[Bobbisox1]

[Bobbisox1]

Apparently, it was meant to be a completely different type of
family than in Last of the Summerwine. I really can,ee why they called it the larkins if that's the case! But a lot of people must like it as it's a second series and I wouldn't laugh at them. We aren't all the same.

[pimplyteen]

Its really been made for the soap fans,they don't then have to worry about poor acting and writing. Budget rubbish really.

[Bobbisox1]

I like 2 soaps , that’s all but I do like Bradley Walsh , I agree it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but we enjoyed it

[MissTerious]

Many of the soaps have very good actors. Corrie is renowned for some of our best actors appearing in it. They actually really want to be part of it.

You have no idea Pimply!

[pimplyteen]

I wouldnt waste my life watching soaps. MT. Whoever appears in or on the soaps do it for one reason only, the money.

[Bobbisox1]

Then how can you criticise Pimply?

[pimplyteen]

Easy, I've obviously seen them. Its gob smacking how people shut down when they come on, no one allowed to mutter a word. Crazy!!

[weecalf]

The guy that played Barney Rubble in the Flintstones was good ,was he in anything else .

Pimply, give a thought to the elderly, some who live alone, those like my housebound friend who like to get lost in following the lives of characters in a soap.
Yes, I know they're probably not as bright as you, but not everybody gets pleasure from watching arty farty high brow....high spend rubbish.

That's why people go to work isn't it, for the money?

No idea what Last of the Summer Wine has to do with The Larkins

[MissTerious]

Barry. My mistake. I meant the Darling Buds of May!

[gness]

MissT. Do you know my tale of how H.E. got the inspiration for Darling Buds of May?

[goodgoalie]

The books are really good. In my early twenties I went through an 'H. E. Bates phase', after reading Love For Lydia - one of only two novels that have made me cry. Read everything by him that I could get hold of, and I especially love his short stories, of which he is a master.

Even now if I'm feeling down or have run out of something to read, I'll reach for my ancient Penguin copy of his stories; favourites being The Lighthouse, The Kimono and The Four Beauties - must have read them a dozen times.
