You got the episode number right, ThelmaLou. I checked IDMB, where I also saw that a season 5 is listed!
I like Will a lot. He’s frank and a bit passionate. I still miss Sidney, but Will’s coming along.
I was suspecting grandma early on because as soon as they mentioned the wife wanting to put grandma in a home, I was reminded of an Agatha Christie murder which was quite similar.
Cathy’s going to tell Geordie eventually and Geordie is going to kick the shit out of Cathy’s boss. Yes, the big boss’s lecture was typical and the same scenario is still going on in the real world, or at least it was until a few years ago.
I broke down and watched the last two episodes today. I shall say no more at this time, except I felt better at the end. Very glad there’s a fifth season, although the imdb doesn’t show any real content for it yet. Do we have to wait a whole year?? I guess.
Perhaps Geordie could use some of those detective skills to figure out why his wife is upset? He might start by noting the change in mood corresponded with the anniversary dinner.
I liked the last episode. The actor who plays Leonard Finch (Al Weaver) is knocking it out of the park, and his character is overshadowing Will.
I loved the Cathy Keating/Mrs. C gangup on the pervy floorwalker. Was the big order that Mrs. C placed for real, or was she just pretending in order to get leverage?
Mrs. C is still aggressive towards Daniel. Why? She seems to have gotten over Leonard’s orientation, so she might as well include Daniel in that as well.
Will’s mother is a piece of work. The estate is in debt and so must be sold. I don’t know what she thinks Will can do to keep her in that crumbly old heap. So that drama will carry over into the new season.
You are so right! He is such a complex character. Will is just a bland slice of white bread. “My flock needs me”? I don’t see him doing any pastoral work.
That was fantastic! Mrs. C bought the stuff for real. She made a comment at the end about how her husband was going to be surprised when he found out how much she spent.
This really bothers me. She HASN’T gotten over Leonard being gay. She could turn a blind eye until she caught them kissing. When the three of them were sitting down to talk, she said, “I haven’t forgiven yet.” It’s not her place to forgive! Even if Leonard is living a lifestyle that she thinks is sinful, it’s not for her to judge. And here she is, having found love late in her life and she has the gall to deny that to Leonard. The writers better figure out a way to resolve this!
Will didn’t show any empathy toward her. He is useless when dealing with emotional situations. Just what you want in a priest. :rolleyes:
I miss Sidney. I miss Sidney and Geordie together.
I was interested in the portrayal of the Teddy Boys in the last episode. Weird to see a bunch of boys rebelling, in part, by dressing up like Edwardian dandies, with suits, ties and polished shoes. I didn’t much like that Mrs Chapman refused to let Daniel visit the parish house but perhaps the idea is that for her to accept Leonard as he was was enough of a step forward for a village woman of the time. And so far Will seems a poor substitute for Sidney Chambers.
