Jun. 27th, 2005 09:38 pmI've finally got round to ordering Hetty Wainthropp season two. *bg* So that's something to look forward to in about a month and a half.
Hetty Alert
May. 20th, 2005 01:46 pmSo apparently the local PBS channel has been playing Hetty Wainthropp for a while now. I've been checking in periodically to see if it was showing and hadn't seen anything, but it's because it isn't listed on their Program A-Z guide. Grr!
Anyway, they're near the end of season three and it looks like they're going to continue on to season four. Of course, I'll only be here for another week, so I'll only get to see this week's and next week's. I'll have to find out if the PBS station in New Hampshire is playing it as well.
Even though I've missed all of season two and most of three, I'm still happy to be able to see any episodes at all! New (for me) Hetty is a good thing. :)

So I had a bit of a Hetty Wainthropp marathon last night. Watched the first four episodes, with two left for tonight. *bg* My favorite moment so far comes at the beginning of episode four, 'Widdershins,' when seventeen year old Geoffrey (Dom Monaghan) shows up at the Wainthropp door with a teddy bear in one arm, a soccer ball in the other and all his bits and bobs in bags, scattered at his feet. "I've been chucked out," he says with a little boy lost expression, "I'm homeless." I had to go back and see it again. It was too cute.
Of course, it's not all about the Monaghan. The show itself is very good. I have a penchant for liking middle-aged (and older) female detectives. I love Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. Hetty's blend of tough, no-nonsense older person and gentle, caring motherly woman make her a fascinating heroine.
Unfortunately there are almost no extras on the DVD, which is a shame. There is one interview with Patricia Routledge, a filmography for each of the primary actors, and a photo gallery. That's about it.
Still, all in all, a very good set of DVDs and I hope they sell well enough that Acorn Media puts the other four series of Hetty on DVD as well.

Well, I've got my evening's entertainment all planned out. I ordered the season one boxset of 'Hetty Wainthropp Investigates' over the weekend and it arrived today. So for once I'm okay with the fact that there's nothing good on TV.
