It's television after all and I hope that they would bring them back together for another series. Granted, two female gardeners working on grand estates where murders occur is unlikely to happen in reality but it's not real. They work very well together and it would be a terrible shame to end the series now. Felicity's Rosemary Boxer is more down to earth, sensible, and smart while Pam's Laura Thyme is quite charming to watch as well. I found the platonic chemistry between Felicity Kendal CBE and Pam Ferris to be very entertaining. I was saddened to hear that last night's episode of this show was the last of the series. And I love the way British TV has realistic, believable women who aren't babes in leads. There are a lot worse shows on American TV, no need to dump on this if it isn't to one's taste. When it is on public TV on Mystery night, I watch it. When I see such unnecessary venom on a review, it makes me wonder if the writer were rejected for a job on the show or was dumped by someone on the show. It isn't necessary to put it down with such rancor. I like this, consider myself well read and educated, etc but I can see not everyone will like everything. There are so many shows that are completely plot driven, with high tech effects but the character has no basis in real life that make this gentle show refreshing. This is not a blood and cuts, men shooting at men, plot driven macho show. I think the women gardeners who end up being detectives are believable characters, who use intuition, common sense, keen perceptions of character, as well as their knowledge of horticulture, to solve crimes. Well this may not be to the taste of everyone but it isn't as dreadful as the previous poster says at all.
