Rosemary and Thyme

I love Rosemary and Thyme. It's so corny but very comfortable and the gardens are fabulous.

Oh but I love the gardening! Everything is in bloom in the garden at the same time, they plant everything from pots from the garden centre and it flowers straight away, they never break into a sweat or have dirty hands and they carry on gardening in a crime scene!
Is this the "Anyone not for tennis?" thread.

Well, reluctantly I have to admit that I have now switched to BBC1, just for the historical moment! I watched the 1966 World Cup too, and 'Bolero'. That more or less sums up my interest in sport.

Ditto

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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 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!

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?

mamie

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."

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'

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

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)

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

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

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

I "adore" Gibbs!
