[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 210728, member: 23"] Well, my sojourn in Marlbury has drawn to a close. Despite previous watches, the finale took me by surprise. I knew how the series ended, but I'd forgotten how much time was taken to set up the proposal in the final episode. Around fifteen minutes in I started to feel I'd miscounted and was only watching the penultimate episode. The groundwork laid with Richard's financial troubles was appreciated. The 25th Wedding Anniversary special, too, was very enjoyable. There's something quite timeless about the series, I think, and it works well in the 21st century. Perhaps I shouldn't be, but I was slightly taken aback by the anti EU sentiment in the writing and from the actors in the making of feature. Perhaps I noticed it more this time because it's perhaps even more topical - and sensitive - a subject today. I also like that Brabinger was an important enough character for his temporary absence to become part of the storyline. Many series would simply have thrown a line or two into the dialogue and that would be that. From watching the behind-the-scenes feature for the 25th Wedding Anniversary special it's clear that the cast were very fond indeed of John Rudling. Ha ha. Indeed. [/QUOTE]
