A Place to Call Home - BBC 2

Regina.............
What a nasty piece of work, what was happening at the end of todays episode will not sway George. At least it shouldn't.

Shock 'horror. René ee ees not French..

it

I have watched season 3 on Netflix and has the biggest cliffhanger Ever!!! ??

No Nina that's true he doesn't. But he could get to "the prize" he is after by blackmailing. Luckily she's a strong character!

Andrew that's the one !
DH says blackmail but it's not like he needs the money

Oooh, thanks for the heads up Nanabelle

l too watched this last year and was quite bereft when it ended as I had enjoyed it so much! This topic has made me google it and I discovered that the new Series 3 is being aired from 25th February BBC2 at 3 pm. Going to set the tv recorder now, so I don't miss any episodes!
(sorry, haven't read all posts, so apologise if the above has already been posted)

Andrew? Has blackmail in mind!

x

No didn't notice the tree!
Can't comment on what Andrew? Has to gain as I have read the Series 3 episode guide. (I always read the end of detective stories too).

I agree Mamie
Did you notice they agreed the garden party on New Years day and the date was set for a fortnight. Yet there was still a Christmas tree in the house at the party
And what does ?? expect to gain from his arrangement with Olivia

Yes I can understand that.
I do wonder about how many clothes they are wearing at Christmas though. Must have been jolly hot.

mamie mine used to moan about it too, till I told him to shut up because "It's just like The Borgias in a different setting" ... anyway he's hooked now too

It's the landscape we love, reminiscent of South Africa.

Does it carry on next week or do we have to wait?
I go and watch it in the bedroom now - OH hates it!

I was emotional too.

I love the closing scenes always such beautiful music.

OMG !!
So sad, I'm blubbing

I get the relationship with Jack now (as explained in flashbacks in Series 2)

Thank goodness James was sprung from that hell-hole! That was terrifying.

Anna is my favourite character in the series.

I'm up to date now and formed some opinions of the characters. I can't take to Sarah, she's too cool and bland, never an expression crosses her face. Maybe there's turbulence underneath. Love Roy, a genuinely lovely man. And Caroline, beautiful and warm. I like Olivia and James, and Harry. Anna and Gino not much.
The old girl is a stereotypical baddie, but may show a heart yet. Regina, no hope.
Mrs Collins reminds me of Hilda Ogden in the far distant days when I watched Coronation Street.
As for the story, just enough to keep me watching. Thanks to all of you who put me on to it.

mamie I shall avoid doing that then!

POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT! However:

I need help in understanding how the bluff with Anna (as baby) was passed off, given that George is oblivious to the truth?

Also, how or why did Elizabeth "rescue" or help Jack? He isn't a relative, is he?

If you Google episode guide you can find out what happens but now I know how it ends.

nina yes but with flashbacks. That's the same actress who plays Olivia, innit (the blond granddaughter). She's much better in her native accent.

I missed the first ever episode it had already dropped off "On Demand" when I got on to this (from Series 1, Episode 2). So I'm not sure how it all started, but I can more or less work it out.

I was startled yesterday to see the modern blue car pull up at the mansion. It took me a minute or two to realise that this is the new series and we've moved on about 50 yrs

Now it's gone all "Cuckoos Nest" in more ways than one.

James is breaking my heart.

Poor James, it's so sad to think that in the '50s they thought they could 'cure' homosexuality. Did it become legal in Australia the same time as here ??
What a turn up with who the granddaughter's father is.
Not saying for you catchup watchers.

Thanks Grannyknot. I've now got this on catchup and am also hooked. Watched up to the sixth episode. Great for when there's nothing much else on that I fancy.
