Sanditon will come to an end with its third and final season next month as the PBS fan-favorite series eyes its return date. This Sanditon pirate/director used the Jane Austen platform (or should I say plank) to walk these characters off the edge into Davy Jones locker. Please believe me there was no other way to resolve Toms situation. P&P versions: I love the movie with Matthew Macfayden and Kiera Knightley for its romance and how it captures the main characters dancing around each other with their own pride and prejudices until they drop the walls and they discover the real nature of each other. *Yeah, whatev,* I think. His stupidity and naivet are revealed when Sidney uncovers his true crimenot investing in insurance to save a few quid. Stringer would not have been invited to the ball, and even if he were, it was not true to his character that he would go. Once I let myself go in terms of recapping the Sanditon episodes, I had fun making sport with the more improbable situations. The current ending is too reminiscent of Mariannes situation with Willoughby in Sense and Sensibility. Sidney is the Willowby character from Sense and Sensibilities. Sanditon is MASTERPIECE's bold and lavish adaptation of Jane Austen 's final work. (Thanks, Robert Rodi for the title, which I borrowed from your book.). How is young speaks-as-she-finds Charlotte getting on in her new job doing the filing for Mr Tom Parker, entrepreneur of Sanditon? (Charlotte is a better character in the book.). Still liked it, but feel it needs a good solid ending at the least. 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. The scene segues to Georgianas bedroom. Not nearly so much fun I think. I agree with much that you wrote. Its the same feeling I had when Lady Edith married her Bertie in Downton Abbey, making her a marchioness. I love it when Story B makes it to the A list and emerges front and center. Once his engagement to Eliza is broken off he will travel to find Charlotte who will just one hour ago have gotten engaged to someone else. I agree. We all know the story is incomplete She ripostes, But much improved. Really, Charlotte, really? Its dramaturgy reminded me of the new Poldark. 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. In fact I wasnt sure if it was the end. I can hope that after all Charlotte marries Mr Stringer and like Esther learns to love her worthy kind consistent tender hard-working husband.

Her disdain for him is understandable as she is young and does not yet comprehend what she so narrowly escaped and anyone in her situation would resent being so far from home with no-one she can relate to and with the ever present reality of systemic racism and the real threat of slavery. :). Davies and his writing team were writing against deadline, or so the story goes in the The World of Sanditon companion book. I think they could have been very good friends. Idiot. My favorite part in the whole series: 1) when the workers stormed in to the cricket match, and some idiot gentleman said they look good. Yes, they did! Now I want to see Pride and Prejudice and Pirates. Turlough Convery as Arthur Denham in "Sanditon" (Red Planet/PBS) Someone else who is taken in by Lockhart is Arthur Parker (Turlough Convery). While disappointed overall in the show did enjoy your comments! This is the first time Ive been labeled as honored. Usually people give me less agreeable monickers, many of which cannot be printed in a family friendly blog. Lastly, we can't forget Miss Lambe, an heiress, who is also Austen's first African American character. Ill be back in a week.. Chapter Text. Miss Lambe is a prize well worth the winning. You cant give yourself to someone you dont love just because were the most foolish family on earth. Are they all really so selfish, unfeeling, and stupid in the end? There is no urgency to her dressmaking, she says. Yarrrr! Looked dinky, cheap, fake, loaded with CGI and not up to the standards of the other exterior locations. It will have to go some to beat the BBCs version with Romola Garai. I love all the different plot scenarios people are sending in for Season 2. I hated the ending! 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. And Sidney ( after being rude and aggressive) all of a sudden is overly polite when he tells Charlotte that he is best when he is around her. There are 2 good dvd versions of P&P, the BBC miniseries with Elizabeth Garvie and the 1995 BBC version with Jennifer Ehle. Miss Lambe will be the guest of honour wherever she goes. Fans of the show on PBS won't want to miss Sanditon by Kate Riordan. I think a better ending would have been for her to see Sidney as a mere flirtation and opt for James, but if she was destined to end up with Sidneythen DO it. His marriage to Lady C, if it occurs, will be unhappy and he will regret it and let Charlotte know. One thing I enjoyed very much indeed about the series was the development of Esther Denham from a straightforwardly unpleasant young woman to one who has been abused and misused into thinking herself worthless, and who is with great difficulty persuaded to accept love, and also the development of Babbington from a frippery young man determined to tame a recalcitrant filly into a tender, kind and sincere lover. My plea to the powers that be is to think of your audience and order up at least one more episode to tie up loose ends and provide Charlotte with the logical ending she deserves. Then they kiss. The night is dark and only candles light up the space when Old Stringer touches his chest, then his left arm. Read the review of the book at this link. I also was pleased that Esther seems to have found some sort of happiness. Like Downton Abbey it deserves more from these fine actors and actresses. I didnt like the trajectory of her story line and expected her part in the drama to be more complex and for her to be given a strong story arc that demonstrated growth and stamina. It would have made a perfect, mutually beneficial marriage of convenience if they had married. I LOVE Sanditon. Are you kidding me! Meanwhile thanks for the summaries and time to dissect this series. I hope to review Emma as soon as it comes to my region! Jane Austen would have never written such an ending. Miss Lambe gave him a conspiratorial smile. Feeling her lungs start to burn, Charlotte pressed down on her stopwatch, let out a long breath and opened her eyes. 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. Will Tom Parker ever stop being a fool? I loved loved loved this seriesbut I am mortified with the ending. Tom, who was riding high a few hours ago with visions of profits dancing in his head, is utterly destroyed financially. There are even more items that could be considered. Hello, my name is Vic and I live in Maryland, USA. 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. Tensions between Tom and his laborers erupt during the Sanditon cricket match. Where is the circulating library, which Austen mentions in her manuscript? With Charlottes friendship with Susan I can see the prince regent investing in Sanditon, thus its prosperity, negating the necessity of Sidney sacrificing love. The episode ends with Georgiana examining a locket with a portrait of a young Black man and kissing it before finishing a letter. Sanditon is MASTERPIECE's bold and lavish adaptation of Jane Austen 's final work. I mean, this is way better than most of the heaping garbage people put money into so why not make it happen? I have only just happened upon this excellent recap of the series I watched just a couple of weeks ago and found wanting in many respects. She chose wisely. We all see the right wayand even Lady Georgianawhy was she even in the plot if not to have her give money on the promise that she can marry her true love, too? Bleh. At least hes gutsy enough to tell her in person of his actions. If you market a series as Austen then you know in advance how it is supposed end. The horses gallop along a beautiful stretch of beach. Or is it that none of our young men have taken your fancy? She turns to Sidney: What do you say, Mr. Parker?. At the end of my, er, analysis, well finish with a poll to measure our collective satisfaction quotient. After a tearful cliffside goodbye, they both left town for good? Just let it drift over the horizon, and be done with it. I do hope they come back for a second season. I wouldnt mind if the series ended there its more probable. The viewer is immediately transported to the same intersection of the Sanditon set that they have seen repeatedly. In another scene, Tom grovels in front of Mary and she, milquetoast, er, loving wife, that she is, forgives him. Before we rush to the comment section to share our opinions, lets analyze the final show. Frightfully decent of them. We viewers KNOW this maiden has won the final rose from her very eligible bachelor and that all is right in Austenland. At Denham House, Clara witnesses a scene that raises her suspicions. Esther feigns boredom, but Lord Babb urges the horses on. Therefore, no Season and, certainly, no final show. Her complexion glows. Thanks, Maureen. One reason why I love the comments so much is that I gain so much from others perspectives, what people like and what turns them off. Esther and Edward realize that Clara poses a significant threat to their ambitions. These are not characters Jane would have written. Sanditon has been some kind of a revelation for me, I havent figured it all out yet. Georgiana Lambe's (Crystal Clarke) sugar boycott in Sanditon season 2 is based on a real event that happened in the 19th century. Many lives were tragically interfered with because of the rigid class system. Its been a pleasure reading your thoughts, pro, con, or indifferent. Hated the ending but also dont want to plod through another season of this trash! She is taken to Sanditon by Mrs Griffiths, along with the two Beaufort sisters. I agree. Or someone else will have to do it. OF THE COACHING AGE, VOL. II, By CHARLES G. HARPER. Meanwhile, Clara witnesses a private moment between Esther . I quite agree with you Dcupton poor Mr Davies is deluding himself. I voted one more show to wrap it up, though it was easy enough on the eyes that Id dare to watch a second season. J. We had no idea that they were friends, then he appears in her bedroom while she is in her nightgown??? Cant live with it. It just felt last-minute & sloppy. Informed minds want to know. 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. Then comes the piece de resistance in romance dialoguesIf Ive changed at all it is in no small part down to you. So disappointingonly one minor storyline wrapped up (Esthers). I reach for more wine and learn to my surprise that one can gulp 3 ounces in one fell swoop. One or two episodes would be nice. 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. This! Jane Austen smacking Davies about the headnow that would be worth watching! ), 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! I have loved reading your perspectives. This leaves Charlotte heartbroken and she decides to leave the town of Sanditon and Sidney behind. THATS IT?! Also, Charlotte needs to go back to not being afraid of speaking her mind and maybe spend like any time with some of the ladies she made friends with in Sanditon. Really!!?? You and the wine deserve an award for suffering through it and then doing such a great job evaluating and of course, not giving away the ending. Thank you, Mr. Stringer. Charlotte obviously has no desire to flirt with James or embark on a relationship with him. I am thinking of Persuasion now, and though this is a reverse situation, where the man chooses to marry for money (for whatever reason) instead of for the love of his life there arises an opportunity for a do over. That is a plausible ending if there is another episode for Sanditon. Then Charlotte drops a bombshell - "Sidney is a wonderful man. Sidney was most amiable by the end of episode 7 and in the finale he left me not wanting to invest any more time and energy in him and his relationship with Charlotte. The sumptuous Jane Austen adaptation will bow out with its third and final series, but what's in store for Charlotte Heywood, Georgiana Lambe and the town's other residents? It really was that bad. And poor Charlotte. Despicable ending did I really suffer 8 episodes so he could dump her for that pretentious twit of a widow?

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. I expect the second season (if there is one) will spotlight Young Springer as the worthy love she deserves, a man who seeks success through work, study, and architectural vision rather than financial flimflam like Sidney Parkers brother.
