The Pie in the Sky series was fun. Liked Foyle's War and Doc Martin, well and all the others, too. I reluctantly ordered up Little Dorritt, thinking it would be too treacly. But it was really very good and introduced me to Eddie Marsan, who played Mr. Pancks with obvious relish. Through Netflix's great set-up I found Marsan again in a film I liked a lot: Happy Go Lucky. He is anger personified as a driving instructor. On a Google site, he was described as "ubiquitous" at present.
Downton has so many loose threads that keep getting looser. I kind of wish they would tie up a couple and move on, except that I hope we've not seen the last of Mr. Bates.
