Black Narcissus

Jane10 you're spot on!

In a couple of sentences, say what you think should be happening, or what you hope happens!

Young prince marries young girl, takes over palace and throws out the nuns.
Gemma Arterton and Sister Ruth have a struggle on the bell tower (can't tell you quite what happens as I have my hands over my eyes and feel sick) but Ruth falls over, plunges down the Himalaya. Gemma runs away with Dean, her hair grows back and they live happily ever after because her passionate nature reveals itself.

The other nuns stay there and run the school for the Prince and his now expanding harem and children, smiling even more happily as they get frostbite and go steadily nuts.
They must all smell dreadful too, no hot showers or baths, just a bowl of ice covered water.

Ps I can spell Clodagh but forgot her name for the moment.

On another channel was the Marigold Hotel.

I was wondering how the nuns' habits could be so pristine with no running water or electricity.

Very slow. I agree Ruth will jump and Clodagh will ride off with Mr. Dean into the sunset to live happily ever after.

Sounds like my perfect night's TV.

I just realised that I went on a bit - more than a couple of sentences!

I'll write a TV script just for you, Sparklefizz
?

Hang on weren't they in the bath house in some sort of Victorian type undergarments getting washed? I did wonder at the time I thought nuns only undressed in private and never revealed their body even to other sisters.

Perhaps it depends which order they belong to and how big the tv budget was. There hems got a bit muddy but fortunately there were no stains down the front of their habits.

Another one who nodded off for 10 minutes. OH offered to rewind it but I said not to bother. We wondered if CGI was used for some of the travelling scenes.

Ooh ... pleeeeease!

It's better to use cold water to wash out blood, hot water 'sets' it.

There was plenty of blood.

My main thought is that they must all be freeeeezing!
It is slow but that's because the book could be retitled 'Five go nuts in Nepal'!

I was thinking how much more accurate the Sister in Derry Girls is as a depiction of a real nun.

Calendargirl well, I got that wrong didn't I?
34!

Actresses looked older back in the 1940’s.!

One of those ( background ) nun's looks like Rowan Atkinson.

Just watched the first two episodes on Catchup, quite enjoyable but not one of the best dramas. It's also the first time I've seen a nun with a "trout pout"

I like Sister Briony best, she could be fun.

trisher I completely agree Sister Michael in Derry Girls is wonderful!

Oh well!

Nun of this, nun of that and nun of the other.

They should have booked with Easyjet.

Oh well. I stuck with it! Beautiful scenery, but the over-riding feeling is that there's another 3 hours of my life I won't get back!

I can't decide why it came across as so flat. What should have been dramatic moments just seemed uneventful.
"Oh look mum there's two nuns dangling from a bell rope"
" Eat your breakfast they're just attention seeking."

???

Well, that was a let down.
I thought he might have swept her off his horse and carried her off to his mountain lair.

It's me, Cathy

Her horse

Oh dear
