Cranford

[MarsLady]

Wonderful

Why stop at casualty
Would happily pay double license fee if this sort of thing was offered 3-4 x a year.

Haven't they used up all the Mrs Gaskell stories about Cranford now though? If they want to do some more won't they have to make up their own?

'an opium whore'

oh it was fab.I was cryingtoo.And martin shaw- oooh er mrs. At the typhois bit we were all shouting
gettheicegettheice!
want more want more.

lol at opium den in craaanford

There will be more...they can't dangle Martin in front of us and then snatch him away. It wouldn't be cricket at all.

If there was a sequel, Septimus could come home.

yes i so want miss pole to have peter.
ans we must have septimus with his consumptiona nd Italian rent boy

Message withdrawn

exactly icod. there is more fun and games to be had with that £20k mortgage

ok so let's cast Septimus for real

Johnny Depp for the rent boy...

Alan Rickman could he be made young enough

Ha even better Lady Ludlow enjoys the young Harry as he proves to be more loyal than her adored Septimus
Leaves the lot to Harry and casts Septimus into the cold

Do you think rent boy will get on splendidly well with all the old ladies, who will have him round to tea and he'll spread gossip?

While Septimus will make a play for young Harry, who will be back from public school grown up and looking rather fit.

that's v good Piffle

I loved Caroline getting together with the butcher, there was something of a joint of meat about her, don't you think?

Yep...next series

Lady Ludlow (?) dies
Septimus comes back to sell up to the railway helped by Greg Wise (also very worth watching IMO) but Cranford rises up in rebellion.
Enter new Lord of the Manor....
JAMES PUREFOY

oh yes harry will grow up to be
like this and Lady ludlow will be powerless to resist.
and so will septimus

Piffle is cast and runs off with the Lord of the Manor

Surely Rupert Everett for Septimus....pained, chissled features, great bone structure and wonderfully camp and naughty.

oh good call. i was thinking david Walliams but Rupert would be great.LOL
