Yes but it will all boil down to ratings I expect Doghouse, although we on here are keen on the series I have no idea!, do you?, what the figures are!.....
For me, they made the mistake of going forward in time in series two. We know Sarah becomes "the lady of the house," and Olivia has a daughter, as the reporter who visits Sarah, as I remember it is Olivia's granddaughter, (same actress). |

No idea but it's an afternoon programme, it should be able to hold it's own against the "usual schedual fillers."

Ah, my question has been answered. George did know Anna was Carolyn's child, and now knows who her father is.
I love the change in Elizabeth. Enjoying this so much. |

I love the change in Elizabeth. Enjoying this so much. A good episode, though Gino's homophobia is beginning to irritate. New storylines opening up to sustain the series. What puzzled me, was that in some previous episodes, the titles of popular contemporary recordings of the particular year in which the storyline was set, have been used as the title of the episode. This one was titled; "Somewhere Beyond the Sea." Perhaps someone can explain why. As far as I can recall though, I didn't hear this tune, maybe I skipped over it when watching the recording. This was popular in 1956, by Roger Williams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amlKhHntcDU The Bobby Darin hit wasn't released until 1959. |

Wonderful piece of music, "When I Grow too old to Dream".
I want it played at my funeral. |

It was a touching scene. It looked like she was playing and singing live too. If not, it was well directed and edited, matter of fact and not overdone or schmaltzy.
By the mid fifties it was the age of the gramophone record. The men in the hostel would have been far more familiar with that than anything of the fifties. |

My introduction to that song was almost 20 years ago on Kiri Te Kanawa's "Blue Moon", but my favourite version is Doris Day's

Other versions released through the decades, including those by Gracie Fields, Vera Lynne, Nat "King" Cole, The Everly Brothers, Linda Rondstadt and Diana Krall. I like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQjgfssMgtA |

Is there no episode today. I have nothing recorded? I think Tennis was on instead.

As an aside, I have Sydney on my Bucket List, (including the Bridge Walk ), and have recently added the property used for Ash Park

Carries on Monday, ep 7.
As an aside, I have Sydney on my Bucket List, (including the Bridge Walk ), and have recently added the property used for Ash Parkhttp://www.camdenadvertiser.com.au/s...melots-future/ We climbed the bridge on our last visit in 2007. It was pouring with rain at the time. My daughter has recently spent 8 months in Sydney. Her family climbed the bridge in temperatures of 40c last month a couple of days before coming home. |

Really missed not seeing my favourite programme today. Tchh! Tennis!
I see I was wrong about Rose being Georgie's real mum, unless there are more twists to come. Does anyone know where the house is that is shown on the aerial shots they show before scenes at the Swanson's house. I don't know if it is the same one used in filming but it looks massive so must surely be a well known property. |

Really missed Fridays episode as well although I had seen that the tennis was on instead so it wasn't a surprise to me!...
But I am already on countdown to the end of this series and feeling very blue about it!..... Cant wait for next series to be here!.... Although I suppose it will be a year wait for it!..... ![]() ![]() ![]() The only upside I can see is that the Doctor Blake Mysteries will be on in its place, Although!.. I see it starts at 8/10 so not sure what is happening there?.... are they re-peating the end of the last series to bring us up to date, or did we not go right to the end of the series on the last screening?..... Confused!.....

Today's edition takes a dark turn and IMO took a little of the sweetness out of the show that I liked.

I wish we could have seen a few more flashbacks of Rene/Sarah. They loved each other so much, and even in his altered state Rene tried to let Sarah go and live her life so in his own damaged way he still loved her very much. It would have been nice to see more of what they had in the past even in just little few second snippets like the dancing in Ep 1 of this run. As well as the snippet with Rene 1.0 getting arrested by the Nazi's in the first series.
It's obviously not going to work out for them with this operation given the synopsis for episode 10. I would have just liked to see a bit more of them to get invested in it more. Or seen flashes of the Rene he was more often to see what it was Sarah fell so wildly in love with. Plus we always knew Sarah becomes Lady of the house because we saw in with Old Sarah. |

This has now become like any soap. We're being navigated by the writers into a; "What will happen in the next series?" situation.
Actually I'm beginning not to care. It's all "doom and gloom," Caroline over the rape accusation. She should have run screaming from her flat. There must be people in the other apartments. It's not as if she's fifteen. Olivia's baby seems to be joined to her at the hip, she's become an annoyance. Then George and his "marriage of convenience." That was ridiculous. The Anna and Carlo situation is getting boring. I had high hopes for this series, but much of it has been a disappointment. The absense of so many of contemporary recordings, so much a feature of the first series, is a sad loss, it add so much to the contemporary feel. But credit to "wardrobe," Reggie's outfits never fail to impress. We know how it all ends as we've seen it in series two. |

Sorry, Doghouse Riley, but I don't agree.
I think we must remember it is set in the 50's and the family are upper class so actions would be much different to today. Olivia would have nothing else to do but look after her baby and take tea. Anna and Carlo are demonstrating the difference in their class and his pride in being the breadwinner. I can see that George married Regina as he now believes there is no future for him with Sarah so he might as well concentrate on his political career. Not ridiculous at all. The music makes no difference to my viewing of the story as I have no idea if the recordings are authentic or not, and there is a lot to learn about how Sarah ends up at Ash Park. I can't wait to see how the next series will continue but I don't want this series to end. I have been enthralled from start to finish. |

I have just found out that Ben Winspear who plays Rene is actually Marta Dusseldorp's (Sarah's) husband in real life.
No wonder her acting was so emotional today. |
