The Madame Blanc Mysteries - Christmas Special - Dec 24, 2024

Well Hello! I'm back! Got a "Black Friday" special price on the Acorn channel and am back in business watching Madame Blanc!

Early on in this Christmas episode while the characters are preparing for the festivities, a local puppeteer is mysteriously murdered while giving a show for kids by the beach. So Jean is called and must drop everything to unravel THAT mystery.

Meanwhile, Jeremy and Judith have been given a rather silly side story, in my opinion. They each have been told by their own friends that the priest who had married them 30 years ago hadn't been a real priest and therefore their marriage isn't valid. (Could that actually happen? Wouldn't it have been registered as legal and wouldn't there be paperwork saying they were married?)

Anyway, we see them try to hide the news from each other to avoid upset, but it comes out and they must deal with it.

Judith's main concern is that Jeremy wouldn't WANT to marry her again, but he sets her straight:

Culminating in a happy Christmas wedding!

My Time Capsule Podcast - ep 349 - January 7, 2024

Just popping in to share the link to an episode of a podcast Robin was on! As usual, I found out about it over a year after it aired, but here it is, for anyone else that was unaware.
My Time Capsule Podcast - Episode 349

I listen to a lot of podcasts in general lately, and was happy to find one I'd not known about. Loved listening to Robin chat about his career and joke around. I learned a few new stories. It was cute to hear him talk about how he had to practically jump through hoops to get his part on "Madame Blanc" when he was used to just being handed roles in his younger years. Ha, and now look, he really is the most popular character on the show! The theme of guests picking items they would like to put in a time capsule was pretty interesting, too...a sort of fun little thing to do that's different. Gets the guests thinking, rather than staying in "interview mode"!
