And as written it seems Charlotte may after all marry Mr Stringer as Esther has married Babington and maybe Sidney will marry Eliza all pragmatic. This is not an ending, this is not Jane, this is STUPID! She is taken to Sanditon by Mrs Griffiths, along with the two Beaufort sisters. Like, really Charlotte, your good friend Georgiana comes home from a traumatic kidnapping and you go visit her like what, twice? If there *is* a season 2, I will go into with lowered expectations for what this story should look/feel/sound/be like and Id try to actually enjoy it. Charlotte says without inflection, I dont think badly of you., He then says, I dont love her, you know Im just fulfilling my side of the bargain., This is the UNFAIREST cut of them all. Like Downton Abbey it deserves more from these fine actors and actresses. I *loved* that Arthur stepped up to offer his inheritance. Now I want to see Pride and Prejudice and Pirates. Please believe me there was no other way to resolve Toms situation. Shortly afterwards, a maid brought them coffee and they were joined by Lord Babington, a friendly-looking man in his mid-thirties. Sadly, there will be no second season. Sanditon Episode 3. Thank you for your subversive nature. I loved the ending for Lord Babbington and Esther. The horses gallop along a beautiful stretch of beach. June 27, 2021. With time and a little more character development she would come to understand it better. At Denham House, Clara witnesses a scene that raises her suspicions. Sidney and Charlotte should be together. The opportunity is there for a real love story, but not until she grows up a little and he commits to being honorable and seriously understanding his responsibility to protecting her and her money. In another scene, Tom grovels in front of Mary and she, milquetoast, er, loving wife, that she is, forgives him. BTW: I was always amazed that if the pond scene had been actualized how quickly could a gentleman have possibly changed from wet clothes to dry in a flash to reach the embarrassed heroine before she escaped with her aunt and uncle. I aspire to perfectioning my tongue in cheek reviews! I think a better ending would have been for her to see Sidney as a mere flirtation and opt for James, but if she was destined to end up with Sidneythen DO it. I actually enjoyed the movie Pride and Prejudice and Zombies better than the ending of this mini-series. Sanditon is a sleepy tale based in a seaside village. And would-be adaptors of her stories today should either honor her intentions (clearly shown by her finished works, her letters, and oft-quoted let other pens dwell on guilt and misery) or just leave Jane out of it and write their own story. Sidney and Tom would not have included have listened to, not included her in their financial discussions, she wouldnt have been able to visit Stringers home (many times!) She basically calls him a wuss and says: You are the worlds worst carriage driver., Why not? As she drives the horses even faster we gain insight into their future relationship. He clearly would like to marry but feels himself inadequate. Sanditon is STILL unfinished! Then I wondered how the same person who created the quintessential Pride & Prejudice could have created an Austen adaptation where only the least likeable character got a happy ending and all other story lines were left unresolved. Thank you for your comment! Wasnt that nice?. J. Its wrenching to see a story end in the middle. Premieres Sundays . II, By CHARLES G. HARPER. I watched Sanditon some time ago and did not think at the time that I would want to see a second season, but now I do, just to give Vic a fresh whetstone for her wit. I dont think Davies can get Sidney out of this hole he created. With so many flaws in characters and situations, his ability to mimic Austen is strictly in his swollen ego. I suppose the wedding will be episode one of season three followed by Sydney getting killed in a carriage accident the next day. We do deserve one more episode. But he is not attracted. I wish Sanditon had been marketed to us as a mini soap opera version of a Jane Austen classic romance rather than a continuation of an unfinished novel. I reach for crackers with sharp New Zealand cheddar cheese and a fine red Australian wine and watch Lady D and Esther playing cards. The show can be watched on PBA stations in the US and have a total of eight episodes available. The neglected tombstone found in an overgrown burial ground. The character Miss Lambe, a West Indian heiress, is "a real effort to represent someone in a very difficult situation at the time," said Crystal Clarke, right in "Sanditon." Credit . It's revealed in the season 2 premiere that Sidney Parker died from yellow fever on a trip to Antigua after the events of the first season finale. Like you, I found the death of Stringer Senior contrived, but it did not endear the young man to me. She also was, at 22, facing spinsterhood. So disappointed in the ending. I feel weary even thinking about a second season because you know that Sydney and Charlotte wont be able to get together until the very end of the season. The P&P-like turning point that Davies was playing for didnt quite work for me. In many cases if you married for love you were quite destined to be poor for all your life. Not sure what fate Sidney deserves. I would hope Clara comes back but if its again these seething melodramatic absurdities Id just as soon skip her doing more handjobs. Violins violin. In this instance, the viewer is treated to the morning after the wedding night, when we see that Esther is not disappointed. It wasnt his fault that the plot went nowhere and the characters were untrue to Austen. Miss Lamb? This is NOT Jane Austen! I know Rose Williams rather liked the ending with the man ending up in a marriage of financial convenience, whereas, it was pretty much always women who ended up that way, and I can truly appreciate that little twist of fate here, but I was still bummed out by the ending. Looked dinky, cheap, fake, loaded with CGI and not up to the standards of the other exterior locations. Sanditon is back! Ending of 'Sanditon'. As for my feelings about the final episode: Boooo, Andrew Davies!! Its for Charlotte and (eyeing his ball attire), you look like one of THEM! Yes, it has that feel, doesnt it? Season 1. I liked the series but loved the last two episodes. My favorite part in the whole series: 1) when the workers stormed in to the cricket match, and some idiot gentleman said they look good. Yes, they did! She was the only truly Jane Austen character in the whole series. You arent (gag) in love with him!? If Jane could have seen this pathetic ending she would have hired a hit man to take out Andrew Davies. In some instances, links will be removed from comments as well.

At this point Ive eaten all my crackers and cheese, texted my Janeite friends with my observances, and poured another glass of an outstanding 94-point Fox in the Hen House wine. Love your analysis that wine must have been good. She was an immature, inexperienced child. Very disappointing. I actually loved Esthers character and glad she and her Lord got a happy ending. Definitely need a season 2I love this series even though it does feel a bit rushed.Im already hooked on this show..please, please give us a season 2 with a better outcome ( for Charlotte & Sidney), No one can write like Jane. The only thing I regret is the sense Tom has hell be all right. I didnt like the trajectory of her story line and expected her part in the drama to be more complex and for her to be given a strong story arc that demonstrated growth and stamina. I am a proud lifetime member of the Jane Austen Society of North America. Yarrrr! So Sidney will continue as the cynical man thwarted in love. Help! I did enjoy the Esther + Lord Babington storyline. James is beside himself with grief and regret. Charlotte visits James Stringer. In their scene together he says all the words that a hero would say at the VERY END of a romance, but we are only halfway into the story! From the miserly and rich Lady Denham (Anne Reid), the Antiguan heiress Miss Lambe (Crystal Clarke), to social "brother and sister" schemers attempting to inherit the mean Lady Denham's money. Charlotte and Sidney continue to clash, resulting in Miss Lambe being placed in terrible danger. Brandon. 9 September 2019Naomi Clifford. Jen, I have often wondered if Jane saw Charlottes fate similar to hersas an independent spinster, courted by men, but with no desire to marry. The show kept trying to depict Tom learning from his mistakes and starting over better, but ultimately I dont think he changed at all! But at the heroines age of 22hmm. Here is a look at the official description of each episode from Sanditon according to the official website of the PBS with its airing date and time. Why was this disaster HIS full burden to bear? Lord Babb had more personality in his little finger than James, king of the friend zone. According to the official website of the PBS, they will be airing the eight episodes again this month. I have loved reading your perspectives. One of the times that happened before was when I was watching Ivanhoe (stay with me briefly) I was watching if like many others but I was just stuck on Sir Brian de Bois Guilbert. He is not, as far as we know, a seducer. So there you are,Vic.It appeals to my subversive nature. Well, clearly, we move onto Charlotte Bront. None of the other characters grew in any noticeable way. Sanditon might have been tolerable enough if they had left any expectation of Janes wit out of it. Warning: SPOILERS for Sanditon Season 2, Episode 4. Really, all that happens in the part Austen wrote was setting the story in motion by getting Charlotte to Sanditon and mentioning the coming of Miss Lambe the heiress, and introducing most of the characters. Sanditon airs Sundays at 8:00 p.m. and is available to stream the following day. A second series is demanded I think they could have been very good friends. We discovered she had a secret love called Otis who was a good man but flawed because. Are you kidding me! Sanditon has been some kind of a revelation for me, I havent figured it all out yet. Charlotte is, understandably, in a period of mourning so that the audience can commiserate. Ugh, when it ended I was left staring at the tv searching for the TV guide. Regency manners require her to accept this invitation or bow out from dancing for the rest of the evening. I dont really understand all the outrage. It was obvious well before the first episode finished that this series had nothing to do with Jane Austen. I didnt have the benefit of wine and cheese but my reaction to the final scene was identical to yours. Or is it that none of our young men have taken your fancy? She turns to Sidney: What do you say, Mr. Parker?. Davies and his team have an obligation to viewers to end this mini-series without a cliff hanger. Here's the official season 2 synopsis: "The drama will continue to follow the high-spirited and independent heroine, Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams) as she returns to the picturesque coastal. She is a wealthy heiress and was described as 'half-mulatto' and in poor health. The viewers instantly know why Sidney needs to see her when he says, Tell me you dont think badly of me. It was released on 17th April 2022 by PBS. Vic, thanks for all the summaries and dissections. The first 7 episodes of Sanditon made me believe Davies was treating his adaptation in the style and parameters of Austens other works. I reach for more wine and learn to my surprise that one can gulp 3 ounces in one fell swoop. Sanditon introduces a delicious cast of supporting characters, including Miss Georgiana Lambe (Crystal Clarke), the first significant person of color in an Austen work, and Miss Lambe's. Jane would not have written it that way! Then comes the piece de resistance in romance dialoguesIf Ive changed at all it is in no small part down to you. How is this the same writer?? Will Mrs. Campion conveniently kick the bucket or will Charlotte warm up to poor James Stringer? Her complexion glows. Whether I would bother to buy the DVD if there were a next time, Im not sure, but what we saw was fun. Well said, and funny too. I agree that the Sidney character as written by the Davies team comes nowhere near Austens heroes, because, as you say, he is written with a lack of wit. Also, Charlotte needs to go back to not being afraid of speaking her mind and maybe spend like any time with some of the ladies she made friends with in Sanditon. I find the Outlander series vastly superior: why? End of discussion. Charlotte/Sidney is boring by comparison. Sidney Parker essentially sold himself out to a past love?!?! I hope to review Emma as soon as it comes to my region! I think: *WTDFJH? In ancient Greek theatre, this DEM device came in the form of an angel or god of sorts lowered onto a stage who would save the protagonists. The seaside resort of Sanditon boasts some familiar faces in Season 3 including Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris), heiress Georgiana Lambe (Crystal Clarke, Empire of . You get what you pay for, or dont pay for. We may receive books (physical or digitized) and DVDs for review purposes. Although a happy ending is not necessary, there are several loose ends. (Which, I must confess, I thoroughly enjoyedwhile I think the writers did VERY wrong in their resolution, Theo James & Rose Williams have very good chemistry.). I could go on and on but suffice it to say, it was the transformation of the character unfolding that was actually changing me. I think we deserve at least one more episode to clear it all up. Augh. As well, as saying love does not end the way it should sometimes. Miss Lambe is a young lady-probably a niece-under Mrs. Griffiths' care, richer than all the rest, and very delicate health. Lady D swoops down upon the hapless brothers and sister, saying she wants her investment back or else theyll all be put in the poor house. Charlotte is stunned, however. Sanditon will come to an end with its third and final season next month as the PBS fan-favorite series eyes its return date. Tom will still make all the wrong moves. I love all the different plot scenarios people are sending in for Season 2. Charlotte needs a typical Austen ending! It will have to go some to beat the BBCs version with Romola Garai. I thought that they were strongly hinting that Arthur is homosexual, and that he was also confessing that to his sister when he said know nothing about ladies not for me lifelong bachelor. Of course, it could be interpreted eithe way. When the arrival of two eligible bachelors signals a potential change in status for the Bennet sisters, their marriage-minded mother is sent into a frenzy, and the lively, witty Elizabeth Bennet goes head-to-head with smoldering, haughty Mr. Darcy. He hies back to Sanditon several weeks after his departure, causing ulcers and sleepless nights for kith and kin. Lady Campion, all noxious graciousness, insinuates herself into the conversation. How are your wedding preparations? she asks, her face immobile, as if injected by botox. How could Sidney have done this? This blog is a personal blog written and edited by me and my team. This was a normal TV soapie series, and that is why of course it couldnt end, but only leave you wondering what will happen next time. Does anyone recall a scene from Becoming Jane where she turns to her sister, Cassandra, and mentions that she will give all her heroines a happy ending in her honor (paraphrase). Although Arthur reaches out to Miss Lambe as a friend, for which we all admire him for, he does confess to Diana he will never marry. I just love all the love, loathing, apoplexic outbursts and all that high blood pressure and, so on and so forth, expressed about this series. Sentimentality such as in the scene between Tom and his wife and then Sidney and Charlotte on the cliff grates on me by its untruthfulness. All care toward making things accurate to the period was forfeited, and Charlotte, this common-folk visitor girl was allowed in every conversation and situation. Its everything hes ever dreamed of. One thing is for sure, fan fiction will give Charlotte the ending she deserves or that makes Austen sense. There are so many tantalizing threads to pick up on here, so many forks in roads and paths. (#1 goes to the London ball, and #3 to the assembly ball at the beginning of the series.) Jane Austen smacking Davies about the headnow that would be worth watching! Arthur would have been kind and he has money. The couple meanders along the Downs, lost in tender emotions and lust. After reading through the comments, I realize that, while there are plenty of plot strands which could be developed for a second season, none of them draws my interest as much as the Sidney/Charlotte one and that one has, failing another DEM, is DOA. Wouldnt she at that point be as sharp-tongued as she was in her first balcony scene with him? Shes so delighted with the newsso pleased for himso gushingthat he must be disappointed with that overenthusiastic reaction. Up until then, had we ever seen Arthur and Georgiana together? I LOVE Sanditon. They really botched this one with no real ending. Most galling, to me, was the final scene. Sanditon is MASTERPIECE's bold and lavish adaptation of Jane Austen 's final work. I am more concerned with the Miss Lambe storyline. Sidney was most amiable by the end of episode 7 and in the finale he left me not wanting to invest any more time and energy in him and his relationship with Charlotte. Then Sidney is way laid by Tom. You may think yourself the savior of Sanditon, but you have done so at the price of your character.. Cant Lady Susan give them some money or better yet have the Prince Regent give it? I am mostly sad that Georgiana was dropped from the storyline completely and had no ending. When I did, I began to enjoy it, but I do not like loose ends that we were left with. Are you still proclaiming your independence? Dont have this strong, individualistic, hard-working woman being manipulated by an older man. But what happens after the Jane Austen plot runs out? Not nearly so much fun I think. I too watched last night and thought, Thats it?! If you arent sending Sidney after the carriage to announce that hes shed Mrs. Campion & only wants Charlotte for his bride, DONT SEND HIM AT ALL!! Her complexion glows. And quite uncharacteristic of Lady Denham. It would make him feel real. without a chaperone. Sigh He's kind. For some reason, the elder Stringer, instead of attending the ball, works late by candlelight on a stepladder to complete the Crescent all by his lonesome. Turlough Convery as Arthur Denham in "Sanditon" (Red Planet/PBS) Someone else who is taken in by Lockhart is Arthur Parker (Turlough Convery). I, too, am somewhat disappointed in the ending but if is not implausible, on the contrary. This is not how Jane would have ended things. Gosh, gee, golly, Polly, thank you for the compliment. Shes not half the woman you areif he doesnt see that he doesnt deserve you.. (Yes, we are fallible. We'll own up to our mistakes and will make the corrections with a polite smile on our faces.) Isnt she rolling in it? Miss Lambe's story is totally unresolved. Even if Sidney had said, I must do this for us the ultimate sacrifice, at least it would have shown that the family was aware and cared about what it would mean for him. My, oh, my! R.W. In the eighth clip released, Miss Lambe (Crystal Clarke) receives a letter from her love Otis (Jyuddah Jaymes). Before we rush to the comment section to share our opinions, lets analyze the final show. Good for you, Lizzie. Thats it? Surely you jest..that is not a ending.Jane would be horrified. At least hes gutsy enough to tell her in person of his actions. The members of PBS passports can stream them. Absolutely agree, particularly about the ridiculousness of the Parkers not objecting to Sidney sacrificing himself. Thank YOU for allowing all of us to vent and share in our love of Jane. Click here to enter the page. I guess were lucky S&C didnt run away like Lydia and Wickham to ruin the family even more. We should see him as noble for taking such a hit, but instead he just seems obnoxious. Write us at. The actors did an amazing job. Why was Sanditon Cancelled? Ugh. I agree with Polly above about asking Miss Lambe for the money, but since she resents Sidney, she probably wouldnt have given it. Reaching episode 8 I was in shock that Davies switched the DNA of what we know to be a Jane Austen novel with traditional endings based on the character development presented. He sees her as well. I am trying to move forward but Im kind of stuck, I hope Mr. Davies does something to wrap things up cause its really bugging me and I dont feel like its my story to tell but I LOVE these characters and he better fix it. No problem, Lynne. Sidney didnt change at all except for becoming attracted to Charlotte and therefore being nicer to her. Charlotte, my dear CharlotteI had hoped that upon my return Id be able to make you a proposal of marriage, but it cannot bethe fact is I have been obliged to engage myself to Mrs. Eliza Campion.. Well, off you go, then.. Everything has changed. People so far, especially his own family are still fooled and taken with what they are incorrectly perceiving as brilliance, which is yet to be revealed as the impractical musings of a dreamer. Shown from left to right: Charlotte Heywood (ROSE WILLIAMS) and Georgiana Lambe (CRYSTAL CLARKE) in SANDITON Season 2 On MASTERPIECE, Sundays, March 20 - April 24, 2022 on PBS. Where did you find the BBC version of Sanditon? Scant resources existed in the early 19th century to fight fires in buildings made largely of wood, and the structure is swiftly destroyed. Thats why it feels like a betrayal to people. It is a truth universally acknowledged that a tertiary character left alone with a lighted candle must inevitably burn down the building. I was as heartbroken as anyone and frankly am still grieving (I had PBS Passport and watched it all a few weeks ago) but I really enjoyed it. One or two episodes would be nice. The only reason for a man to ride pell-mell after his lover is to reclaim hernot to rub salt into her wounds. She and Sidney would not have been allowed to roam the countryside alone, Tom would not have been allowed to wander town and try and charm the Prince Regents special lady in shirtsleeves without a jacket on!!! Disclaimer: Our team makes no profit from this blog. They could have had a lovely life together. Do you think they wanted the ending to be like the movie about Jane Austen where she ran away with the man she loved, only to find out he had to marry for money because of taking care of his family? People have assumed Lockhart father was a partner of lambe's father rather than relative. Charlotte sets out to avoid Sidney, until a serious accident forces them together . Sanditon is back for season 2! I mean, Darcy can jump into a pond if he wants to, but generally speaking the physicality of the 1995 Pride and Prejudice made a great deal of sense; this, from handjobs in the woods to rutting on the drawing room floor, is utterly ludicrous. If you thought that ending would make viewers happy, you deserve a smack in the head from Jane Austen. You expressed yourself beautifully and I like your take on this series. Tom, who was riding high a few hours ago with visions of profits dancing in his head, is utterly destroyed financially. This Sanditon pirate/director used the Jane Austen platform (or should I say plank) to walk these characters off the edge into Davy Jones locker. subversive meaning a man (kindly meant). However, in Sanditon they are both entertaining and hopeless to help, as Dr. Fuchs agrees. As James and Charlotte dance, he tells her hes found an excellent situation in London as an apprentice. It was a real missed opportunity there and the writers did a poor job with her. Charlotte and Sidney clash over Miss Lambe's illicit meeting with Otis. And I actually found him more interesting this season . At that moment, Lord Babbington is announced and he enters smiling and smug, and asks Esther to accompany him for a ride. Charlotte and Sidney started a typical enemies to lovers situation that eventually imploded after Sanditon burned down; because Tom neglected to get insurance, Sidney was forced to marry his wealthy widowed ex to save the day. The only storyline that gave me any satisfaction was the marriage of Lord Babbington and Esther. Sanditon is believed to feature Jane Austen's only black character in Miss Lambe, an heiress from the West Indies, even though she's never explicitly described as such in the novel. I wonder what she's up to. The camera pans to Sidney chasing after Charlotte on his powerful steed. ), Personally, I will stick to the Sanditon ending as written by Another Lady. Its not perfectly Austen either, but it is a good deal better than this! Austen is rolling over in her grave. The horses increase their speed, their manes and tails flying in the wind. A general critique of the whole series is they dont trust us for a moment not to be bored. Ha! Emmy and Bafta-winning writer Andrew Davies brings Jane Austen's unfinished last novel vividly to life. Episode 6. I hated the ending! I do think they should ditch drippy Charlotte and Sidney and give us the adventures of Lord and Lady B, possibly in company with Miss Lambe and Mr Arthur Parker, with wicked Sir Edward lurking in the shadows. Esthers bored and pays scant attention to the game, which prompts Lady D to complain, You are playing like a nincompoop. Copyright Statement: Jane Austen's World blog, 2009-2022. Sidney rides off in the sunset to London to find funds. If that had not happened would Lady D have even had a reason to survive to the next episode? I quite agree with you Dcupton poor Mr Davies is deluding himself. We agree on so many points. Just one more episode to wrap up some unsatisfying ends would be most welcome. Thank you for the patience for going through this. Sidney visits Tom in the drawing room and catches Charlotte going out to adjust the final finishes to her ball gown. Thats how I see it anyway. He then confesses hes the same man. Miss Lambe ( Crystal Clarke) arrives in the seaside resort of Sanditon under the protection of Mrs Griffiths, a middle-aged white woman whose other "charges" include the English Miss. Once again, the scenery of the Downs is sublime. Davies needs a while other season to wrap up these loose ends. Play me something jolly.. Sidney, you may think that a woman is there for you to use for pleasure or money, to play games with or exploit. Then Charlotte drops a bombshell Sidney is a wonderful man. Sorry about the duplication my computer is acting up. Posted in Jane Austen Sequels, Jane Austen's World, PBS Movie Adaptation, Sanditon | Tagged Epi;sode 8: sanditon, Poll | 136 Comments. I can hope that after all Charlotte marries Mr Stringer and like Esther learns to love her worthy kind consistent tender hard-working husband. The ball as far as I recall, it really was a ball and not one of the monthly Assembly Hall things that were common in many towns, and so I was very taken aback when Stringer appeared.
