For the past two weeks, I’ve watched this series on Acorn. There are 6 seasons, and I’ve now watched every episode. I’ve been trying to describe it to people, but it’s hard to describe because it’s a comedy and drama in one. There are lots of things to complain about - like annoying characters - but it was often laugh-out-loud hilarious and I really enjoyed it, and now that it’s over I really miss it!
As I watched it, I started noticing that the characters had gorgeous stuff in their homes! I had become used to British shows set in old-fashioned quaint villages, so this was a huge change of scenery. I loved the modern bright and colourful kitchen appliances, coffee mugs, lamps, and even telephones and ironing boards! I would love some of those things in my house, but I’ve never seen them in stores here. I was reminded of the last time I went to Italy and I went with my cousin to a department store to buy a new iron. I was in awe of the display of irons in every colour you can imagine. It was the same with the vacuum cleaners I saw.
Another thing I liked about the show was the music they played. In one episode in particular they played a really cute song that I’ve been trying to find. It’s at the end of S4E8, the song they play during the final scenes and credits. I’ve searched for the lyrics in various websites that promise to find the names of songs, but nothing comes up. From the way some of the words are pronounced, I’m pretty sure it’s a British song so maybe I should be searching in a British database (if one exists). There’s even a Spotify list of songs from the show, but this one isn’t included. If anyone can help, I’d be very grateful! You don’t even have to watch the episode - just fast-forward to the final two minutes and see if you recognize the song. Thanks in advance!
