Janet Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 We debated whether it was maid or name too. I'll stick iPlayer on and see if I can work it out. ETA: Or maybe the ITV equivalent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelofboox Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I laughed for about 10 minutes after she asked Darcy for a favour and then he came out of the water drenched, in his white shirt. Curious to see what happens next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mia Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 We debated whether it was maid or name too. I'll stick iPlayer on and see if I can work it out. ETA: Or maybe the ITV equivalent! Any luck yet, Janet? I'm tending towards maid, as Darcy was going to marry her before she mentioned she'd lived with a man for nearly a year! (The idiot!) She should have realised how that would be viewed in that day and age... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 I listened again last night, but I'm not 100% sure. Like you, we decided it must have been 'maid' for the reason you pointed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergran71 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I am pretty sure it was "maid", in those days a maid was a virgin, so that is what he was saying - she wasn't a virgin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mia Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Yes, on listening again it was definitely "maid". A bit late I know, but here are my thoughts on the final episode! Well, a nice happy ending! It was a good twist, that Amanda ended up with Darcy, rather than Lizzie. I thought the ending was possibly a little rushed - Amanda was telling Lizzie to talk to Darcy, and the love would come, then next thing Amanda is with him! It was quite an interesting slant that Lizzie said she was born "out of her time" and actually preferred modern-day London, whereas modern girl Amanda longed for Austen's time and felt more comfortable there. I still would have liked to have seen more of Lizzie and Darcy coping in modern times. Also, a slight quibble about the ease with which Amanda made her decision to go and be with Darcy - doesn't she have family? She didn't consider them or her friends. And if I were her, I would have taken some modern practical things back with me! But then I would never have had the courage to go anyway. Do you think that the door between worlds would remain open, or would it be closed forever now things are how they're meant to be? It would be great if there was a second series.
