June shows on PBS

11 years ago

I am looking forward to 4 new shows on PBS. On June 21 these three will air in our area: The Crimson Field, Poldark, Last Tango in Halifax. On June 24th, look for First Peoples. Summer TV can be so barren, and these shows certainly perk it up for me. Thank goodness my sister sent me an alert, which I am sharing with you.

Thanks! Do you know this is the third season of Last Tango in Halifax? I really like this show.

WTTW in Chicago is well into what DH calls its interminable beg-a-thon. We won't get any good programming until that's over. He and I just watched the last three episodes of Foyle's War on a DVD from our library. That's now kaput, over, not renewed by the Brits who made the series -- despite huge audiences for the show in the UK and the US.

gyr_falcon - not sure if that's a spiral staircase, or something re-purposed as a sculpture. The woman who owns the house is very creative and has a lovely garden with some eclectic items, such as the blue bike!

Igmd - Dawn's is Claytonia perfoliata.. The one you are probably thinking of is Portulaca oleracea the succulent resembling the Moss Rose also known as purslane. Plants are known by various common names in different parts of the country, hence the need to have the correct botanical or Latin name for ID as that is universal.

Our lilacs were in full bloom back in March. Interesting how much difference there is in the climates from one place to another, but the lilacs are beautiful no matter where they are blooming.

Stacy, your pictures reminded me of my school days. I attended a two-room country school. Many of those small rural schools are gone now and have been replaced by larger amalgamated schools. Still remember the good times we had when we played baseball on Friday afternoons with neighbouring country schools. Always looked forward even tho the transportation to the neighbouring school would horrify people these days.lol!! On an open back of a truck.

Thanks for the reminder. I just set my DVR to record Poldark. I remember watching the original series years ago, and I loved it.

Yes, it's a remake. And Robin Ellis, who was the original Poldark, has a role in it. I think he plays the minister. The remake was a huge hit in England.

Here is a story about the original Poldark, Robin Ellis:

I think I might try Poldark. I tried to find Call the Midwife on Amazon Prime the other night as I never saw any of the first seasons, and where it used to be "free", now it is not. Hmnnn.

And thank you so much, sheilajoyce, for the update. I just looked at my PBS' station calendar and put these shows on my calendar to watch. I also noted that on Sunday, June 21st, they are starting to show only a few episodes of "Tales From the Royal Wardrobe," which sounds as if it will be very good.
