A Place to Call Home - BBC 2

Very moving episode today ?

Spoiler from today's episode warning!

I really enjoy it! I am hooked. I watch it on catch-up. I allow myself a long leisurely breakfast (when I am not working) so I can curl up on the sofa and warch it. I would be upset now if I missed an episode. The mean, scheming Regina has just hooked George, who doesn't know his true love, Sarah, is now a widow!

It's very much a soap opera, with an ever-twisting plot, but a glorious one. The incredible figures of all the (younger) women and the beautiful dresses they wear has me enthralled. It's a wonderful period-piece and I find myself really wanting all the nice characters to be happy. I now like and feel for Elizabeth Bligh too. How did that happen?

It's one I'll watch again I suspect. It's up there with Downton Abbey for me. Wonderful television. Well done BBC2 for bringing this to us.

Meant to add - Wouldn't Regina make a marvellous Cruella De Vil? She has such a beautiful but spiteful face, and she ponders, schemes and then pounces so well. Love her make-up, hair and clothes.

Thank you, Margsus. I so wish I'd known about the series and watched it right from the start!

I watched this on BBC2 during the winter of 2014/15 and was hooked, although I did become confused with the story line occasionally! Series 4 is ready to air in Oz this year, so I suppose we won't get it in the UK for at least another year ......

I found the scenes dealing with Sarah's mourning after Rene's death very moving. Being Jewish myself, I felt that they did it beautifully.

I've decided to treat myself to the DVD of series 1-3, that should keep me going until series 4 is aired in the UK!

Oh dear... seems as if we've got a bit of a wait to see Regina get her comeuppance. I'm sure she will, but.....?

Marta Disseldorp, who plays Sarah so beautifully, is married in real life to Benjamin Winspear, who played her screen husband Rene. Apparently she found filming those last scenes very difficult.

Thats interesting ?

I discovered this series by chance when I was flicking through catch up and am completely hooked. I think I have managed to catch up on all of them so far and I'm so disappointed that the last one is today! I really hope we don't have to wait a whole year for the new one.

So many cliffhangers........

Have now ordered the box set of series 1-3, but can't wait til series 4 airs!

Am I a very sad person with no life???

I've had to stay well away from this thread because I had fallen so far behind and was afraid of spoilers!

Have caught up with all now and found myself shouting at the screen

So worried about Sarah and the baby, and Elizabeth and Mr Goddard! Oh, my hat.

Anyway having finished this series I then watched the finale of Stella. No comparison but I do like Patrick Baladi, AND whoever plays Rob Morgan. Soooo, came the hospital scene, coupled with this song, it provided an excuse for a little "greet":
