A quick post, since I'm typing and about to go to bed (it's taken all day to do 600 words ... I hate days like this) but my family are watching Lark Rise on sky plus. I love this show so much, even if it might be a little twee and not really have much action or sex or whatever. That it's a successful show without that says so much for its writing. Plus, it has my favourite actress in it (Olivia Hallinan. And Claire likes Jonathan Creek so she loves that Julia Sawalha is in it too) so it makes it more watchable. But I didn't realise until the end of the second season that it's actually based on a book (just the one, worst luck) ... I might add that to the never ending list of books I want to own/read ...
... I felt I should mention some relevant, new media here, since I must seem a little eccentric otherwise. I know a period piece doesn't exactly back that up, but they stopped filming Girls In Tears (God, Jacqueline Wilson strikes again!). Coincidentally, Zara Abrahams was in Girls In Tears too, before Coronation Street and Dancing On Ice. There, something slightly more cutting edge, lol.
