I am an avid reader, each birthday and Christmas I am giving books, all sorts of books, lots of books and I am never disappointed… this Christmas my other half gave me ’COMFORT AND JOY’ a novel by INDIA KNIGHT. I follow India on twitter and read her Sunday Times columns, I have read The Thrift Book which I found both witty and helpful…so he was on a safe bet I would enjoy this latest book…I did, very much. I have been asked (on twitter and in real world)…was it good? so here is my short take on it, can’t say the word ‘review’ … Read More »

A lovely sunny day….. what better than to take the day off and popped down to Chichester, West Sussex with a friend and we spent some time in the Pallant House Gallery. The exhibition we both wanted to see is the EDWARD BURRA, it did not disappoint, it opened on the 35th anniversary of his death and runs until February 21st 2012. Of course you can’t take photos of the work but a gorgeous rotund tummied man said I could take a few snaps of the gallery (for this read landing) he was most helpful and rather lovely, he had an overwhelming passion for … Read More »
I’m sure we’re all feeling a few pounds heavier after Christmas, and this time of year is peppered with work out DVD’s, diet tips and the old lose weight fast tricks. So when I heard the words ‘Downsize in Dubai’ mentioned in the background on a certain morning TV programme, my ears pricked up. I’m not looking to lose a lot of weight, but find like many women the whole dieting and weight loss industry fascinating. What I heard reallyshocked me. Apparently viewers choose the contestants from a shortlist of people whom they feel deserve this ‘once in a lifetime’ opportunity’ to go to … Read More »

Downton Abbey may have had its share of critics over this last series – too many Ad breaks and too fast moving – but last night’s final episode of this series means Sunday nights just won’t be the same. There can be no better measure of a programme’s success than by knowing it will be sorely missed once over. Downton has filled a gap in our TV viewing, even though the plots have been somewhat suspect at times, and last night’s script was fairly predictable – sorry Lavinia Swire, you were always going to be the poor relation to those Grantham girls and never going to stay the … Read More »

Did anyone else see ‘ Who do you think you are’ last night? It featured Emilia Fox and included the best 5 minutes in television for a long, long time, namely the scene where Emilia visited her great aunts in Cornwall. What a pair of utterly amazing ladies – pure Downton Abbey. Where was Dame Maggie Smith? Catch it now on BBC i player. Wednesday night, BBC 1 at 9.00 pm marigold x
It’s cold, it’s wet, it’s miserable. Summer is well and truly over, financial markets are in disarray, Cupcake’s hard drive is on the blink and she’s lost all e-mail and internet contact and the world is an uncertain place. But the shining light on the horizon is that Downton Abbey is back – don’t forget, ITV, Sunday 18th September at 9.00. Pure TV heaven. If only for an hour, the world can go away. Marigold x

It’s countdown for the last episode – in this series at least – of my current favourite programme, The Hour. Don’t forget to tune in tonight, BBC 2 at 9.00 pm. Tuesday evenings just won’t be the same – thank goodness for the Borgias on Saturday. marigold x

Sex, passion, beauty, twisted plots, palaces, incest, intrigue, family feuds and moral dilemmas. Add sword fighting, manipulative women and acres of sumptuous velvet drapes and dresses, and this is pure TV heaven. Think Dallas meets Ancient Rome with Jeremy Irons as the JR of the Vatican. Forget the unrealistic Disneyesque street sets, just soak up the drama. Saturday BBC2 at 9.00 pm. Compelling. marigold x interesting clip on The Borgias Clip (The Art of War: Neil Jordan) http://www.imdb.com/video/cbs/vi174300441/

After last week’s episode which felt more like 24 – hours that is – slow and somewhat banal, I’m pleased to say this week’s episode was a good’un with things hotting up both in the bedroom and on the cutting room floor. Ben Whishaw continues to shine – so well cast and looking so 1950′s he’ll start to wish he was he that was his vintage. And Anna Chancellor is as fabulous as ever. Crisper dialogue, a faster pace and the plot thickens - is there a Soviet Agent inside the BBC? It’s all very Midsomer Murders – easy on the eye, lovely sets and pretty improbable plots. Every time I hear the … Read More »

Am I loving this! The Hour, BBC 2′s new drama series (Tuesday at 9.00 pm) is improving by the minute – and at the end of the second episode I think its starting to get going and get us all guessing. For me it ticks all the boxes – fashion, intrigue, good looks, nostalgia – a bit like the best bits of all the films/series you’ve enjoyed rolled into one 60 minute news episode. Its certainly not perfect – Belle’s (Romola Garai) character seems far too gentle to have reached her position as producer of a live news programme in her late 20′s (remember, this was … Read More »

OK, I know I’m a day late, (internet problems) but just wanted to share with you my thoughts on The Hour, BBC 2′s new Tuesday night drama. Set in the 50′s, this follows the launch of a new TV news programme, with plenty of glamour, sex and intrigue thrown in to add some spice. Whilst it was slow to get going, I think I’m soon going to get hooked. For me, Ben Whishaw stole the show, or should I say the first episode. Producer Romola Garai fitted her vintage fashion perfectly - I guess this is Mad Men for the BBC – and Dominic West added plenty of … Read More »
