I hope The Purple Alliance didn't veer sharply right from then on though. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the other link too.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I think many astrologers do see it as you describe, women coming into their own as clestial bodies are discovered and appropriately named to fit - "as above so below". I'm not completely convinced about this though, in spite of my belief that "something is going on" with regard to astrology in general.<BR/><BR/>I prefer to think of women coming into power as simply a natural progression, nothing to do with the stars....apart from each woman's individual stars, of course. But that's just my own view....I can be a bit obtuse in some areas, especially re newly discovered asteroids, centaurs etc.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-76096638177627249002008-01-03T14:41:00.000-06:002008-01-03T14:41:00.000-06:00Hi, Twilight, I might have it screwed up-- the dvd...Hi, Twilight, <BR/><BR/>I might have it screwed up-- the dvds might include the placards at the end. I can't remember now. But I do believe the wikipedia entry for Mrs. Pritchard includes the information on the placards. For convenience, here is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Amazing_Mrs._Pritchard -- it's the note that appears in the episode 6 synopsis. The same thing appeared in the US American version. <BR/><BR/>Also, I would be remiss if I didn't mention this fansite: www.jodhimaydomain.us/forum -- there is a thread (or two) about "AMP" in The Telly section. There is some discussion about these things there. <BR/><BR/>And, I agree-- is H Clinton the right woman for the job? Just because certain women break this ceiling doesn't mean they are the right person for the job-- well said, Twilight! It is of some interest, I think, that this-- H. Clinton's bid for the White House-- comes up at a time when the stars are saying women will be taking on more powerful roles in the world. That is the point I was trying to make earlier. <BR/><BR/>Well wishes.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627258161566063860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-52674529565884639142008-01-03T13:09:00.000-06:002008-01-03T13:09:00.000-06:00Hello K-atyOh - I missed the BBC's end placards - ...Hello K-aty<BR/><BR/>Oh - I missed the BBC's end placards - Dang! I bought the DVDs having missed all but the pilot on TV.<BR/><BR/>I'll look around the net to see whether the details contained in the placards have been included anywhere. Thanks for the information.<BR/><BR/>Re: Ms Clinton, I think we have to class her as one of the avant garde. Margaret Thatcher had a similar role in the UK. It was bound to happen, a natural progression - whether celestial bodies have anything to do with it is uncertain in my own mind.<BR/><BR/>The $64,000 question is "are they the right women for the jobs". I think it doesn't necessarily follow that, because they break that glass ceiling, they are automatically the best ones for the jobs on offer. :-)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hello RJ - I think you'd enjoy it -DVDs may be available to rent soon , in case there's no re-run.Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-68058144189340445732008-01-03T12:52:00.000-06:002008-01-03T12:52:00.000-06:00I must look out for a re-run of this.

I suspect that is why the USA broadcast included end placards providing details about how things turned out for certain characters, for example, what Ros decides to do about her predicament. The series did not have the viewing numbers to merit a series two, I guess. I thoroughly enjoyed it though, especially Jodhi May's performance and Janet McTeer's. <BR/><BR/>I am also curious how you read the current US American political climate and powerful women (woman). How do you think H. Clinton might fit into this feminine celestial movement you mention?<BR/><BR/>Thanks, and well wishes.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627258161566063860noreply@blogger.com
