Monarch Of The Glenn

[cailin maith]

It's quite obvious you are a very poor sockpuppet, is it not time you gave this one up?

WHS -

Seriously you need to quit now, it's cringeworthy.

Bit ironic since you live next to the "Eastern Necropolis" I would say lol!

Nowhere near it. You must try harder.

Ohhh I actually caught sight of this while channel hoping to avoid the adverts on Sky

Seemed to be full of people speaking in clipped English accents trying to land a monster Pike...but did feature that doe eyed bint from the Forsythe saga.

Seemed watchable

This one has two:

What part of

has anybody been watching this? I didn't see any of these programmes when they were first serialised on the BBC but am thoroughly enjoying the re runs on ITV3 every evening. I always make sure I'm on the sofa, in my jim jams with my tea on my lap ready for the start at 7.50.

last night's episode was very sad though as it was the one in which Richard Briers' character was killed off.

One thing that fascinates me about the programme is the main character, Archie, and particularly his romantic interests or lack thereof.
During the first series, we were introduced to the tempestuous relationship between him and his then wife, Justine, as his sights became trained on an old schoolfriend, Catriona, who had returned to Glenbogle. Finally splitting with his wife, the writers teased viewers with a "Will they or won't they" scenario between Archie and Catriona for the rest of the series until, finally we relised that they weren't going to.

Now Archie is due to marry his housekeeper Alexi who promplty dumped him at the altar last night, though with a promise to marry him at a later date.

Well, all this suspense is just too much for me so my question to the good people of this forum (assuming you are also keen Glenners like myself) is this; does Archie ever marry Alexi or anyone else for that matter?

is cringeworthy?

I merely posted this to stimulate some debate on a programme I enjoy and to also garner some knowledge vis a vis the future of one of the characters in the show. Don't see what is cringeworthy in that at all.

So it was first shown on the BBC and has now made it ontp ITV - that doesn't happen often!

Nothing. I've been watching it too though I can't answer your question as I didn't see it first time round either.

Monarch of the Glen is actually a bastardisation of a series of novels by Compton MacKenzie. Never read any of them but I did read his excellent The Red Tapeworm - the book which apparently influenced Yes Minister. Well worth a read.

Keep up the use of the expression (?)1 'vis a vis' though gricer, it's surely not used enough.

Vis a vis your request I will duly oblige.

Very sad last night, Golly the gillie headed into the sunset after a row with Archie, presumably never to be seen again. It was so sad! Does anyone know if he comes back?
