I look forward to Jace Lacob’s interviews with the cast, writers, producers, and other creators of some of my favorite shows ever, especially All Creatures Great and Small. He does his research and asks great questions that make watching the shows even more enjoyable. It is clear how much he loves the shows too.

Such a terrible, and not a loving, love story. In real life we’d call that an abusive, dysfunctional relationship. She’s cruel—and no one cares why—and selfish. Maybe she has a personality disorder. She’s completely unlikeable, a harsh personality, and even harsh in appearance. Hard, sharp, angular, brittle and cruel. He was innocent and sweet, like a puppy she seems to enjoy kicking. Did watch it—kept waiting for it to get better, but it didn’t—but it left me feeling terrible. The ending was awful, with the child and the two graves. Maybe the message was that death put them out of their misery. She made him suffer, and he made his wife and daughter suffer because of it. He suffered too, but it was avoidable. She didn’t deserve him, that’s certain. Awful story. Please don’t do anything like that again, Masterpiece!

I loved listening to this interview regarding this last episode which expounded so much on her past and her feelings. She spoke almost as if she was being interviewed during that era yet I believe it is her reality of life today. That makes me realize how superficial many of our stars/celebrities present themselves and their lives. Ms. Madeley shows such humility, transparency and virtue. We think we have progressed to such openness and permissive to all, that we have lost innocence and boundaries that are for our virtue. CW

These interviews could be wonderful, but the host has a voice that’s hard on the ears, and he is not engaging with the guests.
