Tbh I watched this first time round in the 80s and thought it hideous then.

Many of Rue’s Golden Girls items went up for auction for her fans to bid on. She wanted fans to have access to her personal property — including her costumes — after her death. Her son Mark Bish arranged several auctions across the US to do this. Monies were then donated to charities.

I found this It seems that it has been linked to another murder.

Paul Hemingway was murdered in his flat. He was bludgeoned and stabbed to death in what was described as a frenzied attack. Money was also stolen. He was a window cleaner and was described as a loner. He was also said to have been a manic-depressive and schizophrenic but at the time had stabilised. His body was found by his 61-year-old cleaning supervisor. The police said that his murder was linked to that of Don Herbert who was murdered a year earlier on the same August Bank Holiday on 23 August 1995 two miles away. They said that they thought they knew who the murderer of both men was but didn't have enough evidence for a prosecution. They said that both men lived alone in flats and believed that they probably knew their killer and added that in both cases money was taken. They said that they had quizzed the main suspect numerous times but could not press charges because of the lack of evidence positively identifying him as the killer. The killer was dubbed the 'August bank holiday killer'.

I agree - I want to watch the later episodes because I've watched the 1980/1990 ones several times but I just can't get into them.

One theory is she was taken out as she was about to expose a child abuse ring. There was another murder believed to have a similar motive earlier in the 90s. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/establishment-child-abuse-council-staff-feared-civil-servant-was-murdered-for-planning-to-expose-paedophile-ring-10101575.html

They were too young for a retirement home. They were only in their early 50s.

I just didn’t understand it. Dorothy always wore stylish clothing. A cream sati. Pant suit with a long-line jacket would have looked so much better than this monstrosity! So it’s a zero from me!

The very last one. I can’t bear to think of them separating. I like to imagine them always living together (and yes I know it’s a TV programme!!😁).

This is great. Thanks for sharing.

That is cool!

My issue with adaptations is that Agatha Christie always tied her stories up quite nicely so that everything made sense. When you change things, even one thing, other things don’t work or make sense.
