8thOb, I've been watching. After first episode I nearly didn't but I'm sticking with it, however I imagine not many people here are but I'd welcome your opinions. (I haven't seen many reviews about it and have no idea how it's doing ratings-wise)Originally posted by eighthobstructionLast edited by Nick Armstrong; 16-04-13, 18:09.Comment

We didn't make it through the first episode. Beyond grim - and that was just John Simm's table manners. Wife having to entice husband upstairs to distract him from beating the boy just too horrible, came over all squeamish.Comment

I see The Village as a series of snapshots, of vignettes, ...... doesn't anyone else?
Viewed on that level, rather than a joined up story, I think it's panning out quite well.
(Isn't it set in Derbyshire, East Midlands where wheat growing is possible?)Comment

Don't start getting technical with me....it will end in tears....John Simms characters accent shows hes from LEEDS....chuck
I'd like your recipe for vignette....do you use garlic, or just oil,vinegar and salt....bong chingComment
