5.0 out of 5 stars The End of a "Clattering" Good Time, August 13, 2010

This review is from: Clatterford: Season 3 (DVD)

The laughs and tears rolled for three wonderful seasons. Now the bright, funny, and sometimes dramatic TV series, Clatterford, comes to a screeching and saddening conclusion. The latest news: no fourth series.

Just when the women--and men--of Clatterford drew you in with their humor and deadpan deliveries, does BBC television decide to pull the rug out from under our feet. Viewers will miss the characters and all their crazy foibles. It was the warmth of the characters' interactions with each other that heightened the show's success. Gossip and get together over cake and coffee. It was good times.

The direction of each quality episode had sustained its uniqueness each and every time. The writing and dialogue were sharp, as were the actors' performances. All caution was thrown to the wind when the show's storylines dealt head-on with issues like STDs, sexuality, and mental illness. But all in the name of comedy, as only "Clatterford" could do.

To a fabulous cast of actors who, with any luck, will reunite for a brand-spanking new TV series sometime in the future. We can only pray, as we sit around eating cake and drinking coffee, and gossiping about the latest goings-on in the world around us--much like the women of Clatterford. "Jams and Jerusalem," the BBC original title, will be sorely missed. Here is to a great television series. Cheers!

This review is from: Clatterford: Season 3 (DVD)

This has been a terrific series. Apparently lots of people don't "get" it. So many people seemed disappointed that it wasn't AbFab. I loved Ab Fab--own the whole set, but that was then and Clatterford is a whole other, equally funny, thing. Gentler and more woman-centered than Vicar of Dibley, but with an equally compelling cast of actors developing just-on-the-edge of-real characters. Maybe this is what happens to Boomer women when they manage to survive the hyperactivity of the late 20th century urban life (Patsy and Eddie) and the quest for romance and lasting bonding with the perfect man (Geraldine) and live the unique, authentic, even eccentric, lives that they can have when they have some wisdom and live in Devonshire.
Also, it's just so blasted funny to see what women get up to when they are in the "freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose" stage of life.
Jannifer Saunders is totally genius and her dialogue frees up all the actors, especially the fabulous Dawn French, to go mad.
If this show is ending because of lack of audience interest, that's a shame. If it is ending because Saunders feels she's ready to move on, well we can await her next venture enthusiastically. Ricky Gervais, another genius comedy writer/actor, always manages to know when to leave us laughing and go on to the next new-new thing too.
To quote Pauline McLynn, "More anon!" We hope...

After seeing series 1&2 I couldn't wait to see part three. WOW! I have just watched the first three episodes and I laughed, cried...I fell in love agan with this show. The writing is more witty than ANYTHING I have seen recently on american TV. Dawn French as Rosie had me with tears in my eyes! She is more hilarious in this third season than the other two. I am sad to think it ends here.
