Last thread is full. So a last thread to finish the series ...

That is a great idea, good luck to her with it.

I've only just got round to booking the official Chatham Dockyard tour. A fellow obsessive friend has been and reported back that she knew way more than the tour guide did so I wasn't going to bother but I gave in. Would definitely be interested in a walking tour, it's a great idea.

Don't know anything about Netflix btw. I'll have a dig around and see what I can find

OMG the Chatham Dockyard tour looks amazing, thanks shelagh I'm going to book before it sells out.

I've booked the Chatham Dockyard tour for Bank Holiday Monday in August. So excited! Even dh said he was up for it. We might go a day or two before and make a weekend of it.

Watched the last episode of Series 4 last night, poor Trixie She really does deserve some good luck.

Yay! I'll report back, I'm going in June. Next Saturday I'm at the BFI for the Radio Times festival and the CTM talk so hopefully will get to meet some of the cast. (Have met a fair few of them, I am a true sad act! ) and a friend and I are going location hunting first. Really looking forward to it! There is no end to my sadness!

I wasn't too keen on Trixie in S4. She's improved since and I liked her before. And it's been confirmed that poor Sgt Noakes is officially leaving. He must be truly pissed off with Miranda Hart.

I don't blame him!

The CTM talk sounds amazing shelagh I've never heard of this Radio Times festival. I've just looked it up and the talk is sold out Do you think they might get any returned tickets? There's a Victoria Wood thing on too, sold out as well!

It's unlikely tbh. They released a second lot of tickets and they sold out in minutes too. I missed the Victoria wood thing completely. I wanted to go to that too.

I don't blame the actor either. He had a good job there till she screwed it up for him, knowingly or not.

Yes miaow my dd is watching as we speak! She's pretty much caught up anyway but my younger dd is only on Series 3 so she'll be delighted.

Series 5, where are you??

Poor Sergeant Noakes, I'll miss him.

I am really not a fan of Miranda Hart after the way she messed about with CTM. I wasn't a fan of her "comedy" either.

Me neither. Never thought she was funny at all. She wasn't too bad in the first series of CTM but after that she became a posh person caricature and the show started to become the Chummy show, meaning less time for other characters. I get the feeling she's supremely pissed off the CTM bosses and I'd be surprised if she got another chance. Not that I know anything! I just hope she doesn't get another chance. There's no real place for her there now anyway.

I think her "star" is fading now. She is a one-trick pony.

shelagh - a couple of random questions for you:

What happened to Jane the really quiet midwife? She just seemed to disappear unless I missed something.

When did Patsy and Delia realise they had feelings for each other? One minute they were friends and the next it was obvious they were attracted to each other.

Jane went off to train as a nurse. This wasn't mentioned here in the UK but we found that the New Zealand broadcast had some extra/extended scenes and it was in that. Jane was a brilliant character, was so sad she left.

I think the implication was that Patsy and Delia had known each other for a while - they both worked at the London. There was an ep where Patsy delivered a still born baby and she went to Delia's room in the nurses home for comfort and an stayed the night with her. It seemed to be a relationship that was already established.

Thank you shelagh

Slight derail of thread but I managed to get tickets for the Victoria Wood event at the Radio Times festival on Saturday (huge fan of hers!) shelagh - there were still a few tickets available - be quick! It's on just after CTM.

They said they were selling standby tickets for sold out events so I may be lucky and get a ticket for CTM too. I'm not too hopeful but I'm going to get there early just in case.

There's one ticket left for VW but it's a middle seat and I'm super claustrophobic!

You'll have to wave if you get in to CTM! I'll be the saddo hanging round the cast!

Got tickets for CTM going with my middle dd, can't wait

Hooray! I'm sitting here now looking at a huge screen wth Sister Julienne on it!

I loved it! Were you the lady who asked the question about Shelaghs fertility? My dd asked the question about fictional v real characters.

Yep!
Well done Dancersdd!

My dd really made me laugh the other day. I was filling in an online form for her and there was a section about doctor's details. She said 'Patrick Turner'. I was so tempted to put that down
