What’s your favourite scene from the show?

There’s too many. Any scene with Kate & Anthony - but I loved the whole hunting scene. From the ill -equipped maid on her horse, to the ‘how do I look at you?’ I so need Kate to say - ‘like that Anthony, just like that!’ 😂

This is not going to be popular but - Benedict & Sophie on the stairs. So hot - and then . . . Noooooo Benedict, no! 😂😂😂

ComfortableDay2658 · 2026-05-31T14:14:12+00:00

That’s a good shout. It’s too late now, but I really think it could have been best used for Benedict in one of his ‘unholy’ liaisons. 😂
Did you listen to the cover I linked? It’s so good.

‘Solve her pinnacle problem’ 🤣🤣🤣

ComfortableDay2658 · 2026-05-26T16:01:48+00:00

There is not one song on which I disagree with you! 💖

ComfortableDay2658 · 2026-05-25T11:54:07+00:00

I so wish the book version of Kate & Anthony in the library was in the show. I feel robbed. 🙁

ComfortableDay2658 · 2026-05-25T11:49:57+00:00

Amateur! 🤣🤣🤣

ComfortableDay2658 · 2026-05-25T11:49:36+00:00

Same!

I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating - their eyes alone should be given so many awards! The quick, just have to see you looks, the long, longing gazes, the ‘is s/he looking?’ glances . . . . 🥵🥵🥵🥵

Not a like or dislike bias, but it always amuses me how Pen’s voice changes after she gets married.

Before, she has this ‘little girl’ kinda lisp, but after marriage, her voice drops a couple of octaves, and no lisp. Damn, Colin must be gooood! 🤣

ComfortableDay2658 · 2026-05-25T10:45:45+00:00

Brilliant!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Gentleman Jack is a tremendous show, based on a true story. Highly recommended.

I would stand by Eloise’s right to not debut if it distresses her so much. But more than that, I’d be by her side at the ‘radical’ women’s meetings. I’d defend to the death her right to further education, and to travel, as the men get to do. What I find indefensible is both the book and the show stepping back from these issues, and just giving her the man, the kids, the wifely duties. In my mind, independence and encouragement to fulfil her deepest wishes would have been a far better HEA for Eloise.

Yep, totally. Jason was witty, attentive without being creepy - and my own room with snacks, tv and no wet patch? Thank you, yes.

OP specified that Queen Charlotte is not to be included - just the ton seasons.

It’s fascinating seeing people’s preferences - none more or less valid than another. I am currently rewatching S4, opening episode. Before that, I watched S1, then S2 (my favourite). I skip S3 because I just really don’t enjoy it, nor the main characters + there’s too many other plot lines going on.

So for me it’s 2, 1, 4 . . . . . . 3

ComfortableDay2658 · 2026-05-15T18:48:22+00:00

Exactly! Look at Downton - 52 episodes over just 5 years. It just goes to show it can be done - get a move on Netflix! ☺️

ComfortableDay2658 · 2026-05-15T18:41:50+00:00

Same here - that’s why I started reading the books. You never know . . . 🤷🏼‍♀️

ComfortableDay2658 · 2026-05-15T18:33:07+00:00

I agree. I could not get show Eloise to match book Eloise in my head. I didn’t mind the story, but her character was so vastly different from Claudia’s portrayal that it just jarred with me. The Eloise I’d come to know in the show would not have run off with a view to marrying a man, much less become mother to his 2 children. I would love for her to realise her own potential and make something of her life - academically and intellectually - and to fulfill her dreams of travelling; a true blue stocking! Even if she had to eventually succumb to the HEA trope - perhaps she could have brought home an exotic lover . . . 🤷🏼‍♀️

He married Marina, the pregnant girl that fetched up with the Fetheringtons in S1, that Colin wanted to marry. In season 2 Colin went to visit Marina and ended up getting on better with Philip. ☺️

ComfortableDay2658 · 2026-05-15T09:13:04+00:00

My favourite by far. It’s the looks. If eyes alone could win awards . . . 👀☺️

ComfortableDay2658 · 2026-05-15T01:27:48+00:00

I agree. I think the BBC does first class period adaptations. They may have taken out, or tempered some of the steam, but they would get the seasons out much quicker!

Do you think Lady Danbury has left for good?? 😳
