Just got Both Box sets on DVD at 50% off BBC sale at B&N NYC;> (and being a member w coupon i got 80% off!;) Cozy nite in front of the telly!;) Au reservoir!;D.. <3
Fred must be smiling. It's pretty wonderful, particularly Nigel Hawthorne and Prunella Scales - my one quibble is that Geraldine McEwan chews the scenery a bit.
Thanks to everyone for all the comments! And glad to see so many Mapp & Lucia lovers out there. M & L set the stage for me discovering all of E F Benson's books which I love. I shall try to upload some more bits of Mapp and Lucia and Georgie soon! Au reservoir!
not at all tahsome. mapp, lucia and georgie have the most terrific voices. mapp's comes out in a torrent of flawliss(sic) diction. lucia's flickers between basso profundo and squeaky soprano, often in one word. and georgie's pronunciation is a thing of beauty. did anyone ever hear when mapp imitated lucia's voice? it was spot on.
I bought all the books for my mother years ago before the TV series was completely finished. We have read and re-read them. I aspire to be Lucia.......LOL
A few years back I visited the actual street, on a beautiful weekday in summer, it was totally empty and as I walked past Mapps house I expected Lucia to come out at any moment...It is strange to walk down a street and having never been before...know it so well already!... from an excellent TV series.
I had a Mapp & Lucia Marathon a couple of weeks ago when we had horrible rain outside. I made tea in my silver teapot, and got comfortable for hours and hours of great entertainment! I laughed so much that I actually forgot all about the nasty weather.... what a great show! I wish there were more episodes! Au Reservoir !!
Don't you just LOVE the way Georgie stands and poses while the announcement of his marriage is made? I always laugh out loud. Georgie's character is so very special. I just love this show!
thankyou for posting this, after a hard day at work, watching the doings in Tilling are a great way to relax, its just such a pity the whole series is not on youtube for the world to watch. I read the 2 follow up books last year and I enjoyed the wartime one especially but it leaves you wanting more, pronto! au reservoir!
Nigel Hawthone rules, OK?
