BBC's The Café

I just finished a show on Brit Box called The Café. It's about a cafe in Weston-super-Mare run by generational trio Mary, Carol and Sarah.

While I love this show, it sucks that they only made two seasons of it. They left it completely unfinished with so many open storylines.

I think you'll like it to be honest. In my opinion they didn't end it well, but I'm stingy when it comes to endings because I want to keep watching it and don't want it to end. It just means it's time to start writing fan fic again. LOL

The building that they used for the cafe was actually built on site and then taken down afterwards. The ocean views around it are beautiful. What I wouldn't give to work there and be able to look up and dream out the windows.

Keeping up Apperances

 I am a huge fan of British comedies. American comedies not so much, but the British one's make me laugh hysterically.  One of the show's is Keeping up Appearances. This is a show that I never get tired of watching because it's literally hilarious! 

The show is about a lower middle class woman named Hyacinth Bucket {Patricia Routledge}, aka Bouquet, who considers herself to be upper class. Her poor husband Richard {Clive Swift} once worked for the council, but was forced to retire and was stuck home with her much to his dismay.

The show is all about her trying to climb the social ladder while hiding the fact that she has two poor sisters who live in council housing. She has three sisters, two Rose {Shirley Stelfox/Mary Millar} and Daisy {Judy Cornwell} who are lower class and one is rich, Violet, who married a turf accountant and has a Mercedes and large house with room for a pony. 

She also has neighbors Elizabeth {Josephine Tewson} and Emmett {David Griffin} as well as other people in her neighborhood who she interacts with on the show. They all see right through her charade, but simply smile and nod at her then talk snootily behind her back. 

Filming Locations Coventry & Northhampton

The exterior shots of Hyacinth's and Richard's house were done at a home in the village of Binley Woods, while the exterior shots of Daisy's house were taken in the Stoke Aldermoor district. 

The church scenes were done at the Christ Church on Christchurch Road, Northampton.
