Sanditon ITV

[JaneJeffer]

Anyone watching?

I'm actually just thrilled I've finally found this outlet for my gushing as no one I know watches this in real life.

What makes you think that, Lulu?

Just the lust between them and the sparring. Frankly, how could anyone not want to jump into bed with Sidney? For a long long time.

Well, gushing is encouraged, but be aware that you have wandered into the middle of Team Stringer and that we're all hoping for a topless (and hatless) wet shirt scene before this sorry mess limps to a close.

I also can't be doing with conflict and unpleasantness as a seduction technique, or moody twats generally, so can't see the Sidney attraction at all, despite his distinctly un-Regency-like physique (I don't think a man of his class would have that sort of musculature, since he wouldn't be doing any sort of manual labour and exercise for exercise's sake wasn't the done thing).

I really would have no trouble not going to bed with Sidney at all - rude, moody & petulant.

Tbh I also couldnt go to bed with stringer either - I can’t with the accent 😆😆 and he might keep the hat on and call me miss

I would have no problem resisting Sidney. Edward on the other hand...

I'm hoping for the above😂 but I remain Team Sidney. I think Sidney and Charlotte are suited too. They make each other rethink the way they go about things and they are attracted to each other. Theo is the best looking man alive in my opinion ! 😍

I think Edward would be fun.

@Kit19 I’d insist he kept the hat on and called me miss tbh 🤣 I love a West Country accent!

No, I don't like Edward Jane
But that may be because I think most of the Fox family are an acquired taste. Laurence is probably the best

Un Regency physique? I'm not in this for reality. Enough of that in real life. I'm for a good dose of escapism. Just want this wrapped up with kisses and marriage.

Not keen on Edward either. Sidney by a mile but Babbington in a pinch. No interest in Stringer whatsoever.

@Babybel90 😂😂😂 I live in the West Country soooo and wouldn’t the hat fall off at you know some stage....😆😆😆

@lululup beware that Andrew Davies wants a second series “I hope viewers will think they’re can't leave it like that!’” soooooo there maybe a cliff hanger

Are you sure kazza? (just wanted an excuse to put this picture here )

Well if we’re going to start that @JaneJeffer (and it is Friday afternoon)

I'm not really a Fox fan either. I found Laurence quite twinkly and appealing in the latest series of Victoria but then had to remind myself that taking a fancy to Lord Palmerston was quite weird, and jingoistic, belligerent men aren't generally my bag. Edward has a sort of louche, debauched charm but he's making his upper lip do an awful lot of the work as far as acting goes.

Quite sure, thank you Jane

No harm to check

Oh, and West Country accents are practically foreign and therefore exotic to a Yorkshirewoman like myself. It's up there with French to me

@Kit19 only if you’re doing it right 😉

Tbh it’s 2nd rate Austin and ITV Davies so it’s never going to be as good as P&P on the BBC was, I’ve just watched his adaptation of War & Peace on iPlayer and it was beautiful, I wouldn’t even have guessed it was adapted by the same person if I hadn’t been told, but it’s a bit of light entertainment on a Sunday night so I am enjoying it.

@lululup I’m with you entirely. It’s been a long time since I’ve been so emotionally invested in an onscreen fictional couple, I’m enjoying it immensely. Charlotte was pretty rude to Sidney as well early on but I am swept away with their on screen chemistry and refuse to consider it with a 21st Century head!

And I have loved this thread. The humour, the exchange of different opinions without any discourtesy. Its how Jane Austen would have written an Internet forum!

There's another version of the book called A Return to Sanditon by Anne Toledo which I will get if Amazon will stop telling me they don't recognise my email!
