Rosemary & Thyme

The Gooseberry Bush - S3-E6

Question: I have watched this episode probably 30 times - I watch it in bed, to put me to sleep - and I don't understand the plot at all, unless it is just an excuse so Rosemary and Laura have to deal with a baby. Is there anyone out there who watches this show besides me? If there is, can you please tell me what this episode is all about?

Three Legs Good - S3-E5

Question: When you are wallpapering, what is it that you brush on the paper after it is on the wall? Helena brushes something that looks like glue on the new wallpaper.

Chosen answer: As far as hanging new wallpaper, there is no need to brush on any additional product once it has been pasted to the wall. It appears Helena may be doing an extra decorative step by applying a liquid glaze over the wallpaper to give it a more distinctive look, perhaps creating a sheen effect on the surface. Glaze can also be tinted to give a muted colored tone. It could also be a protective sealant. However, to remove old wallpaper, a product is brushed on that dissolves the old paste so the paper can be easily scraped off.

Racquet Espanol - S3-E7

Question: What is the story sub plot or significance of the person planting and smuggling a small plant in the handle of a tennis racquet?

Answer: The woman hid the flower in her tennis racket to smuggle it out of the country, because it is a protected species and it would have been illegal to have it on your person. The reason for smuggling it was simply because she liked the flower.

Answer: The groundskeeper only mentions once that his wife likes flowers although the episode never explains or States why he was stealing them, but he was probably stealing them for his wife.

Answer: Regents park.

In a Monastery Garden - S3-E2

Revealing mistake: After the Custos's house has been broken into, the next day, the Custos takes a key out of his jacket pocket, unlocks a drawer and takes out a pile of bound papers. When he closes the drawer, he doesn't take the key out of the lock, but he pantomimes his hand returning the key to his pocket.
