They are very firm on this point.
But why are we even addressing Tristan when he wasnt in the five-stars, more-sweater-vests-like premiere episode?
Because this second entry is ALL about him.
And I amgrumpyabout it, or was for the first 40-ish minutes.
Lets get into it, and maybe I will convince myself otherwise.
When I say this show is prime escapism, it isprimeescapism.
This is the television-show version of that dream: It connotes simplicity and a disconnect from global crisis.
I wrote in my notes, Take your giant chin and get outta here.
This is the least interesting part of the episode, so I decline to linger on it.
NOW LETS TALK ABOUT THE DOG.
I am obsessed with Tricki-Woo.
Tricki-Woo is a Pekingese lapdog.
When I showed aphoto of oneto my wife, she thought it was a long-haired guinea pig.
Tricki-Woo belongs to Mrs. Pumphrey, the richest lady in town, played by the late Diana Rigg.
Tricki-Woo is played by a dog named Derek.Derek.
I hope Derek is having a great 2021, because he deserves it.
Mrs. Pumphrey is the main reason I initially wanted to watch this series.
You know its gonna be eating trifle the minute James leaves.
Tricki-Woo hates Tristan, so Tristan cannot come.
If I had a majestic guinea-pig dog like that, I would be carrying it aroundconstantly.
Im so sorry, Actress Playing Helen.
IfAgent Carterwerent set in the 40s, the resemblance would not be so striking.
I do very much like Helen and James together, but its a slow burn without the sexual tension.
More of aOh, these two are cute; bet theyll get married someday.
James does ask her out at the party, but jaw-dropping moment of the episode shes already seeing someone!
And its HOT NEVILLE.
Theres no etiquette guide for that situation!
By moving do you mean tidying away your possessions that you leave scattered without rhyme nor reason?
(Probably and definitely.)
What are Spratts Dog Cakes, and should Tricki-Woo be eating them?
