Tom is so foolhardy how much will Sidneys rich wife give him before she realizes its just going to waste. Its for Charlotte and (eyeing his ball attire), you look like one of THEM! How are your wedding preparations? she asks, her face immobile, as if injected by botox. You know its strange, I have not yet been able to let Sanditon go. 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. It was obvious well before the first episode finished that this series had nothing to do with Jane Austen. Are you kidding me! Mr. Davies has honored her in the Sanditon mini-series. Now, those are plot lines worth taking in. Songbird: I thought Jamess acting was fine. I find it odd that so much money was spent on costumes and a few lush sets and so little on the town of Sanditon. They are: Click on their names to enter their own blogs. He does not deserve being all right. Vic. They really botched this one with no real ending. Our main protagonists and characters are assembled, beautifully dressed and ready to party, except for Georgiana, who confronts Sidney. He is a Harlequin Romance hero a pulp fiction depiction, and a mere shadow, of Janes best male portrayals. The first in a painting class to demonstrate her rebelliousness, and the other in a scene with Sidney to show her contrition for bad behavior. Thanks, Maureen.

And Austen addict that I am, I actually read Sanditon years ago and always thought the premise was intriguing.The 11-chapter scrap of a novel is set in Sanditon, a seaside town being . Ive never waited to put myself in someone elses power before.. Thank you for visiting this blog. Anyway, Charlotte and young Stringer would be nice with their similar backgrounds etc, except for the fact that there is Syndey and he is going through something from what Charlotte is teaching him that could make for a dramati c and compelling love story. We agree on so many points. All that passion released in response would only be quieted. I had hopes for this one, but then the news came out of Great Britain last fall and my hopes were dashed. Peoples ire has been stoked up and strong feelings abound. So disappointed in the ending. Esther feigns boredom, but Lord Babb urges the horses on. Also, I kept wishing Charlotte would put on a hat. Wheres Mr knightly when u need him?? His attitude towards us is disrespectful. What can a second series do? And would-be adaptors of her stories today should either honor her intentions (clearly shown by her finished works, her letters, and oft-quoted let other pens dwell on guilt and misery) or just leave Jane out of it and write their own story. Eight episodes of a mini-series deserve a thorough discussion of the finale. Good mini series requires only good costuming and setting. Beyond their commonality with physical matters, they are a strange pair of individuals with no love interests. Miss Georgiana Lambe (played by Crystal Clarke) is a wealthy heiress from the West Indies who is most certainly not afraid to speak her mind and make her opinions known. Just one more episode to wrap up some unsatisfying ends would be most welcome. But he is not attracted. Sidney, you may think that a woman is there for you to use for pleasure or money, to play games with or exploit. This denouement is occurring too soon! Charlotte was destined for Sidney Parker, so I reconciled myself to the pairing as an inevitabilityor so I thought. Then Charlotte drops a bombshell - "Sidney is a wonderful man. I watched Sanditon some time ago and did not think at the time that I would want to see a second season, but now I do, just to give Vic a fresh whetstone for her wit. Sidney rang the bell at the front door, which was opened by a silver-haired, smartly dressed butler, who led them through an immense marble hallway towards the palatial morning room. Here's the official season 2 synopsis: "The drama will continue to follow the high-spirited and independent heroine, Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams) as she returns to the picturesque coastal. Its dramaturgy reminded me of the new Poldark. Meanwhile, Tom fights to save Sanditon and his marriage, and Edward and Clara hatch a cunning plot to seize Lady Denham's legacy . Austen is rolling over in her grave. The ending by another lady is lovely. You arent (gag) in love with him!? In the eighth clip released, Miss Lambe (Crystal Clarke) receives a letter from her love Otis (Jyuddah Jaymes). So, for my part I rewatched Episode 8 for a third time through and the BBC version (which is not clipped) and I loved it. I agree that just 1 more episode not an entire second series would suffice to wrap up the loose ends. Read the full article in The Sunday Times. The horses increase their speed, their manes and tails flying in the wind. It really does feel that way and I am glad to read that so many other people were so sad about it too. It turns out, he has saved them allexcept for he, himself and Charlotte. I must confess my happiness when Lord Babb and his Esther marry. As for my feelings about the final episode: Boooo, Andrew Davies!! Miss Lambe ( Crystal Clarke) arrives in the seaside resort of Sanditon under the protection of Mrs Griffiths, a middle-aged white woman whose other "charges" include the English Miss. 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. Will Sidney give himself a talking to? Premieres Sundays . The Parkers combined resources cannot cover the disastrous cost of 80,000, or 6,323,574.23 in todays money. I agree. It was released on 17th April 2022 by PBS. Miss Lamb? They were trying to tie everything up at the last minute. Thank you so much for your sterling Sanditon reviews And especially for this final one! I suppose the wedding will be episode one of season three followed by Sydney getting killed in a carriage accident the next day. So glad to read this this morning! :-). The writers gave her a talent in organizing events. There is no way a trademan, however talented, would have been invited to a ball in that company. Thank YOU for allowing all of us to vent and share in our love of Jane. Hes a talented, hard-working earnest character, but I understand how these novels work. We absolutely enjoyed Sanditon and can hardly wait for the next season. We need closure! Despicable ending did I really suffer 8 episodes so he could dump her for that pretentious twit of a widow? Regency manners require her to accept this invitation or bow out from dancing for the rest of the evening. You might so I do so long for joy that meretricious versions depress me. One thing is for sure, fan fiction will give Charlotte the ending she deserves or that makes Austen sense. Idiot. I dont think there should be another season.Just leave it ,ragged, and unfinished. Have Edward and Esther got it on any further? No. Dont give yourself airs, says Lady D, You havent got my money yet! And I actually found him more interesting this season . Not sure what fate Sidney deserves. Wouldnt it be splendid if, through her efforts with Tom Parker, Sanditon became a successful seaside resort? So there you are,Vic.It appeals to my subversive nature. Lets look ahead to Autumn de Wildes Emma, rather frowned upon by the Wall Street Journals Joe Morgenstern. The only storyline that gave me any satisfaction was the marriage of Lord Babbington and Esther. Read the review of the book at this link. Cant live with it. Looked dinky, cheap, fake, loaded with CGI and not up to the standards of the other exterior locations. With Charlottes friendship with Susan I can see the prince regent investing in Sanditon, thus its prosperity, negating the necessity of Sidney sacrificing love. I found it odd that with all the Parkers money troubles no one thought, even for a minute, of Miss Lambes 100,000, considering that she was under Sidneys control. Changing alongside it is the impulsive and unconventional Charlotte Heywood, who swaps her quiet rural . I absolutely LOVED Sanditon and it rivals Persuasion as my favorite work of Jane Austen. I did warn you a few weeks ago that the last episode had a Big Surprise. Recall that he trotted out Otis to say goodbye to you. I dont really understand all the outrage. Violins violin. 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. Well Miss Heywood? You may think yourself the savior of Sanditon, but you have done so at the price of your character.. The show kept trying to depict Tom learning from his mistakes and starting over better, but ultimately I dont think he changed at all! Literally finished watching season one and instantly hunted down the petition to beg for season 2. Sir, I shout at the screen, You are no gentleman!, Charlotte meekly steps inside the carriage and Sidney watches until it disappears over the horizon. For me, the perfect ending for her would have been to remain single and independent by choice. Even Willoughby, selfish rake that he is, gives us charm and wit before his fall from the proverbial pedestal. As to the ending, i wouldnt have minded if she didnt end up with Sidney. The arrival of Miss Lambe's forbidden love causes Charlotte to question her opinion of Sidney. (There are 33 walks in P + P!). So now Charlotte has lost both Sidney and James. Then Sidney is way laid by Tom. The worst part was the rushed changes in the last two episodes. I go over it again and again and again and have awakened many times with new scenarios for the second season. Very disappointing. Did anyone else not really see the Sidney/Charlotte connection? I have adored Jane Austen almost all of my life. At the beginning of the finale, there appears to be a clear path to happiness for our heroine as a marriage proposal from Sidney (Theo James) to Charlotte (Rose Williams) seems imminent. Once again, the scenery of the Downs is sublime. Maybe thats why Davies had Sydney emerge from the beach a la natural as he did a throwback to his P&P production. Andrew Davies was bragging on the PBS show about his reading so much Austen that it is with ease that he writes Austen (my paraphrase). 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. Im royally Pi-d! I agree. I aspire to perfectioning my tongue in cheek reviews! "Now that is quite the accusation to level against an officer of the British empire, Miss Lambe," he replied with just enough of an angle to his smile to confirm that his loyalty was far from unshakeable. Cant live without it. For some reason, the elder Stringer, instead of attending the ball, works late by candlelight on a stepladder to complete the Crescent all by his lonesome. At the end of my, er, analysis, well finish with a poll to measure our collective satisfaction quotient. Perhaps another visit to Sanditon would awaken tender feelings for Mr. Stringer? 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. I wish Sanditon had been marketed to us as a mini soap opera version of a Jane Austen classic romance rather than a continuation of an unfinished novel. Die-hard Jane Austen fan, always go out of my way to watch any and every film/tv adaptation humanity makes of her work. At this point Ive eaten all my crackers and cheese, texted my Janeite friends with my observances, and poured another glass of an outstanding 94-point Fox in the Hen House wine. All wrapped up, tidy, and happy! My guess is that a number of fan fiction sequels will be written to give Charlotte the ending she deserves. Go over and play the piano. Georgiana was kidnapped and was very nearly trafficked outside of the country's borders, so that her kidnapper could marry her and use her fortune for his own means. Scant resources existed in the early 19th century to fight fires in buildings made largely of wood, and the structure is swiftly destroyed. Charlotte should end up with Stringer. In fact, she anticipates a happy future with her Lord, who unleashed emotions in her and feelings of pleasure that Sir Ed would never have liberated. This is not how Jane would have ended things. End of discussion. The scene segues to Georgianas bedroom. The last episode of Sanditon saw that Sidney and Charlotte finally confess their love for each other. Miss Lambe gave him a conspiratorial smile. I never was on Team Sidney, who displayed his jerk side way too often. He is not, as far as we know, a seducer. This is not an ending, this is not Jane, this is STUPID! Or is it that none of our young men have taken your fancy? She turns to Sidney: What do you say, Mr. Parker?. There are so many other directions they couldve gone. 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. If that had not happened would Lady D have even had a reason to survive to the next episode? Willoughby is said to be a man resembling the hero of a favourite story', just as Sidney is handsome and sexy. My, oh, my! Technology! Season 1. Like throwing into the story Lady Susan! Their happy ending would have made us feel complete! Description. 1903. I never warmed up to him. This is NOT Jane Austen! However, we do accept and keep books and CDs to review. 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. Ive just finished reading Sanditon by Jane Austen and Another Lady, in which Miss Lambe is a nonentity (disappointing), but this story starts off by bringing Georgiana to the viewers notice and then then huh? Tom Parker is happy. Charlotte and Sidney clash over Miss Lambe's love life, and Charlotte strikes up a new friendship. This was a normal TV soapie series, and that is why of course it couldnt end, but only leave you wondering what will happen next time. Hah! And she enjoyed her independence. Im dissatisfied As you said this is what I invested my time in? Still quite a good series but not within Janes vision. They could all go off to the Continent in time for Waterloo Im sure Mr Davies would have much more fun ripping off Thackeray than Austen. I dont want more I want a redo. I can take one episode, like a special, but not another season. Across the ball room, Charlotte and Sidney exchange glances of frustration, but she cant refuse Stringer, for she was not engaged to dance with another gentleman. Vic Sanborn, founder of this blog, is supported by a team of talented and knowledgeable writers about Jane Austen and the Regency era. Vic dislikes a few things I liked very much or doesnt mention them. Arthur interrupts to ask Miss Lambe to dance. No, noplease not another season. I had to suffer through six episodes before I wanted to know how it ended. I love rich, huggy-bear types who adore their headstrong women. ), Personally, I will stick to the Sanditon ending as written by Another Lady. Its not perfectly Austen either, but it is a good deal better than this! (Gasp!) It really was that bad. It is a truth universally acknowledged that a tertiary character left alone with a lighted candle must inevitably burn down the building. Charlotte is stunned, however. If Jane could have seen this pathetic ending she would have hired a hit man to take out Andrew Davies. James Stringer takes this moment to ask Charlotte for a dance. And poor Charlotte. Case in point, Miss Jane Austen herself. they will sometimesspend (really) 10 minutes on a interlude; they give time to dialogues to develop and we get real thought from the characters. Miss Lambe gasped. Ultimately, on the other hand, the decision to . Miss Lambe will be the guest of honour wherever she goes. The music climaxes in volume. This is fantastic, Pensnestand couldnt agree more about Charlotte putting on her bonnet! We dont differ as much as it may seem. Wed have to watch it, and it wouldnt be any better than this season, which was quite painful. I like the combination of Sydney and Charlotte and as an interesting and unexpected love growing for him and for her, it is rather a shock for him because I think its something he has never experienced before- lets face it Mrs. Eliza Campion is simply incapable of making him feel and think like this and drawing out his real self.. It was a nice change for the evil scheming woman to get a genuine redemption. Seaside resorts were developed all along the English coast, but Sandiston seems a little close to Brighton to replace that resort. Love your analysis that wine must have been good. If Jane Austen had moments of regret they only motivated her to give her heroines the ending they deserved and we, her devoted readers continue to applaud! I mean, Darcy can jump into a pond if he wants to, but generally speaking the physicality of the 1995 Pride and Prejudice made a great deal of sense; this, from handjobs in the woods to rutting on the drawing room floor, is utterly ludicrous. Downton Abbey did such a great job of providing a completed story each season. She couldnt care less about cards. So Sidney will continue as the cynical man thwarted in love. What about borrowing all or part of the money from Georgianna? I also was really bothered that all the other Parkers let Sidney take all the weight of the financial burden. I got much too carried away and meant to but neglected to acknowledge Vic. Thats it? I cant believe it! Worse, how could he face his Mary? This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me and my team. In both I find excellent casting/acting, authentic to the period, and a true Austen interpretation. She also was, at 22, facing spinsterhood. Exactly. Hopefully, at some point, someone will take him to task and appoint a manager to rein him in. And for your lovely salutation. Davies and his writers failed on so many levels to pick up on Austens clues. The ball as far as I recall, it really was a ball and not one of the monthly Assembly Hall things that were common in many towns, and so I was very taken aback when Stringer appeared. A chorus echoes in my head with the refrain, Lady Campion, shes the champion, richest widow in the land., Before Sidney leaves, he visits Charlotte and holds her hand: When I return, well finally have a chance to finish our conversation. If you thought that ending would make viewers happy, you deserve a smack in the head from Jane Austen. My favorite part of this is Dont send him at all!!!!!!!!!!! I felt so betrayed by this final episode and turned right to you for commiseration. Shortly afterwards, a maid brought them coffee and they were joined by Lord Babington, a friendly-looking man in his mid-thirties. Click here to enter the page. Everything has changed. 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. Ill imagine your ending instead! In life this ending seems to me just what might happen.
