On The Box This Week

Warning-TV Spoilers Ahead!

I am not sure why but I have found this season of Poldark lacking. I can't put my finger on it but I haven't found this season as enjoyable as last year. One think I really am disliking is the huge time jumps! Like how Ross and Demelza's son Jeremy was born two episodes ago yet we only found out his name in this episode and now he looks around two years old!
The relationship between Ross and Demelza has been very rocky all season but last week we saw them still passionately in love, in quite a racy scene (which I loved) this week they where back at logger heads. Demelza has been set against Ross having any part in smuggling goods, this week that storyline came to ahead. I don't know how Ross gets away with things but after being ambushed by the law, he tells his friends that he is done with the copper mine and that he will now live a quiet life with his wife and son....that is if he gets away with smuggling! Yet with George Warleggan sniffing around the newly widowed Elizabeth I doubt Ross will be happy with a quiet life as we all know Ross Poldark can be a law onto himself!

This series has been called Downton Abbey in Egypt after one episode by the critics!
I didn't see Tutankhamun like that not alot happened in episode one to be honest! It opens in 1905 when Dr Carter gets struck off for punching a French Duke! A few years later Dr Carter played by Max Irons is still on digs in Egypt but yearning for his own big discovery when very rich Lord Carnarvon played by Sam Neil discovers him and asks him to help on his dig.
Most of the current Americans and English are leaving Egypt due to the unrest in Europe, giving Carter his chance to dig for Tutankhamun lost tomb.
There is also the premise for a good love story with American Maggie an Egyptolist from the Met who is clearly mad about Carter but he is more interested in the dead women around him, although she does get her man before she leaves! There is also Carnarvon's daughter Evelyn while nothing is stated about how she feels about Carter it does feels like something might happen there in later episodes.
Just are Dr Carter and Lord Carnarvon's dig is about to begin World War 1 breaks out and the whole thing is put on hold for four year or next week in our case!

Semi-finals and once again it was Mel and Sue who made this show for me. I just love there quirky and sometimes cheesy but always funny delivery. I loved how Selasi was looking for Mary, Mel and Sue's jobs and he might even get them now!! Selasi sass was on point tonight! Andrew didn't seem like he was enjoying himself this week think the stress got to him! Sue towelling down Selasi was the envy of alot of women watching! Candice felted the pressure and took to calling herself CB! Andrew won Star Baker and Selasi was sent home! We will miss him but he was jut outclassed this week. So it's Andrew, Jane and Candice in the finale!
