Muggins!

One of my favourite Richard Carmody and Siegfried Farnon moments in Series 5, is when they play Cribbage and Carmody says 'Muggins!' Siegfried is having none of it. (Like: 😮) The faces he pulls!

Carmody: ‘Muggins!’

Siegfried: ‘WHAT?!  To play muggins rules you must declare Muggins rules!’

Carmody: ‘Muggins rules are always in play with experienced opponents, you’ve clearly miscounted your points, you missed two!’

Siegfried: ‘I was distracted by Tristan!’ 😮

Carmody: ‘Which means they’re mine!’

*cue unimpressed look from Tristan as he surveys the scene*

Siegfried: ‘Oh, you wretch! I demand a replay!’

Carmody: ‘That’s against the rules!’

Siegfried: ‘I don’t care!’

Carmody: ‘Cheat!’

*Meanwhile Mrs Hall silently disappears to do her warden duties, leaving her boys to play*

Siegfried & Audrey | Season 5 Episode 1 worried parents // doting grandparents

[cherish--these--times]

Do not fret my fellow Siegfried x Audrey fans out there. If anything, the episode proved that Siegfried had forgotten other women even existed ever since he realised things were serious between Audrey and Gerald. These two things coincided, let's not forget. It also proves that he hates for his reputation as being habile with the ladies to be questioned or for Tristan to have one over him so he has to overcompensate. And lastly it made a point of showing us what really matters to him at the end. Not the book and therefore the potential romance with this woman, but the nurturance and care for his family. Hence why he dropped the damned thing and instead chose to go to the pub. Look at her face of disapproval when Siegfried first declined to go for a pint.

It's also very deliberate on the writers' part to have Audrey ask about said book, only for him to instantly dismiss it as a tedious read.

To me, it's obvious that it was about showing what a true pair bond looks like. Showing Audrey dutifully listening to Siegfried's concerns, offering advice which he immediately finds enlightening and useful? And both of them listening in on Richard's conversation over the phone with matching looks of fondness on their face? What was it that Carmody said? Ah yes:

"Humans generally thrive in pair bonds".

It is not as overt as what we are used to seeing certainly, but that's what makes this show so delicious. It's all in the little things. The nuances and the unsaid which define human relationships. It's closer to life. In fact, Siegfried phrased it perfectly to Carmody:

"There is a pace at which these things are done. A subtlety."

Also, an episode called Pair Bond and this is how these two are framed in the shot?? HELLO!!

I think the context is also important to remember. She's his employee. It would have been considered outrageously scandalous within the local community, I assume, for a gentleman and his housekeeper to have a romantic relationship. I think Siegfried knows precisely what gem he has under his roof, and also that the last thing he wants is to bring shame and potential ruin on such a pious, saintly woman. He won't allow himself to go there.

It will take something even more Earth-shattering than her potential departure for him to finally acknowledge that he fancies the pants off of her. With the implicit fallout that he will inevitably have to face. I can't wait.

All Creatures Great and Small Series 5

[edandstede]

tristan is really such a light in the show, i’m so delighted he’s back, and i also adore the way he further highlights the bond siegfried and audrey share.

the dread audrey felt when the telegram arrived, the shared emotion when she handed it over and the way she couldn’t bear to be far away while siegfried read it; their strong and fierce love for that boy unites them in such a personal way.

when she asked if siegfried wanted her to accompany him to the station to meet tristan, his face melted for a second before he kindly declined. he knows she’s there to lean on, to support him, and he truly couldn’t be more grateful for her as always. and then siegfried stood in the doorway watching tristan and audrey embrace, his family reunited again.

nobody else besides their parents or evelyn could really share in that worry and that love that they both have for tris, and i’m glad he has a mother figure in mrs hall. over the years she’s been at skeldale, it’s never been more apparent that she is so, so much more than their housekeeper.

[grinchwrapsupreme]

his brain is degrading without tristan there to be smarter than there's no other explanation

[felicitykings]

I will never utter a cross word to that boy again if he comes home in one piece.

“Did they throw you out?”

“It was quite the scandal. ”

“How many times did you fall in love?”

“Oh, just once. Laila. My Arabian camel. She was exotic, feisty. She did have a tendency to get the hump, though.”
