World On Fire

[maggiebee]

Final episode tonight.............or so I thought. There's going to be another series thank goodness, too many loose ends to tie up. Hope the Beeb don't take too long to show it.

[NellieMay]

I've really enjoyed it and hopefully we won't have to wait until next autumn, Maggie. Just got into all the characters.

[albaqwerty]

I was only half watching it, There seemed to be a lot of amazing coincidences,

[brainiac]

Not as many amazing coincidences as Celebrity Hunted (and the non-celebrity version) - the most unbelievable, dishonest programme on TV.

[anneasquith]

I didn’t realise tonight was the last episode ;=(

[tonyav]

Is it worth watching on catch up then ?

[ummmm]

I haven't watched it but my OH has really enjoyed it.

[emmie]

i haven't found it totally believable, the young girl wouldn't go round advertising her pregnancy unless she says that her husband was killed in the war, and the young man seems so wooden.

[hellywelly4]

I enjoyed it, although I definitely agree about the coincidences. The thing that has really rankled with me is very trivial - the way the pregnant lady dressed. She would never have worn clothes which ‘flaunted’ her pregnancy. She would have worn a smock or loose fitting dress. It’s only in the last few years that pregnant women have worn tight fitting clothes.

I did mention at the beginning of the series that the author had said he had enough ideas for possibly 6 series worth of material. I'm afraid i only watched about one and a half episodes before deciding it wasn't for me. For those hankering after a rapid showing of series 2, don't forget that it first has to be written, then produced, etc, etc, etc. So i would hazard a guess that you won't be seeing it until next autumn.

Hope I will be able to pick
up the story on its return,
I struggle after a week's
absence.

Fantastic....intriguing with many possibilities one of which is that I would have the bus driver lefty having an affair with the lady of the manor...LOL

[emmie]

seems unlikely sqad, he would know his place, and she would know hers.......

[Sqad]

C'mon emmie where is your sense of excitement and romance, many high borne women relished a "bit of rough" in their lives look at lady Chatterley for instance.

[anneasquith]

No no no , she is a very emotionless woman.

[Sqad]

anne.......they are the type that "go like a rocket " when stimulated......we would call them "screamers."

At the end, who was at the top of the hill? a German soldier?

[emmie]

Anne
i think she has a soft spot for him, but never the twain would have met, not then.

[anneasquith]

Lol. We call them screamers. Yeh right
.

[maggiebee]

Squad, it was Harry at the top of the hill - he said to Kasia "I'll meet you at the top". She was further down.

[emmie]

so there will be more, oh well will have to watch something else on sunday nights......
