Brand New and shiny!! Saw an interview, where Martin Clunes said he thought it might NOT be the last season after all!!:MOJE_whot::clap2:
He lives about 20 minute drive from us, in a lovely place called Bridport. If you ever get a drama called Broadchurch,(FAB) It was filmed here.

Yes, we are just beginning the Broadchurch shows, I think we are into number three, they are a bit dark though, I just hate the way the senior detective speaks to people, and his Scottish accent is very difficult to follow at times.

We recently had the show that Martin Clunes did where he traveled all through the outlying British Islands, incredible show and a great geography lesson for anglophiles.

British Translation Table :) :)
 
WHAT THE BRITISH SAY
WHAT THE BRITISH MEAN
WHAT FOREIGNERS UNDERSTAND


I hear what you say
I disagree and do not want to discuss it further
He accepts my point of view

With the greatest respect
You are an idiot
He is listening to me

That's not bad
That's good
That's poor

That is a very brave proposal
You are insane
He thinks I have courage

Quite good
A bit disappointing
Quite good

I would suggest
Do it or be prepared to justify yourself
Think about the idea, but do what you like

Oh, incidentally/ by the way
The primary purpose of our discussion is
That is not very important

I was a bit disappointed that
I am annoyed that
It doesn't really matter

Very interesting
That is clearly nonsense
They are impressed

I'll bear it in mind
I've forgotten it already
They will probably do it

I'm sure it's my fault
It's your fault
Why do they think it was their fault?

You must come for dinner
It's not an invitation, I'm just being polite
I will get an invitation soon

I almost agree
I don't agree at all
He's not far from agreement

I only have a few minor comments
Please rewrite completely
He has found a few typos

Could we consider some other options
I don't like your idea
They have not yet decided

As you get further in to the series, his manner of speaking becomes clear. Can not tell you why, it will spoil it!
The martin Clunes, Islands was wonderful, he also does one about horses too.

Lewis may still return to television in 2014, either as another series or as a one-off.

Endeavour is coming back for a second series. Did not watch, as did not fancy it!

Did you not realize that "Endeavor" was our beloved Inspector Morse as a young man? His mother named him Endeavor. He never forgave her. He never told anybody his first name.

endeavour
 
oh I know who he is, just not a fan of the actor :) Do you know why he was named Endeavour? He was named after Capt Cooks ship, HMS Endeavour. His mother was a Quaker and all Quaker names have to be 'virtuous'
When I see John Thaw, the original Morse, I see his as the character Chief Inspector Regan from a '70's tv show, Sweeney. The best cop show ever shown on British television!!

Hahaha! Yep! Boy Howdy!
Thanks, BritParrothead!

"The Lady Vanishes" is not a series. It is a TV remake of a 1938 Hitchcock movie. IMHO, the original was way better. Not very complicated. A young woman on a train is befriended by an older woman who then completely and mysteriously disappears.

New season Downton Abbey playing right now as we speak!! Will watch later, and report back :)

I have been looking for the next installment of BroadChurch, but it has completely disappeared off our screens. No idea what happened to it, so no idea who killed the boy .. very annoying.
