Gonna rewatch Rosemary and Thyme but starting with the Italian Rapscalion for one reason; the mysterious joke of cough drops.
Now, Janice, I have since discovered went on to play the first pansexual soap character of UK telly, on Doctors. Also, Dr Llewellyn or should I say Chief Wizard Egbert Hellibore (The Worst Witch, 1998-01) is in this and looks far less cool without his beard. I love spotting faces in this show.
Rosemary's 2nd Really? when Sir Basil is yapping at her is very much giving, I smell bullshit.
Also, I do think the pastilles joke is not a sex thing but rather a look at what this English guy built of the back off a wee thing like a sweetie. Because the house is massive as are the gardens in somewhere luxurious like Italy and Rosemary, who I think is probably quite a bit posher than Laura, is like well yeah, men made their fortunes off small things all the time. Weird thing for you to be giddy/nostalgic about aka, looking at her wife as if to say, you are such a fucking dork.
Emma is such a nosey scallywag but she lacks that instinct that Rosemary and Laura have. I think it may be that her brain is steeped in alcohol hahaha.
The way Emma says machine always confused me, but now I wonder if she's actually saying it in Italian rather than pulling a I'm going to mispronounce this for the shits and giggles.
Rosemary what is with the fucking layers? You got a white shirt, a pink one, a purple jumper AND a jacket! Girl, is your skin that fucking thin?
Oh, my god her face when Llewellyn reveals a) that he's gay and b) that he and Fabrizio are an item is a picture; she is more shocked I think that Fabrizio was involved at all. Her face after the first reveal honestly makes me think she knew one or two academic colleagues having affairs with each other so is unfazed by the concept.
Laura has had Janice's post for all of 2 seconds and she's got her nose in it already; is this not a crime in Italy? I do wonder what happened to the real Basil?
Sir Basil is lying far too neatly to be honest, for someone who was pushed.
The police just love to yap, giving as much info as possible to R&T, because who cares for privacy during an investigation. Once again though we come around to thinking about people's patterns and motives.
Is it even an episode of Rosemary and Thyme if they don't keep evidence from the police after finding it at the scene of the crime?
Din dins, is a horrible phrase and you should be shot for saying it/j
Ah yes, the old sleeping with your bra on habit television insists on showing, which is insane, like I've forgotten I have one on from time to time but once I remember I take it off because that is so uncomfy.
Is it controversial to say I don't think Gloria's pots are that bad, they look quite pretty actually.
That is a fire line actually 2 birds, 1 stone...like the stone you used on Janice Alexander? Damn Laura!
So the actual Sir Basil died alone and without an id, a John Doe?
Ok, so what was Emma's plan with the restaurant? Like, Rosemary and Laura have done it all basically but if they'd had to go home, who was meant to be cooking? Did her chef bail on her, was she going to do it and then bailed on the idea? I need to know how Laura and Rosemary ended up as Emma's staff.
Also, I kinda wish that Llewellyn and Fabrizio got a scene together at the end of episode, because yes they admit they were living together but other than that they only actually have very impersonal lines about one another and that's kinda sad.
These thoughts are mostly random and barely proofread lol
