Dawn French and Mark Heap are a delight! :)

Linda Ann Sheldon I loved them both - exc. Mark's mustache. Interesting to see them much less caricatured than they are in LR2C. Dawn is such a delight.

Last night I watched the 2020 British mini-series "The Trouble with Maggie Cole." It was about the dangers of gossip, but I also saw it as showing the dangers of only knowing half of the story, and then jumping to conclusions - making wrong conclusions from only knowing and being able to see half of the story. Either tell the whole story, or don't tell any of the story. Avoid the appearance of evil bec. Then people are then only getting a portion of the story.

Fun to see Dawn French and Mark Heap is more realistic roles than their charicatured roles in "Larkrise to Candleford." Dawn was all Dawn in both, she is such a delight - that smile of hers lights up an entire room.

IMDB is nuts that it is poorly written. It well written The girl that plays the daughter-in-law was so cute and so funny and so wry?, outside of Mark and Dawn, she was my favorite. Fun to see the British small town seaside scenery. I have to go spend so time now in a small British town.

I had heard of it, but hadn't thought of trying to find it, but the other afternoon while searching the Orem Library for the LDS "Pride and Prejudice" I happened to see it, so decided to watch it to see Dawn and Mark.

At the beginning you start off feeling kind of dirty hearing the things that Dawn's character "Maggie" says, but then when you see her very sincere heartfelt albeit sometimes clumsy and comical desire to make things right with all of her friends you fall in love with her. The other IMDB reviewers were nuts that she isn't sincere.

Anyway, it does present some interesting thing to think about.
