I'm not minding it either, but haven't finished it, whereas seasons 1 and 2 I binge watched the whole thing, and then watched it again more slowly.Finally finished the series. Didn’t mind it that much but can’t see myself rushing to watch it again.
I might not have been concentrating but the actress playing Sophie Wessex was she just in one scene (the birthday one with the fish) with no lines at all?
I always remember reading an interview with Sue Townsend. She said she saw John major (before he was prime minister) on the tv, looking around confused and thought “that’s Adrian mole”!Back in the early 90s I worked in a small political think tank in central London and John Major came in for a meeting. Afterwards many of the ladies were having the vapours over him - unexpectedly they found him sexy. They said in person he was different to his public persona. These ladies weren't easy pushovers either - they were quite used to the likes of Peter Lilley, Cecil Parkinson and Michael Heseltine.
I believe that was meant to be her. They didn’t give lines to Fergie or Prince Edward this series either. Found it awkward in the first series they didn’t give any lines to Anthony Eden’s wife even though she was in quite a few scenes!I might not have been concentrating but the actress playing Sophie Wessex was she just in one scene (the birthday one with the fish) with no lines at all?
I didn’t even realise I had finished the whole series tbh. Sat down expecting another episode at least, but no. It was over.I found the ending very lackluster, it was a strange place to stop.
They handled Penny, panorama and Diana/ William relationship very well I thought.
That's what I did. In fact I fell asleep half way through the last episode, so just went to bed, then the next day went to watch the next episode but it had finished! No crescendo, or even anything interesting enough to stop me nodding off. And I never fall asleep at the telly. Couldn't even be bothered to rewatch the bits I slept through. Really disappointing to be honest. I'll still watch the next series, but it needs to step up its game a bitI didn’t even realise I had finished the whole series tbh. Sat down expecting another episode at least, but no. It was over.
They could have just shown one couple telling their story and it would have got the point across just fine.That episode with all the other divorcing couples was tedious.
Aside from Camilla and Diana, I wasn’t convinced by any of the casting.
I think the was the attitude of the RF before this though. Infidelity wasn't a reason for divorce, as long as you were discreet. Pennys husband ran off with someone else and left her to run the estate, then came slinking back years later, and they are still husband and wife evenbthough she lived with Phil for 5 years!I'm going through a divorce and that divorce episode with the Queen being unsupportive and implying they were failures for getting divorced really rubbed me the wrong way, especially when her own husband was off (carriage?) riding Penny
