Haven't seen a preview for that one yet, but I'll keep an eye out for it. Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up. We really enjoyed Home Fires, set in WWII England.

I didn't know it was cancelled!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. )-: I have a very low tolerance for lack of closure once I'm into a series.

My understanding is that it was cancelled because it did not attract the "right" age group of viewers.

I love the Inspector shows and Endeavor! Is it back with a new season? I didn't know!

Watching reruns of Inspector Lewis at any odd hour I find it and same for Endeavor. I'm in central NJ so I can get both NY & Philly PBS stations. Season 4 of Endeavor starts Sun. Aug. 20th but has already aired in the UK. A 5th season has been ordered & expected in 2018. I keep looking at the Endeavor character to detect signs of older Inspector Morse. A few of the scenes with opera music played in context have really presaged the older Morse. It's like an echo in reverse. I can't believe how wrapped up I can be in these outstanding Brit characters!

While I was on PBS Masterpiece site I signed up for their newsletter although I always check PBS stations for any rerun of their series.

Does anyone know where I can find Season 2 of Home Fires? It is long gone from the Comcast On Demand.

Thanks for the heads-up, Sheilajoyce! That one sounds good.

I checked our local channel to see what was playing now and Grandchester is back. Part One airs tonight. I really liked this show as well. I'm so glad you posted about this, other than the news there is Nothing on the local TV channels now that is even remotely interesting to me and (shame on me!) I'd forgotten all about Master Piece Theater!

I think we watched Home Fires on disc from Netflix.

Grantchester returns for me tonight too...I loved that series and have been waiting

for this one...Series 3.

New Series, “My Mother & Other Strangers,” Coming to
Masterpiece

Shot on the stunningly beautiful Ards Peninsula in Northern
Ireland, “My Mother & Other Strangers” portrays the culture clash when a
U.S. bomber base is established near the fictional village of Moybeg in 1943,
bringing hundreds of gum-chewing, swing-band-listening American airmen to a
remote Ulster farming community, with its winsome women and stolid workingmen.

Hattie Morahan (Masterpiece‘s “Sense and Sensibility”; The
Bletchley Circle) stars as Englishwoman Rose Coyne, raising her daughter Emma
and son Francis in Northern Ireland during World War II.

Owen McDonnell (An Klondike) is her loving husband Michael,
a Northern Irishman who realizes he never lived up to her dreams. Aaron Staton
(Mad Men) is Captain Dreyfuss, the honorable American officer who upends her
life.

The series also stars Eileen O’Higgins (Brooklyn), Michael
Nevin (Game of Thrones), Des McAleer (Wuthering Heights), Kate Phillips (“Wolf
Hall” on Masterpiece), Fiona Button (“Grantchester” on Masterpiece), and Ciarán
Hinds (Persuasion).

ratherbesewing asked:

"Does anyone know where I can find Season 2 of Home Fires? It is long gone from the Comcast On Demand".

I am a contributor to my local public TV station, and it has Season 2 of Home Fires online. It is available to members to watch online. You might want to check out the website of your local station.

Does Amazon have "Home Fires"?

We record Masterpiece Theater. I think we are now down to our last "Call the Midwife". Now I'm looking for a glimpse of the dentist character's Austin Healey. It's almost exactly like my 1962 AH 3000, although mine was all blue. DH and laughed at a scene where the couple (Dentist and Trixie) are sitting on the bonnet (hood). It takes hours for a Healey's straight six engine to cool enough for that.

We watched "King Charles III" yesterday. I suspect it was better as a play, but we still enjoyed it. (Fans of Dutchess Kate may not be happy with the way she is portrayed -- or Princess Diana!)

Just heard for sure that "Home Fires" is over....no Series 3 says the author: http://www.kpbs.org/news/2017/mar/29/masterpiece-home-fires-final-season/

Death in Paradise has 5 completed seasons. Enjoyed every episode, beautiful scenery, great music and delightful characters. The main character has changed 3 times, but the supporting characters essentially have remained. Season 5 is currently broadcasting, but I was able to get the earlier seasons DVDs from my library.

"My Mother and Other Strangers", so far seems pretty predictable but the scenery is great. I'll probably continue to watch.

Watched the first 45 minutes of my mother but it did not grab me. Too bad, I need a new series to watch.

Watched the first episode of "My Mother" today. Slow.

Wouldn't you want to be *from* Moybeg as soon as you could?

Lucy: I am not a "member" of my local PBS station. I just pay an ridiculous amount to Comcast each month :) Comcast online won't release it to me.

I agree it was a bit slow, but I think that is part of the story; life in those days in that area was simple, unexciting and "slow" (to us.) I really enjoyed it.
