Especially when we won't get a new episode until January.

All I can tell you are the ones in my library system are the unedited episodes, so I assume yours would be too. Good luck finding a DVD player. Perhaps a friend has one? Or your library offers them for a small rental fee? My library system lends out a lot of things that are not traditional for a library. For example, I can get a bird watching kit with a pair of binoculars and a book on birds. My library also offers a free mending service, with volunteers from the Sewing Machine Project who will mend clothes while you wait. Libraries are our greatest resource! My local library is celebrating its sesquicentennial this year.

My public library has DVDs of each season with the uncut British version of the episodes. I request each season (they don't have this season yet) and then do a re-watch so I can get all the parts I've missed. The DVDs usually are available in late June. Does PBS edit other shows? I watch All Creatures Great & Small and I've never heard this complaint about those episodes.

I'm guessing he was scheduled to promote his book and he decided to use the book tour to announce his decision to accelerate the distribution of his Microsoft wealth through his foundation.

I re-watched the interview Ben Mankiewicz did with the incomparable Norman Lloyd in 2016. I have enjoyed this several times before but when I see it come up on the schedule, I find myself watching it again. I wish this had been a multi-part series since this brief conversation barely scratched the surface of his life.

I re-watched this scene and I think Sister Julienne was supposed to be surprised by this treatment of Joyce by this patient since she had heard nothing about it from either Joyce or Sister Catherine, but instead by her reaction and words, it seemed that she was astonished to realize that racial prejudice exists. It did not help that the script had her ask Joyce if that was something she had experienced before, which was a very naive question from a woman of mature years who has witnessed that type of behavior on many occasions, as the viewers have seen. I blame the writers and the director, although they probably got what they wanted from the scene, with Joyce saying she could laugh or she could cry at the question, but instead she would do what she always tries to do and respond with dignity, saying that racism is something she encounters everywhere and in everything. I think they wanted to get to that statement by Joyce and they took a very clunky path to reach it.

I agree that it was ridiculous that Sister Julienne was flabbergasted to realize that racial prejudice exists when it's been the story line of many previous episodes involving people coming to Poplar/the East End from the Caribbean, Africa, India, Pakistan, etc. As well, there have been multiple stories that have involved religious intolerance.

If he is acting as the agent gone rogue, why not tell McGee when it was clear he was suspicious? They don't have to give him the details, just tell him to back off, the powers that be are aware, national security, blah blah blah. There are ways to say this. I don't believe that is how locality pay works for feds, that it is increased if two employees are married to each other. Isn't locality pay based on the individual and their posting, so regardless of whether Torres and Knight are married to each other or anybody else, they get the same locality pay? There are financial benefits to being married (as well as disadvantages) but this is not one of them. Accidentally going through with an actual marriage while undercover must be the NCIS equivalent of getting drunk in Vegas and realizing you got married while in that condition.

I think it could start in the lead up to the Munich Agreement, "peace in our time," when they all thought war had been averted, only to be at war less than 12 months later. Through the blitz, the relief when the worst of it seemed over, only to then have V1 and V2 bombs, and then the post-war with the establishment of the National Health Service. I agree, it would be nice to see how Dr. Turner arrived, but I also want to see Sisters Julienne, Monica Joan, and Evangelina during that time. So many potential story lines - Mosley & British fascists, Jewish refugees, the evacuation of children, Churchill, invasion fears, rationing, delivering babies in bomb shelters, midwives going out in the middle of night to a delivery during the blackout, the introduction of the miracle drug penicillin, the arrival of American troops, etc. Where's my consultant fee? 🤣

We think alike! A few years ago, I said in one of these threads that once they decide to end CTM, they should do a prequel series of the Nonnatans in 1930s/1940s East End. I was wondering whether Jenny Agutter was dealing with some health issues or perhaps she wished to do less, and they said ok, we'll write one scene per episode with you sitting at your desk.

I think a lot of the men who do not unbutton are those who are self-conscious about weight around their middle and they think keeping their jacket buttoned is hiding it. But not so much when instead of paying attending to their conversation with Stephen, we're all hoping they don't injure Stephen when the button pops off. Just wear clothes that fit (both men and women) - that is better looking than being in really tight clothes or oversized clothes.

I saw one report that said his salary is $1.6 million. So a $100K fine is just over 6% of his salary. I wouldn't be very happy about losing 6% of my salary. It's not as if he'll be in line at the food bank, but it's enough to notice, especially if it's take all at once. For the Falcons organization, I agree their fine is chump change.

LOL - if I or any other fan had behaved as Halliburton's dad, we would have been arrested and the NBA would have banned us from all arenas.

I'm an unfeeling bitch, but I believe Angie's mother received a fitting funeral service. The only thing more appropriate would have been tossing the box into the dumpster behind the crematorium. It's too bad it took a bunch of alcohol for Angie to be able to dispose of her, but at least she finally seemed resolved to be better than her mother. Of course, Angie being Angie, she immediately walked into a volatile situation and got assaulted. I wondered where Franklin was as she walked around carrying this box of human remains. He knew the situation with Angie's mother, and as her sponsor, wouldn't he realize what a stressor that would be, how it could cause Angie to relapse?

$100K fine for the coach? I guess that's his son's birthday and Christmas gifts for the rest of his life 🤣 And this just might come up in future job interviews as potential employers do a cursory background check. In other words, Google him. I suppose the league provides contact information on all prospects to every team. It's probably something the entire coaching and scouting staffs have. If the GM or head coach calls a draftee to tell them they are being picked, the OC or DC might want to follow up with a call. As well, they need contact info as they try to do UDFA deals at the close of the draft. And administrative staff need the info to connect the draftee with the PR staff and the team travel people to arrange those details when they come for rookie camp. With just how much information the teams have, it's not surprising the NFL brought the hammer down on the Falcons and the coach, given the potential for bad things to happen.
