The Village anyone?

[PenelopePisstop]

Just starting, I'm looking forward to this.

Sadly I thought this would be depressing and I'm not wrong. BBC dramas ain't what they used to be!

I thought this would have a feel good factor, like call the midwife

Thinking same tickety boo not understanding why they've started off so bad and harrowing. It's not entertaining, it's upsetting. Not happy, thought it would be a CTM replacement or at least 'How Green is my valley'.

I Vow To Thee My Country best bit

For farmers of that era they seem to have a large (if sparse) house.
Love the young teacher defying the HT.

Its real Life thats why. Not everything was warm fire and a communial pic nic after church on May day .

And just turned over.

Spectacularly underwhelmed ....

Naughty little shit peaking at them.

Me too Oldboots I don't mind a bit of misery as long as it is mixed in with some nice stuff too.

Too depressing for Easter night but will watch to the end.

Had enough.

He he cheeky little boy

How about a bit of voyeurism?

Are with tough I can't see this getting another series, got no chance of lasting the 100 years.

There isn't anyone likeable in it, 'Cept maybe mother.

Hanging on in there...

Oh bloody hell-I've just read that it's to span 100yrs-42eps!!

No way!

That's me off!

Whos the young lady ?

42 eps well it better bloody cheer up!

Think its 6 weeks to begin with.

I presume it goes straight into the Great War from here.

42 episodes?!

Even Maeve Binchy and Catherine Cookson managed better than this!

Criky, I don't want to turn off in case something good actually happens but this is s*

There's only 6 episodes. Think they are planning on making the other's to span 100 years. Based on this I can't see it happening unless it cheers up a bit. I know it's a reflection of real life but we all have real lives and want entertaining and, as someone said up thread, a feel good factor. It's Sunday night or God's sake, haven't they learned from Downton and CTM??
