Anyone watch this show? It's called 'Clatterford' in the states. I watched it in the US when it first aired about a year or more ago. Being a fan of Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders, I couldn't pass it up. Then we moved and I forgot all about it. Until this month. I finally found the UK version 'Jam & Jerusalem' and have now been watching it again.I bring it up because this last episode they went for a ramble on the moors at Dartmoor! (The show is based on a village in Devon and centers on the womens guild.) So the ladies were out for their walk and the mist started to come in. They all sat down in a circle and talked while the mist took over and surrounded them. Finally, even though the mist was still thick and all around them they decided to move on. But when they stood up, all their heads popped out over the mist to a bright sunny day. It had only been a few feet in height. LOL.
In general, the show is not hilariously funny. Very subtle humor that you catch more and more as you watch and get to know the characters. As it is a womens guild, no doubt it will appeal more to women. But with the comic talents of Saunders, French, and even Joanna Lumley making appearances from time to time, I think it's good. Plus, what fun that they are located in Devon so you can get some Dartmoor shots from time to time.
