as Hugo Horton(sp) in The Vicar Of Dibley.

I was the same with the uncle, kitty. At first I thought he was Pike (stupid boy) from Dad's Army but then realised he was the postman from Lark Rise to Candleford. I think he also did a very funny episode of Miranda playing a therapist or something.

Nellie I love Gloomsbury!

I think we ought to be due for another of my Radio favourites, "Bleak Expectations"

I only watched Partners in Crime for a few minutes because I got so cross that she was carrying all those bags and a suitcase! And they were clearly empty which made it even worse!

Life in Squares confused me because I couldn't hear it very well, so I wasn't sure who was putting what where!!

I think the whole cast in Partners in Crime was really good, especially Jessica Rains. I did spend quite a bit of time trying to remember who Tommy's uncle was. That happens a lot - wracking my brains to recall what else someone has been in!

I loved Partners in Crime and watched it twice. Never done this before.

Did anyone notice that Mr. Hanson from Holby was in "Living in Squares." As a Holby fan it felt weird.

Yes; I would imagine that Francesca Annis was far more watchable than the lady in this new series! Strangely enough Nellie, I have Sue Limbs' 'Up the Garden Path' in front of me; been meaning to re read it for ages. Just wasted three hours of my life watching The Place Beyond the Pines on Film4, thinking that something might happen or I might at least start to care about at least one person in the film. All I can think is that, at least I didn't sit for three hours + in a cinema watching it.

Does anybody remember the earlier series with Francesca Annis as a rather delicious Tuppence, and James Warwick as Tommy? It was set closer to the time of the novels - I seem to recall them meeting while at a loose end after the end of WWI...

I started watching the *Living in Squares" (Bloomsbury set) . It is bit vague I will try again next weekand if I CBA I will stop.

BBC radio 4 has had several series of a really good comedy called "Gloomsbury" written by Sue Limb. It a very funny parady on this lot, far more entertaining than this new TV series .

That was a defining moment!
