Re: Sanditon
Ahead of the show's upcoming US broadcast, here's a primer to the characters:
https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/sp ... -sanditon/
It's a 2 hour premiere starting Sunday, Jan. 12th.
The companion book The World of Sanditon by Sara Sheridan was a good overview about the series.

Re: Sanditon
The series was enjoyable, Anne Reid steals it in the same way that Maggie Smith stole all her scenes in Downton. Not sure if there'll be a second series though.

Re: Sanditon
Where was that scene filmed or that place looks familiar? A handy guide to the filming locations for Sanditon:

Re: Sanditon
I begin to wonder if UK TV channels will continue to do these deals with Masterpiece Theatre by which Masterpiece cough up a percentage of the production costs to get exclusive distribution rights in the US. It now seems that most UK content which will eventually also include that from Channel 4 will end up on Britbox and no longer feature on Netflix or Amazon Prime so I am not sure that the value of the previous Masterpiece deals will continue. I don't know, it just seems to me that there must be questions asked about these distribution deals (not just with Masterpiece).

Re: Sanditon
Throughout the series, Jane Austen references have appeared on the set design. An interview with production designer Grant Montgomery:

Enjoy!
Almost done! Episode 6 broadcasted here in the US last night. (The premiere was a double header so it's a slight numbering sequence from the UK broadcast)

Re: Sanditon
The finale was on Sunday, and it was quite an ending! Andrew Davies wanted the ending to be what it was. Since there won't be a season 2, here's what three of the cast said about their roles:

I enjoyed watching the adaptation of Sanditon but "once is enough" for me. I did find the digital soundtrack album of the show online so I can listen to that anytime!
