On Mardle Fen

Mention of Trevor Peacock in a discussion in the poetry thread (Rhyme Of The Ancient Mariner)  put me in mind of an excellent series on BBC -four seasons so far - On Mardle Fen -- link belwo

Mardle Fen is indeed an "inscrutable"place and comic perspective shift from tragedy avoided to farce -- and perspectives on the Treavor Peacock character shift as well.   If you are a Great Gildersleeve fan you might enjoy series 2 episode 1 Top Dog which involves a kind of fen version of the  snifter valve.
