Larkrise Axed after this series

[turnitup]

Cant say im that surprised

These Sunday night type series seem to run for about 5 years and then they start something else. I missed it so far this series, what is going on?

Not surprised either.

I just wish they stop wasting money on remakes of remakes.

That's be another night with nothing worth watching on the bbc.

Not surprised but will miss it as its no-brainer sunday night viewing. Larkrise then wild at heart
Looking forward to seeing how they televise call the midwife though

Lark Rise was a big disappointment IMO.It lacked the edge of the book,it seemed all pretty pretty,roses around the door.I loved the 'midwife' books and look forward to seeing it televised.

I'm glad, it was a terrible adaptation. As Mrs says, it totally lacked the edge that the book had. Poor old Flora Thompson must be turning in her grave.

Utter twaddle. Love it though.

I only just started watching it, slightly. It's the yellowest thing on and I love it!

It bears very little relation to the books & I think that this series is crap so far tbh.

It seems to be a seried just for the sake of it somehow & the characters are a bit like caracatures of themselves.

I love the book, and when Dawn French turned up (very early on in the 1st episode) I just knew it would be crap, and so it proved.

yes feedme i also love the book; the t.V. version doesn't resemble the book much and seems to make up a lot i don't remember unless there's another book?

well, to be honest I only managed one episode, but any resmeblence to the book seemed to be purely accidental.

It's about time, last night's episode was just daft with the snake stirring up passions

It's an endless of round of Dorcas fancying someone and not doing anything about it, Queenie being wise, Laura observing, Thomas being a prat, etc, etc, they've run out of interesting storylines.

There was another book,called 'Still Glides the Stream',but I don't know if any of it made it onto t.v as I gave up watching really early on.

It kind of spoiled the books for me TBH.I get visions of Dawn French now if I try to read them.

thank fuck

yes Mirage, I agree. Dawn French doing yokel, yuck

Mirage have you any idea if it's still in print? I'd like to get it.

Yep,just found it on Amazon from 1p.I'm rubbish at links otherwise I'd do one.

I was quite disappointed with the book tbh.

There are some characters & funny vignettes, but nothing really happens.

It´s about a way of life that doesn´t exist anymore & I think that´s why it´s so popular.

T'is utter crap.

Thanks Mirage diddl i love the book, it makes poor victorian life real, well it was Flora Thompson's LIFE FGS, it doesn't glamourise anything & doesn't need much action IMO

I'm glad - its turned into drivel.
