absolutely loving it... i find myself chuckling and guffawing away!... and yet getting a little teary too!

anyone else get a little choked up as ruby and dorcas sat there with baby annie discussing (or not discussing) their childless situation!?

there's nothing better then putting the kiddies to bed, making yourself a cup of tea (and cutting a slice of cake!) and sitting back and enjoying! - except i have to watch it on iplayer as dancing on ice clashes!

sigh!

i love it too!!!!!!!
I know it isn;t very much like the book, nonetheles, its fab!!!

Tidgypuds · 29/01/2009 20:57

Oh its my favourite too! I love it and look forward to it every week.

slackrunner · 29/01/2009 20:58

It's perfect Sunday night viewing - it always takes the edge off Sunday nights (stops me focussing on Monday work).

I love it! I makes me cry, laugh and go soft inside. Dorcas Lane is a fantastic character, Julia Swalaha (or whatever it is) is just great.

MissTFied · 29/01/2009 22:39

I like it, although it does grate on me the way Julia Sawalha whispers the whole way through.

MissTFied · 29/01/2009 22:41

Oh and I also dislike the way the post office girl wobbles her head all the time.

Picky, aren't I?

warthog · 29/01/2009 22:41

i think it's fantastic.

thomas is the best.

pellmell · 29/01/2009 22:54

it's great isn't it!
I'm a bit biased as we literally live within a stones-throw of where the book is based.(not filmed here though)

slackrunner · 30/01/2009 07:24

Does anyone know where it's filmed? The location is gorgeous. I'm guessing Oxon/ Glos/ Wilts?

billysitch · 30/01/2009 12:13

It is MY one weakness, and I am secretly in love with Thomas, swooooooooonnnnnnnnnnn

bea · 30/01/2009 13:41

We always watch it too. It's perfect for Sundays.

Summer looks how summer should look in the countryside, winter looks how winter should look and everyone's problems all done and dusted inside an hour.

It reminds me a tiny bit - an English version - of Little House on the Prairie, which I always loved too()

I miss the old woman in it Zillah(?) she was great. Twister is a bit creepy though!

PenelopePitstops · 30/01/2009 14:00

I love this!

thomas is the best, timmins a close second!

Acinonyx · 30/01/2009 19:09

One of my favourites too. Very charming and gentle.

bea · 30/01/2009 20:07

it fulfils my anne of green gables yearnings...!

I love this too!

It just so nice.

warthog · 05/02/2009 18:37

who is timmins

bluesky · 05/02/2009 19:21

Laura's Dad. Who when he smiles reminds me of Christopher Dean (skating) it's the creases around the eyes, twinkly eyes.

I was watching Dancing on Ice, and couldn't think WHO he reminded me of .....

warthog · 05/02/2009 19:32

ooooh yes he IS gorgeous!

hertsnessex · 05/02/2009 19:32

i love it aswell, such a heart warming series to watch xxx

scampadoodle · 05/02/2009 19:39

TsarChasm I agree with you about Little House on the Prairie, I've long thought that about it.
Have missed last 3 eps though - what's happened?

Oh god, when was LHOTP last on?! 20 years of catch-up...

The last ep of Larkrise I saw, Dorcas had stood for parish council & the Timminses had made up. I can probably see last Sunday's on Iplayer so it's just the 2 inbetween.

Thanks cat.

It's great isn't it, that so little happens?! Not like Spooks, eh.

A big clock...is it phallic by any chance?
