Mum's Monday Howards' Way

 Warning Spoilers


These serieses start off sensible enough for a family of 2 point 4 children. However to give this program an in depth storyline there is the affair and subsequent split. I do like Tom (Maurice Colbourne) and Avril (Susan Gilmore) together, they just work.


I don’t like Ken (Stephen Yardley). He is brilliantly described by Tom and I agree and can see it in him.


I can see the reasoning behind Lynn (Tracey Childs) making the crossing, but I do have to question 1. Her buildup/preparation was lacking when you consider the supplies she would need and 2. What was shown in New York and on the journey home against the buildup to and the supplies that were not shown.


Now the series seems to have changed, during the episode where they launch the boat ‘Lynnette’ with who is who’s father. It seems to have lost some of it’s sensible feel good nature. There were also holes in the script. Before Jack (Glyn Owen) and Kate (Dulcie Gray) were getting along and now they don’t seem to be with no explanation, unless I missed something.


This has gone from really good and sensible to sadly, ridiculous with who is with who, I don’t actually like Polly (Patricia Shakesby), which is a disappointment in what could have been an entirely feel good program. Most programs get better over their time, this does the exact opposite and ruins your lasting impression of it.

  I thought the same. So, where is she? If Lovejoy (Ian McShane) says ‘He will get one’ I suppose he will. I suppose, I would say, it depends on what you paid for a painting a nice ‘Fake’ at a fake price is fine, but if you pay a genuine price tag, then you could be out of pocket/at a loss. A mother is a mother so that covers all. A chain is forming. I am glad he was ‘Word perfect’ With a compliment to Lovejoy, not that ‘Old’ then. All these rhetorical questions. These are amusing to hear. ‘George?’ so funny. A coincidence, the same outfit, oh dear. Sweet.  Oh, for the best, Ibelieve. ‘Closed’. That is good. Oh that, well at least the deal was done.

Fun Friday Love Knots Lovejoy

  It is nice to hear about the history of a collectible antique as we very rarely get to know where or why things are as they are. I really feel for Jane (Phyllis Logan) and it is sad that Alex (Pavel Douglas) is saying all the wrong things. Also I agree he should be around more for her to ask. That was good timing. I do feel for Jane it is horrible to watch. Just as Tinker (Dudley Sutton) was talking about travelling in his dreams . i thought of the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang where Grandpa Potts (Lionel Jeffries) did most of his travelling through daydreaming and all of sudden Tinker spots a character in the auction room called Potts (Tony Caunter). This is a completely surprising coincidence. Now we hear Tinker talk about the interesting messages left and things are getting heated in the auction room. I don’t like that he stopped bidding either, it is disappointing to watch. That is a big dog. So funny poor Lovejoy (Ian McShane) sit down. That is one spoilt dog and that is an u...

Fun Friday Eric Of Arabia Lovejoy

  It is an eye opener and quite true, can something be classed as original when parts have been replaced due to wear and tear?. This part reminded me of the TV program Only Fools And Horses with David Jason. Where the character Trigger (Roger Lloyd Pack) was going to get an award for having the same broom whilst working. This would have been fine if he hadn’t revealed that the broom had had so many new heads and so many new handles. Lovejoy’s (Ian McShane) take on this is not quite so amusing but works for the episode. This bike business is now getting amusingly action packed and cringingly dubbed. What a find. Very useful.  Not the music again. Fascinating stuff. Thank you for reading Sandra
