I think part of that is due to the editing that PBS does. When I watch the show on Britbox, each episode is about 58 minutes long because nothing is edited out. I’m not sure how long the eps on PBS are, but they’re considerably shorter than 58 minutes.

I make something very similar, but I didn’t know it had a name - I just made it up out of my own head 😄

Wikipedia to the rescue! “The term swede (from "Swedish turnip") is used in many Commonwealth Nations, including much of the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. The name turnip is also used in parts of Northern and Midland England, the West Country (particularly Cornwall), Ireland, the Isle of Man, and Canada. In Wales, according to region, it is variously known as meipen, rwden, or erfinen in Welsh, and as swede or turnip in English. In Scotland, it is known as turnip, tumshie (also used as a pejorative term for a foolish or stupid person), or neep (from Old English næp, Latin napus). Some areas of south-east Scotland, such as Berwickshire and Roxburghshire, still use the term baigie, possibly a derivative of the Swedish dialectal word rotabagge. The term turnip is also used for the white turnip (Brassica rapa ssp rapa).”

Yes, he said something like he “didn’t know what a hundredweight of turnips looked like” (which I find hard to believe because Fred’s the kind of guy who *would* know that kind of thing), and the delivery driver said, “Well, that’s what it looks like!”

Thanks to @Badger for posting the deleted scenes. PBS deletes so much that the episodes always feel disjointed to me. Anyone else?

What happened behind the scenes - is there gossip? 👀

I’m rewatching *again* since I finally watched Inspector Morse, and I wanted to see any Easter eggs - in the first couple of episodes there are several, but I think they diminish as the series comes into its own. Laurence Fox is an ass but Hathaway is so good.

Ella Bruccoleri also had a part in an episode of All Creatures Great and Small from last year IIRC. I’m watching Inspector Morse for the first time, and I’m up to the final season/series. In an ep that was released in 1997, Ben Caplan (Chummy’s Peter) has a couple of lines as a bartender. It was a very small part, but I recognized him right away.

I remember that episode, but not which season it was in. IIRC Trixie gave her heck for not wearing support stockings!

My mother’s older brother drowned in a lake in Ontario cottage country when he was 17 and she was younger than ten - this was back in the 1940s. When I was growing up, she was always so anxious when I was at the beach or a swimming pool. I remember when I was growing up, our neighbours had a swimming pool, and even if they invited me over to swim I couldn’t go unless my father or (8 yrs older than me) brother were with me. And the neighbours were a police officer and an ER nurse! But after I had my own children I completely understood why she was so anxious.

I only know about the lilo because I heard it on Coronation Street once and I had no clue what the eff a lilo was 😄 I have Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy to thank for teaching me about biros!

I couldn’t believe that the writers would actually have a character using the r-word (r*tard). I thought everyone knew how offensive that word is - it made me really angry 🤬

I’m doing a rewatch - first time I watched it was about five years ago - and I’m on s5 e2 and I see Arthur from Peaky Fucking Blinders! (I always call him Arfur 😄)

I’ve enjoyed the last two episodes much more than the Miss Harbottle ep. I had to laugh when Paul Copley turned up as a clinic customer - he’s one of those English actors who seems to be in every show! I’ve seen him in Downton Abbey and Coronation Street, and even recently when I was rewatching Cracker (a favourite from the 1990s), he appeared as a pathologist. I also chuckled at the end when they were having dinner - there was a little plate of pickled eggs at Helen’s place 😄

That was my thought, too 😄
