Recently I got nostalgic and watched a bit of Rosemary and Thyme. It’s not the best show in the world (think Midsomer Murders in terms of body count) and I’m sure it has lots of other problems BUT…

how many shows focus on two ‘older’ women (in terms of TV standards anyway) and their friendship. I just think that’s nice.

Plus I still laugh every single time at the scene in 1×02 when Rosemary is in the study and she gets shot at.

– calls up the stairs “Laura we’re being shot at!”
– she runs out into the hall
– turns the light on
– throws the door open and steps outside

“WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING? YOU’VE ONLY GONE AND BROKEN THE BLOODY WINDOW!!!”

– Laura grabs her, drags her back inside and turns the light off

It’s probably much funnier to watch than to describe heh 🙂 I wonder if it’s on YouTube…

alright the quality is appalling but it is a better illustration as to what I mean so never mind.

Ahh, the nostalgia, it reminds me of when I actually used to watch British TV.
