Now I am still really enjoying this sunny series, but I am struck by our heroine’s encyclopaedic knowledge of art, indeed any artwork regardless of genre which is involved in a crime. What exactly did she do in England? Help run their antiques shop? I would have thought she could rival Bendor Grosvenor and be on TV! She just takes one really quick glance at a painting and can decide on its authenticity. Amazing.

Yeah, I think we just have to run with it and not look too deeply. Clearly she would have had one of the best antique shops in the North West and serious links with the art and antique world, but we just have to presume she was working at antique fairs and running a little shop.

Yep. No consulting the internet or other reference resources. Plus, they should get her on Fake or Fortune, replacing Fiona Bruce - though it would be a much shorter prog once she casts her all-seeing eye over a painting. 😀
Still enjoying it.

And that app that lets you see below the outer paint layers! They don’t have that on Fake or Fortune! But yes, still enjoying it.

Yes I agree totally unrealistic but it’s lighthearted watching in a nice sunny village.

I read in a feature on this show that it is filmed in Ibiza rather than France. I think covid may have been to blame, or possibly just finances, the South of France not being the cheapest place, 😂.

I thought it didn’t look like France!

Filmed in Gozo (Malta), I read, because it looks like France but is cheaper. Apparently Malta offers incentives and a number of international productions are filmed there.

Oh sorry! I thought it said Ibiza but anyway that is where the posh guy who owns the chalet lives IRL. So filming was convenient for him!

Was that the last one!?
Can't be surely? A friend said they were leaving it on a cliff hanger, but really.

I’m confused! 1. How come she thought Dom was a widower when the whole village knew his wife was a Bolter. Surely someone would have mentioned it, and WTF was nice Dom doing, leading her on? 2. Wasn’t Barbara a local estate agent? And the whole village had seen the other Madame Blanc hadn’t they? So how come no one thought to tell Jean she was employing the bigamous wife?
And Dom, your daughter is 24, she should be able to cope! I would want to protect my Dad from her, I think.
That said, I did enjoy it a lot. I hope we get a second run.

Yes I’m surprised no one pointed out that the estate agent was the “other wife”. Maybe she kept hidden from the rest of the town.

Was it definitely the last episode?
Can only think there's no estate agent in the town and everything was online.
Nothing explains Tom? not telling her he was married, especially after telling him all about her husband. Can't actually believe nobody else mentioned it either.
