What is going on with that show? My better half is outraged that they are killing off the best characters.

God forbid! This might entail the spawning of an offshoot series called The Crawleys, mightn't it?!...Originally posted by Eine Alpensinfonie View Post
I've often wondered why, in these economically challenged times, someone doesn't try to merge soaps so that there are fewer of them; EastArchers would be a good start, swiftly followed by Emanation Street, perhaps...
Anyway, back to Upstairs Downton; I'm just wondering who the principal characters will deal with the three-day week, punk and the miners' strike, let alone MPs' expenses and the financial crisis...Comment

Heartbeat was a soap too. Except that it had no concept of time as we know it. Even in Nick Rowan's time, we saw a car tax disc dated 12/69 after which his daughter grew to the age of around 4, then Nick left for Canada and several winters passed and Maggie Bolton got back with Dr Bolton and they had a child who almost reached school age before leaving the cast. Gina Ward had her first pregnancy, but then had a long relationship with an artist before having a second pregnancy, and the long drawn-out Australian story. By the end of this, it was mid-1969!Comment

Acorn Antiques was the only soap worth watching (IMHO of course). Acting that surpassed anything in Eastenders.

For Mrs Finegold's information, from a profile interview with Lynn Barber in the Sunday Times a while ago it sounded as if lead actor Dan Stevens wanted to leave. The only plausible [sic] option for the scriptwriters was to kill him off.Comment

....Yes, heartbroken that they are killing them off 'just like that' (are they?)....indeed they should be left to a long long lingering excrutiating painful death having to watch it being played out again and again on Channel Dave....Originally posted by richardfinegold View Post

Hmmm - perhaps you're right. It's impossible to send up the original when the original does such a good job of sending up itself
