For anyone interested, the quote about the unseen hook and the twitch upon the line comes from G.K. Chesterton's short story, "The Queer Feet." It is this story that Lady Marchmain was reading aloud in a previous episode.
What about Sebastian's opinion of Bridey; "He's much the craziest of us, only it doesn't come out all. He's all twisted inside. He wanted to be a priest....He was the most upset when Papa went abroad - much more than mummy really".
I do love the unending series of variations that Geoffrey Burgon composed for his superb theme. Sometimes you have the melody, but mostly just the harmony. I suppose if you strung them all together they would last for hours. How is it the pious Bridey tolerates sharing his home with two adulterers?
I love Bridey! I know others do not share this opinion (from comments I read in response to earlier parts of the series), but I think he's hilarious and rather sweet.
@JustAMinute121 It is "not a bad thing" because he can afford it not to be. But one can wonder wether it is a good thing that their world would have been like this...
So that's the end of their line. A marriage to a mature widow of no birth or breeding. Catholicism seems to have preempted honour, duty, responsibility and tradition.
God the anti-Catholic obsessives on these threads are so tiresome. There are plenty of reasons why a family line dies out, but I would have thought the mania for marriage and children--you know those Catholics, they breed like hamsters--would ensure continuance into eternity. The British aristocracy runs to dysfunctional families. It's a natural result of outsourcing the upbringing of your children till they're old enough to be packed off to boarding school till adulthood. Religion barely enters into it.
A collection of matchboxes. Perfect.
'bridey' did the best 'Arthur' ever - bbc's TV series of hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.

you're not the only one! His heart is in the right place, and he's endearingly awkward.

Bridey is simply beaming with happiness here. I find him more adorable while Charles is getting more and more sinister.

He’s autistic and it wasn’t and still isn’t understood
I like Bridey. I'm happy for him. :)
Oh my God he still has that fucking mustache.

Bridey is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too handsome in the series! In the book he's stocky and balding.
More so angular and granite like - much like Julia is in this series!
Oh yes!
Oh My God - how did I not spot that?
I liked this version of Bridey better. The newer one was giving me Cecil Vyse vibes

Diana Quick looks a little like Reeva Steenkamp
