Lucy Worsley Holmes vs Doyle

[XanaDUer2]

Anybody watching this excellent series? She also covered Agatha Christie. She's a wonderful historian.

1. Doyles The Lost World

Inspired jurassic park who knew?

2. I wanted to like the series, but I found her manner extremely off-putting.

My loss for being so judgmental, I suppose.

3. Sometimes she dresses up in

Historic costumes. That's a little weird.

5. I haven't watched it,

but I suspect she has some mannerism - I couldn't guess what - that reminds you of someone you couldn't stand, possibly as long ago as childhood.

8. Good point - that's usually what it is.

I looked for that (I'm a retired shrink), but all I could come up with was how exaggerated her mannerisms were. She's not natural in front of the camera, but gets herself all pumped up for show. Which I guess is what TV presenters do. I'll keeping mulling it over, though, and see what else comes up. Thanks for the suggestion.

4. Watched the first two segments and will catch the third on Tuesday

CBS ball games dominate this time slot, at least in Central time.

6. She has such a cool job.

7. Just Finished

It was well done and informative. I never understood Doyle’s fascination with spiritualism I have a greater understanding now.

9. I love Lucy!

I've seen lots of her shows, and have two of her books: "The Art of the English Murder," and "If Walls Could Talk, An Intimate History of the Home." Fascinating stuff!
