Anyone watching Labyrinthe?

[FarleyD]

I'm lost already, who was the man with the policeman?

The English invented bows, so we won lots of the battles. They didn't get to Europe until much later. I'm pretty sure the French didn't have them until later than 13th century. I'll check!

I'm enjoying it, although agree it's hard to work out who's who in the present! Was it filmed in the Languedoc? It's stunning, whereever it is!

Bows have been around much longer than that, of course (10,000years), but we won Agincourt in 14and something mainly due to the longbow. I suppose those were short bows, in which case the French would have had them. Oh well [bublush]

I made it all the way to the end, but im sure I must be developing some delicate sensibilities because all the burning people,alive and whatnot has left me feeling a bit ill.

I'm a bit lost - just watched it on plus one...

I thought the book was tosh, but actually I q like this tv adaptation.
Nice to see John Lynch getting an outing.
It was the cop Yves guillaume who gave her the address onthe scrap of paper. And then got totalled by the two thugs in the car.
Morgana didn't really look like she was enjoying it

Jux, did you see the big pennanular brooches? Not particularly south of France.

The exterior shots are in Carcassonne, Languedoc-Rousillion. It's still standing, exactly as you see it on Labyrinthe, but now with lots of tourists.
The interior market and pathway shots are not in Carcassonne, but some sort of mock up. They also show shots of the base of the Pyrenees, Albi and Toulouse.

I've been over-ruled tonight - Dh is watching Waterloo! He's paying the price though - I get a lie-in tomorrow! Will read the book

Meant to say thanks to TheAccidental for location info

Agree with Cremola - book was crap, this condenses it nicely!

DH enjoyed the book. I read a couple of pages before deciding KM couldn't really string a sensible sentence together (I'm so tolerant [bugrin]); he can't remember anything about it, actually, so could have saved himself the pain. He's enjoying the historical bits but is confused by the modern bits. I can only enjoy it in 30 second bursts, so am MNing at the same time. I don't think I could cope, otherwise!

Just watched this, had no idea what was going on most of the time, but still enjoyed it. Glad I haven't tried reading the book think I would of struggled.

That's 4 hours of my life I'll never get back! Utter drivel - but lovely scenery.

It was shite the book was great though

Ive never read any of Kate Mosses books but this does strike me as very similar to Barbara Erskines books of which ive read three.
Lady of Hay
Kingdom of Shadows
Hiding from the Light.
Erskines books are usually set in two different time zones too.

janesnowdon, dh said "I feel like billing Channel 4 for my time!".

I'm with your DH Lux. Shame on
c4 for such rubbish.

I had high hopes but it left me feeling very meh. The actress playing Alice Tanner just relied on big teary eyes and flaunting her long legs.

what an annoying waste of my time.

Couldn't follow it, but also couldn't stop watching!

My dad and I did shout out "He killed Draco Malfoy!!" at the appropriate time!

same here,
and when john hurt asked her about the Holy Grail, I thought she might mention Monty Python

If you want to kill someone standing in front of you and you have a sword and a crossbow, surely you'd use the sword??

I watched it today, I'm confused, did she leave the books in the cave? Did the evil french woman kill herself at the end?

Yes, left the books with Jon Hurt I think, and chose to go off with man (forget name) therefore choosing love as JH advised (I think)
