Rosemary and Thyme

Pull the other one, jeni!

Ah! Silly me! Titter!
Remember I'm just a dotty quaint old dear, who doesnt understand these things!

Because you're doing speech marks instead of asterisks!

Why is this not giving me bold?

" hello"

I "adore" Gibbs!

jess does your MIL watch the CSI series those blokes are on par to our man Gibbs

Mamie .. I love the Dorothy Parker quote .. superb!

Nooooo, jess. That stupid haircut!
Men with fringes, horrible.

Now lets think about this - Felicity and Pam get offered a gig in which they get paid to do easy acting and visit a whole lot of lovely locations and gardens. And get paid. It is very light harmless entertainment.
My MIL loves that channel - Morse, Monarch, Marple etc etc - but who does she like best.... yr man Gibbs from NCIS (don't blame her. he can rescue me from bad guys any day)

Katherine Hepburn was the butt of Dorothy Parker's comment.

I so agree with most of you about 'Rosemary and Thyme'. Right from the start I thought it was awful and wondered why these two successful actresses took it on.
It's like a corny version of 'Angela Brazil's school stories. Is it meant to be a 'send up'

That got me looking at Dorothy Parker quotes on wiki - I hadn't seen this one before.

"You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think."

Oh I don't know - I would have thought two expressions were plenty for the Rosemary and Thyme plots... Who was the actress who was said (by Dorothy Parker?) to have run the full gamut of her emotions from A to B?

I have no idea if she has had any cosmetic work..not really my business.. but she does look a bit 'taut' and this appears to stop her relaxing her face. If you are on TV in a 'drama' you kind of need to have more than two expressions!

Her speaking voice has always been strange! All 'bubbly' and childish when she was younger and with an impish grin.....impish grins don't work so well with downward-pulling lines - perhaps the work she's had done pulls the lines up!

I agree. Affected mannerisms and that rather strange speaking voice....

Do not really mind what FK has or has not 'done'.
The woman is so up herself that I can't stand to watch her anymore.

And yet, I believe FK denies ever having had anything 'done'....

FKs expressions are so odd! Too much surgery methinks has made her face a bit 2-dimensional!

This is a dreadful programme and whist I think Felicity Kendall is certainly off her game now as an actress I think Pam Ferris is an excellent actress in a dreadful programme.

Rosemary & Thyme is more like Acorn Antiques than Acorn Antiques! But I occasionally watch it despite the fact it is so awful..or maybe because it is!
