:-P. I wish this story had featured Esther and Lord Babbington as the main hero/heroine instead. There are so many tantalizing threads to pick up on here, so many forks in roads and paths. Thanks, Maureen. He does not deserve being all right. She couldnt care less about cards. Cant live without it. Thats how I see it anyway. After a tearful cliffside goodbye, they both left town for good? Even though parts of Sanditon didn't entirely feel like Jane Austen herself, it was wholly entertaining novel and very delightful to be back in an Austen inspired world. I dont really understand all the outrage. The opportunity is there for a real love story, but not until she grows up a little and he commits to being honorable and seriously understanding his responsibility to protecting her and her money. I actually enjoyed the movie Pride and Prejudice and Zombies better than the ending of this mini-series. The dancing continues, with Lord Babb and Esther, Arthur and Georgiana, and the rest of the assembled guests having great fun. I hope I am not completely alone in championing Andrew Davies, he is a skilled and prolific writer and I quite like what he has done with expanding the brilliant first 11 chapters that Ms. Austen put to paper 203 years ago. The only way to redeem this is if we get a second season and then Davies might come up with some stupid twist the second time around. As for my feelings about the final episode: Boooo, Andrew Davies!! (#1 goes to the London ball, and #3 to the assembly ball at the beginning of the series.) I will leave it there its not about me but it had to do with the character transforming and understanding something about women that he had never known before. This leaves Charlotte heartbroken and she decides to leave the town of Sanditon and Sidney behind. As i am firmly Team Stringer, i dont really mind that Sidney Parker is henceforth unavailablealways excepting an early widowhood, possibly his wife will die in childbed and he will make haste to provide his infant daughter with a kindly stepmother and his feckless elder brother with a fortune to squander. Anyway, I am disappointed that Charlotte didnt get her man. Sanditon airs Sundays at 8:00 p.m. and is available to stream the following day. We may receive books (physical or digitized) and DVDs for review purposes. Charlotte and Sidney continue to clash, resulting in Miss Lambe being placed in terrible danger. Sanditon is MASTERPIECE's bold and lavish adaptation of Jane Austen 's final work. Thats why it feels like a betrayal to people. Sidney and Charlotte should be together. We must have the Charlotte with Sidney eventuality. None of my friends watch Masterpiece and I have no one to share my grief with. Wed have to watch it, and it wouldnt be any better than this season, which was quite painful. Sanditon fans got the kind of very good news that once seemed like it was never coming earlier this year: not only is the period drama returning for a long-awaited second season, but received an . Im not sure many thought that Otis was a good fit for Georgiana, whose actions proved her immaturity. This is the first time Ive been labeled as honored. Usually people give me less agreeable monickers, many of which cannot be printed in a family friendly blog. Arthur interrupts to ask Miss Lambe to dance. there is a bts presumably late in season of beach w g and mom sitting . Terrible! It wasnt his fault that the plot went nowhere and the characters were untrue to Austen. Miss Lambe is a seventeen-year-old girl brought to Sanditon by Mrs. Griffiths, along with two Miss Beauforts. Davies and his writers failed on so many levels to pick up on Austens clues. The music climaxes in volume. Downton Abbey did such a great job of providing a completed story each season. Like Downton Abbey it deserves more from these fine actors and actresses. We all know the story is incomplete We agree on so many points. If there *is* a season 2, I will go into with lowered expectations for what this story should look/feel/sound/be like and Id try to actually enjoy it. She was the only truly Jane Austen character in the whole series. But almost anyone can know her intentions when she took up the pen. I dont think there should be another season.Just leave it ,ragged, and unfinished. MASTERPIECE Sanditon Episode Four Sunday, January 26, 2020; 9:00 - 10:00pm ET Lord Babington courts Esther, who prefers Edward. A chance accident brings Charlotte Heywood to Sanditon, a seaside resort on the cusp of dramatic change. This is also not Poldark, where the marriage is the focal point rather than the culmination. But no solution is found for Miss Lambe! I guess first impressions are real. Tom, who was riding high a few hours ago with visions of profits dancing in his head, is utterly destroyed financially. Where is the circulating library, which Austen mentions in her manuscript? My idea of a good mini series is the dialogue of clever, well informed characters, who have a great deal of good conversation, true to original writings. ITV cancelled the British period drama series after the first season due to poor ratings in the UK, but the show had decent ratings on PBS. Sanditon is back! Sanditon might have been tolerable enough if they had left any expectation of Janes wit out of it. I cant quite see the match, but found the insinuation intriguing. Yuck-patooey. Oh wait, I am mistaken, that is not a good mini series, that is the best! II, By CHARLES G. HARPER. Well done you, Lord Babb. I envision Charlotte choosing Austens path of remaining independent. The show can be watched on PBA stations in the US and have a total of eight episodes available. I didnt edit very well either! After reading through the comments, I realize that, while there are plenty of plot strands which could be developed for a second season, none of them draws my interest as much as the Sidney/Charlotte one and that one has, failing another DEM, is DOA. Her work still shines to this day and it is her characters that began their development in those first 11 chapters that defined what Sanditon is. They just didnt match up for me. Crystal. While I enjoyed the series on a surface level, I could not resist writing tongue in cheek recaps. Most galling, to me, was the final scene. :). Jane Austen characters are supposed to learn from each other and grow, so that by the end of the story the heroine and hero are made better by each other. *Yeah, whatev,* I think. That is what I call a good mini series. I didnt have the benefit of wine and cheese but my reaction to the final scene was identical to yours. Austen fans are likely quite familiar with Sense and Sensibility, Emma and Pride and Prejudice, but many may not. Charlotte has both sense and sensibility, though she lacks an older sister. Miss Charlotte Heywood: of Willingden, Sussex. When the arrival of two eligible bachelors signals a potential change in status for the Bennet sisters, their marriage-minded mother is sent into a frenzy, and the lively, witty Elizabeth Bennet goes head-to-head with smoldering, haughty Mr. Darcy. The viewers were cheated. I would watch a second season if it primarily followed these characters (Lady Babbington navigates the London social scene?? Instead Davies will have Sydney go off to fight Napoleon to get away from Eliza. It will have to go some to beat the BBCs version with Romola Garai. and coming out of it on the other side, the way Esther did (dark to light), I think it would improve his character and my opinion of him. No. I wonder what she's up to. they will sometimesspend (really) 10 minutes on a interlude; they give time to dialogues to develop and we get real thought from the characters. I agree. Died off Prome, the 7th October 1852, while in command of the Naval Expedition on the river Irrawady against the Burmese Forces, aged 73 years.. We'll own up to our mistakes and will make the corrections with a polite smile on our faces.) I wouldve liked her being so cunning as to use it as a way learn about her heirs suitability for receiving an inheritance. The Ms. Lambe scenario is quite reasonably played out so far, has everyone forgotten that Otis is a rather flamboyant gambler. Thank you for the patience for going through this. The episode opens with our lovely Miss Charlotte walking on air through the one intersection of the Sanditon set that viewers have seen repeatedly. Isnt she rolling in it? Really, all that happens in the part Austen wrote was setting the story in motion by getting Charlotte to Sanditon and mentioning the coming of Miss Lambe the heiress, and introducing most of the characters. A week ago I didnt know it existed, I am thrilled youre doing it, cant wait to see your take on the new Emma. Found this blog while looking for information about Austen era music (other than the big names) and saw this blog. Our main protagonists and characters are assembled, beautifully dressed and ready to party, except for Georgiana, who confronts Sidney. With time and a little more character development she would come to understand it better. Have Edward and Esther got it on any further? At any rate, if youre going to touch our beloved Jane Austens work, PLEASE give it the respect it deserves and end it like Jane would. I LOVE Sanditon. Click here to enter the page. Here is a look at the official description of each episode from Sanditon according to the official website of the PBS with its airing date and time. Ive never waited to put myself in someone elses power before.. Just let it drift over the horizon, and be done with it. In some instances, links will be removed from comments as well. As to Sydney, what a waste of an opportunity to create a kind of Tilney/Darcy hybrid that was gently suggested by his enticingly brief entrance in the novel. He's kind. Davies and his team have an obligation to viewers to end this mini-series without a cliff hanger. Read the full article in The Sunday Times. This denouement is occurring too soon! Although a happy ending is not necessary, there are several loose ends. People so far, especially his own family are still fooled and taken with what they are incorrectly perceiving as brilliance, which is yet to be revealed as the impractical musings of a dreamer. My, oh, my! So the series is highly inconsistent and that goes with having different writers. He is a Harlequin Romance hero a pulp fiction depiction, and a mere shadow, of Janes best male portrayals. Hes so dreamy. Ill imagine your ending instead! Esther feigns boredom, but Lord Babb urges the horses on. Even Willoughby, selfish rake that he is, gives us charm and wit before his fall from the proverbial pedestal. I like this take on it. I had to suffer through six episodes before I wanted to know how it ended. How can you not! It's revealed in the season 2 premiere that Sidney Parker died from yellow fever on a trip to Antigua after the events of the first season finale. I just love all the love, loathing, apoplexic outbursts and all that high blood pressure and, so on and so forth, expressed about this series. But especially I dislike happy endings unless I am made to believe in them. Vic dislikes a few things I liked very much or doesnt mention them. Lady D is called away, before he can formulate an answer. It really was that bad. Also bad work for leaving some characters storylines hanging (Miss Lambe, for instance; what happens to her?). I plan to follow up this mini-series with this book. Stringer would not have been invited to the ball, and even if he were, it was not true to his character that he would go. sat on his steed in regret as he watched his Marianne marry Colonel Brandon. Still. Do read Austens original manuscript. The arrival of Miss Lambe's forbidden love causes Charlotte to question her opinion of Sidney. Here's everything you know about plot, cast, director, filming location and more! This is one DVD I will not buy. Vic, a few descriptive words and statements and phrases such as: brash, exuberant, rough round the edges, a good laugh, I fell about in stitches at some of the dialogue, I enjoyed it. i find the end of episode 8 to be unfulfilling, to say the least, maddening and a tease, at best. Sorry about the duplication my computer is acting up. Ive sworn, after each episode, of this Davies debacle that I wouldnt watch another one, but like the proverbial train wreck, I DVRd it and next day tuned right in: However, this time I read your review first, got a great laugh and finally enjoyed an episode without actually having to watch it! We will never know for certain how Jane Austen would have developed the character of Sanditon 's Miss Lambe, who nonetheless attracts critical attention as Austen's only character of color. Charlotte writes a letter to her sister saying that its been weeks since Sidney left in an attempt to save Sanditonand so the plot goes on. I had hopes for this one, but then the news came out of Great Britain last fall and my hopes were dashed. The writers need to write a satisfactory ending. Why, why would you do that to your audience? I am of the belief that tall, dark and dashing jolly well ought to come with good manners even when he hasnt fallen in love with the girl. With Charlottes friendship with Susan I can see the prince regent investing in Sanditon, thus its prosperity, negating the necessity of Sidney sacrificing love. His character should have and could have become so much better! If he had learned anything he wouldnt have sacrificed love to save his brother who was not made to be a businessman (Tom also kept reminding me of P.T. Charlotte and Sidney soldier on, exchanging polite conversation. However, she's not alone. Let's watch the announcement of the series Sanditon Season 2 Episode 5. Part of their misunderstandings revolve around Miss Georgiana Lambe (Crystal Clarke), the 17-year-old mixed-race heiress from the West Indies who just happens to also be Sidney's ward. Miss Lambe makes only two appearances. We discovered she had a secret love called Otis who was a good man but flawed because. The camera pans to Sanditon House. He leaves his friend as soon as he sees Lady D and Esther enter the ball room, fashionably late as great ladies were wont to do. Davies and his writing team were writing against deadline, or so the story goes in the The World of Sanditon companion book. It would make him feel real. Will Mrs. Campion conveniently kick the bucket or will Charlotte warm up to poor James Stringer? It is a truth universally acknowledged that a tertiary character left alone with a lighted candle must inevitably burn down the building. Is Theo James, the actor, though he tried his best, but hes no Mr. Darcy that way because of his acting chops or because of the script (Davies)? Changing alongside it is the impulsive and unconventional Charlotte Heywood, who swaps her quiet rural . Also, Charlotte was 22, and she never seems quite that age in this series. Hes a talented, hard-working earnest character, but I understand how these novels work. I completely agree that there should have been more Tilney in Sidney. The couple meanders along the Downs, lost in tender emotions and lust. Willoughby is said to be a man resembling the hero of a favourite story', just as Sidney is handsome and sexy. Understandably, Miss Heywood remains haunted by the final words Sidney spoke to her, which Sanditon echoes to the audience by using . I suppose the wedding will be episode one of season three followed by Sydney getting killed in a carriage accident the next day. Its wrenching to see a story end in the middle. With so many flaws in characters and situations, his ability to mimic Austen is strictly in his swollen ego. It turns out, he has saved them allexcept for he, himself and Charlotte. WellI had problems with the Sidney/Charlotte relationship, anyway. So disappointingonly one minor storyline wrapped up (Esthers). I believe we all saw what Sydney was forced to rescue her from. Heartstrings tug. But I contradict myself when I add that Sidney is sadly unique as portrayed by Davies. Good news, bad news: the hero returns to save the day but sacrifices his lovely damsel and his own happiness. We now have a Romeo and Juliet moment in reverse, with Sidney looking down at Charlotte on the ballroom floor. Jen, I have often wondered if Jane saw Charlottes fate similar to hersas an independent spinster, courted by men, but with no desire to marry. I suffered through 8 episodes so I could watch Sidney throw Charlotte over for that pretentious twit of a widow? Case in point, Miss Jane Austen herself. I was left speechless after the conclusion, with one question running through my head: What did I just watch? I agree that the Sidney character as written by the Davies team comes nowhere near Austens heroes, because, as you say, he is written with a lack of wit. :-) I just dont like having to guess thats where this was leading. I didnt like the trajectory of her story line and expected her part in the drama to be more complex and for her to be given a strong story arc that demonstrated growth and stamina. Willoughby was not worthy of her. Thank you for your comment! The character Miss Lambe, a West Indian heiress, is "a real effort to represent someone in a very difficult situation at the time," said Crystal Clarke, right in "Sanditon." Credit . Gosh, gee, golly, Polly, thank you for the compliment. PBS fans saved the canceled adaptation of Jane Austen's final unfinished novel. Her complexion glows. Once again, the scenery of the Downs is sublime. Premieres Sundays . Esther laughs joyously and for the first time viewers watch her blossom into a fun-loving young woman whose worries disappear with a man who loves her more than she loves him. My little Applause comment above was meant to go with Pollys comment, but no matter. What about borrowing all or part of the money from Georgianna? I never warmed up to him. This Sanditon pirate/director used the Jane Austen platform (or should I say plank) to walk these characters off the edge into Davy Jones locker. I hope to review Emma as soon as it comes to my region! I too watched last night and thought, Thats it?! Help! And personally, I was rooting for Charlotte to chose James Stringer, and thought after Sulky Sid threw her over that she would. And as written it seems Charlotte may after all marry Mr Stringer as Esther has married Babington and maybe Sidney will marry Eliza all pragmatic. She is just there because they paid this actress. The scene segues to Georgianas bedroom. Miss Lambe's story is totally unresolved. Lord Babb talks to Sidney as they eye the dancers. I also was pleased that Esther seems to have found some sort of happiness. Eight episodes of a mini-series deserve a thorough discussion of the finale. All care toward making things accurate to the period was forfeited, and Charlotte, this common-folk visitor girl was allowed in every conversation and situation. But what happens after the Jane Austen plot runs out? We then see her saying goodbye to the Palmer family and leaving Sanditon in a lovely carriage pulled by four magnificent horses. The only storyline that gave me any satisfaction was the marriage of Lord Babbington and Esther. You arent (gag) in love with him!? In that day and age a woman of means lost all her wealth if she was wed to an unscrupulous man. Miss Lambe, for example. I always preferred Stringer for Charlotte. Please believe me there was no other way to resolve Toms situation. I love this, Maureen: I am seeing a transformative experience for Sydney Parker in Sanditon. I would love to see a second series, there is a lot to work with here from a writers perspective. Meanwhile thanks for the summaries and time to dissect this series. If that had not happened would Lady D have even had a reason to survive to the next episode? It was a nice change for the evil scheming woman to get a genuine redemption. There were some happy endings but really they were not necessarily the norm. Perhaps, it was a nod to Austens real life where her status and rank in society did not offer her a good marriage in the end. Hurray for the REAL men after all the boring buffoons in fancy dress! She chose wisely. However,. Ugh, when it ended I was left staring at the tv searching for the TV guide. For me, the perfect ending for her would have been to remain single and independent by choice. Maybe thats why Davies had Sydney emerge from the beach a la natural as he did a throwback to his P&P production. Who could ever be so handsome and sexy! Tensions surrounding Miss Lambe's arrival in Sanditon erupt at Lady Denham's grand pineapple luncheon. You know its strange, I have not yet been able to let Sanditon go. Songbird: I thought Jamess acting was fine. I felt like the endings of the story line were hurriedly done. Thank you for listening to my rant. At Denham House, Clara witnesses a scene that raises her suspicions. What exactly he was doing abroad is a mystery to his family, though they're determined to find out. Sanditon Season 3 opens with Charlotte Heywood returning to Sanditon for her best friend Georgiana Lambe's (Crystal Clarke) 21st birthday. And I actually found him more interesting this season . They really botched this one with no real ending. 1903. Just a couple of comments for the moment. Love your analysis that wine must have been good. Thank you for visiting this blog. I agree that just 1 more episode not an entire second series would suffice to wrap up the loose ends. One good result that came from Davies productionIve ordered a copy of Sanditon and will read Austens original, albeit incomplete, text. She is from Antigua, and her father, before passing, left Mr Sidney Parker to be her legal guardian. It was a real missed opportunity there and the writers did a poor job with her. It would have made a perfect, mutually beneficial marriage of convenience if they had married. My sense is that cost and ratings will both play a huge part in the decision. Does she just resent being forced to go where he makes her? How could Tom have allowed it given his own feelings about love? Even if Sidney had said, I must do this for us the ultimate sacrifice, at least it would have shown that the family was aware and cared about what it would mean for him. In their scene together he says all the words that a hero would say at the VERY END of a romance, but we are only halfway into the story! What did I just invest my time in? Still liked it, but feel it needs a good solid ending at the least. Its the same feeling I had when Lady Edith married her Bertie in Downton Abbey, making her a marchioness. Absolutely agree, particularly about the ridiculousness of the Parkers not objecting to Sidney sacrificing himself. She also was, at 22, facing spinsterhood. But Im commenting because I wanted to say thank you for the excellent blog posts along the way; I enjoyed them more than the series! Ugh. Does anyone recall a scene from Becoming Jane where she turns to her sister, Cassandra, and mentions that she will give all her heroines a happy ending in her honor (paraphrase). Once I let myself go in terms of recapping the Sanditon episodes, I had fun making sport with the more improbable situations. Excellent reading! I think Andrew Davies must have had his mind on an entirely different novel. In Austens Sanditon fragment is wasnt clear that Charlotte was supposed to be the heroine. For me , it started with episode 7, when everything began to feel contrived. Shes not half the woman you areif he doesnt see that he doesnt deserve you.. That would have mentally prepared me for the drama and lack of era-appropriate dialogue and situations. THATS IT?! Are you still proclaiming your independence? I hated the ending! Miss Lambe gave him a conspiratorial smile. Agree, let it die! Then comes the piece de resistance in romance dialoguesIf Ive changed at all it is in no small part down to you. Charlotte needs a typical Austen ending! It is so rich in possibilities. For the first time in many episodes, Miss Lambe is dressed in a lovely gown. They exchange smoldering looks. I find the Outlander series vastly superior: why? The worker men would nit have been allowed in the gentlemans rowing contest. All your thoughts about the series make sense. Preparing a series 1 with only the *hopes* of there being money available to pay for a season 2 is much like the Parkers building a seaside town without any insurance or visitors. Sidney and Tom would not have included have listened to, not included her in their financial discussions, she wouldnt have been able to visit Stringers home (many times!) He didnt go quite as far in some character resolution within the 8 episodes, as I may have liked, especially in regard to silly and irresponsible Tom Parker. Overall, Im somewhat indignant that this series is labelled as having anything to do with Jane Austen. Season 1. Emmy and Bafta-winning writer Andrew Davies brings Jane Austen's unfinished last novel vividly to life. Arthur hints he is homosexual to his sister so will not marry Miss Lambe and his sister will now not be lonely. If you thought that ending would make viewers happy, you deserve a smack in the head from Jane Austen. Arthur would have been kind and he has money. Miss Lambe is described in Sanditon the novel as 'half mulatto,' and a wealthy heiress who may be sickly. Sanditon is back for season 2! In your comments you write independentcourted by men which is fully understood by women of the 21st Century. Tensions surround Miss Lambe's arrival in Sanditon. Warning: SPOILERS for Sanditon Season 2, Episode 4. Topics include Regency fashion, historic foods, Jane Austen societies, British sites, related topics. Worse, how could he face his Mary? Once I realised that, I sat back and enjoyed it, though, as someone else said, the comments here were far more entertaining. (sigh, hopeful,) I spend way too much time trying to figure things out, much of that having to do my own healing and restructuring my own understanding of events so that I can facilitate a new vision for myself to move forward. Help! If Jane could have seen this pathetic ending she would have hired a hit man to take out Andrew Davies. Although I dont think it would be our sort of thing.. I even have a Madame Alexander Pride & Prejudice doll. mp_sf_list_2_description: What to Know: Bohemian artist Charles Lockhart made quite a splash in Season 2 and seemed the only man uninterested in Miss Lambe's fortune. I liked the series but loved the last two episodes. Georgiana Lambe's (Crystal Clarke) sugar boycott in Sanditon season 2 is based on a real event that happened in the 19th century. Peoples ire has been stoked up and strong feelings abound. Chapman first published a full transcription of the novel in 1925 under the name Fragment of a Novel. Good thing Jane isnt alive to see this or shed hire a hit man to take Davies out! I love all the different plot scenarios people are sending in for Season 2. No, it was him. Write the powers that be. I was as heartbroken as anyone and frankly am still grieving (I had PBS Passport and watched it all a few weeks ago) but I really enjoyed it. Bleh. Maybe she will meet a man more worthy than Sidney and less penitent than James in Willingdon. He never warmed up. Recap the previous and following episodes.. Sanditon is an eccentric place: even the priest is odd and a bit off-putting. The opening sequence reveals that Sidney has died of yellow fever while in Antigua. Did anyone else not really see the Sidney/Charlotte connection? I am sure something happens and Sidney becomes free to be with Charlotte. "Do we have a rebel in our midst, Captain Fraser?". You and the wine deserve an award for suffering through it and then doing such a great job evaluating and of course, not giving away the ending. J.
