Fantastic episode! Verity, Demelza and Elizabeth were AMESOME! Oh and the grand-aunt too! :3

I do love having Aunt Agatha in it properly, I have to say. :-)

Right? I don't remember her in the first adaptation. Now, of coruse, I watched it years ago...

She was in it, but only in S2. They did one of their leaps from the book in burning down Trenwith at the end of S1, so presumably the implication was that she'd been living in the other house and the rest of them joined her, I think, but it was a noticeable omission & it's lovely that this version has her properly!

One thing that distracted me during this episode was that Jinny's baby looked about the same age as Demelza's Julia - yet Jinny had already had that baby before Demelza even married Ross, never mind fell pregnant, so the Carter baby should be a good year older, at least, and toddling around already. Continuity fail!

We haven't even been told whether Jinny's baby is a boy or girl - and can't go by the books for that one, as in the book Jinny was onto her third when Jim was arrested, so the show baby could be any one of the three!

Ha, maybe it's secretly baby #2? No, that doesn't work either... ;-)

Probably going to be Benjamin, like the 1975, which also had Jinny with only one child (though they mention she'd lost one previously, one of their random moments of making things worse for the characters).
