Great Brit acting duo....

[lumberingbear]

Patricia Routledge ("Keeping Up Appearances") and Dominic Monaghan ("Lost"; Lord of the Rings")

Just bought all 4 series of "Heddy Wainthrop Investigates". This was Monaghan's first acting job.

1. I don't know that series ..

Violet Carson ..as.. Ena Sharples
Margot Bryant ..as.. Minnie Caldwell

4. "Heddy Wainthrop Investigates" is on PBS occasionally.

It is a mystery series, with some humor added.

I have never seen "Coronation Street", but have heard alot about it. I might check it out.

6. "Then she sat up,

broke wind, and died".

One of Ena's unforgettable lines. :rofl:

As I recall, Minnie replies "oh, isn't that lovely..." <sigh>

And don't forget:




And then there's the queen of British comedy ("and I am unanimous in that!")

8. Yes. Mollie Sugden as "Mrs. Slocum"

She was great in that part. ("And I am unanimous in that!")

2. I LOVE Routledge in "KOA".

HYSTERICAL show.

:rofl::rofl:

5. You would love her in this also.

She plays a self-made PI, with Monaghan as her side kick assistant.

3. Neat!

I've only caught a few episodes of that series, but I really liked it. He was really good.
When LOTR first came out, I had an 'I've seen him before' moment in the theater. :blush::D
