Starts on Tuesday BBC1 2.15. I can’t wait!

There's been an election for something. Everyone appears to have been involved so you can vote for anyone you like. No idea who won, why or what.
Sir Bad Man (with moustache) publicly revealed that Dr Jack lost his bollocks to the Japanese during the War, but this has not made him popular.
Bonkers Regina turned out to be a good egg after all (hurrah for ECT?) but has now been found dead, not drownded.
Sarah with the strange hairline has been floating around whispering moody nonsense, so no change there.
Olivia has got engaged to Elizabeth's stepson.
Anna has got engaged to Olivia's husband's lover. (Smokescreen to stop Sir Bad Man (with moustache) outing him as a (quote) "shirtlifter".

I missed the last half hour of today's episode so not sure what happened after that.

@FuzzyCustard thank you that was an excellent synopsis.
Sir Bad Man is very apt, am completely up to speed now😂

Ickyockycocky · 27/03/2018 22:17

I’m gutted that it’s finished. Bring on season 6.

In the last half hour-- Dr Jack confronted Sir Bad Man and is winning . Police come in and arrrest Sir for murdering Regina. Anna"s relationship with fiancé took a new turn!

The Labour candidate won the election for Parliament. Apparently, the voters felt George was Sir Richard's man. So, in the end, Sir Richard ended up hurting his own candidate.

ickyockycocky the last episode of this series is on today! Smile

FuzzyCustard · 28/03/2018 10:07

Cheers Frankley for the last half hour!
But....Last episode already? What...it's only been on about twice! (Ok slight exaggeration)

Ickyockycocky · 28/03/2018 13:32

icelolly thanks for that, I thought that was the last one yesterday. I thought it ended a bit strangely.

Well that was an ending! I've really enjoyed every episode and I'm looking forward to season six.

What can happen in season 6??? Will it be a few years on, and questions the boys inheritance or Elizabeth upset about Jewish upbringing of David. Do we need a new baddy?

FuzzyCustard · 28/03/2018 19:46

I think Anna will be mysteriously pregnant from her ONS with Henry.

Ickyockycocky · 28/03/2018 20:48

I'd wondered that about Anna...

Yep, enjoyed this series; I guess we won't see Series 6 until next year. I hope the 'new' series of Dr Blake Mysteries comes to BBC soon to fill the void left by APTCH! Smile

RCBadger · 29/03/2018 07:06

According to the show's creator, Bevan Lee, the last season will be set in 1960 and will be about closing up the various plotlines left open after the series 5 finale. Everyone will get an ending, happy or otherwise.

Aaargh, I missed that it was a new series - only just found it on catch-up. I'm up to episode 3 at the moment so I've carefully read only the first few posts. I'll catch up when I've caught up!

Surely that's a different actress playing Regina?

Ickyockycocky · 03/04/2018 09:32

No, it’s the same actress.

OK, caught up now but you've probably all gone away Sad

I love A Place to Call Home. I think I discovered it when the BBC showed the very first series, and I was off work sick and watching daytime TV. I've watched every series since.

I'm struck by how much Sarah's character has changed. She was a wonderful, feisty, attractive woman in the first couple of series, but I agree with FUzzyCustard above that she mostly floated around whispering moody nonsense this time round. Apart from where she nearly killed the ex-Nazi, which was the Sarah I used to know and love!

I couldn't work out right till the last episode whether Evil Reggie had turned over a new leaf or not. Most of the series I thought she was attempting to play some kind of double agent game with Sir Bad Man (with moustache) and was in over her head. But I didn't believe she was really trying to make amends.

I think the only way they could make series 6 after tying up so many loose ends would be if the conclusion about Reggie's death is wrong after all, and Sir Bad Man (with moustache) is still out to get them.

Not really related, but I'm reading Trust Me by Lesley Pearce at the moment, about the lives of two women who are sent out to Australia as 'orphans' (only they're not, their father goes to prison for something he didn't do) and are put in those awful orphanages and then sent out to work basically as slave labour. I keep finding myself thinking that this would have been happening in the same country as A Place to Call Home, at the same time, and who knows, perhaps not that far from Inverness.

A last thought. Do Jewish people keep menorahs burning in the windows? That was what Elizabeth said she would do, but I've lived in Jewish districts and never seen this.
