• 0:04
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to Cozy Comfort Club, the podcast where we talk about comfort movies,
• 0:08
  SPEAKER_00: cozy stories, and the little moments that make them memorable.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: I'm Leah, a stay-at-home mom of three,
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_00: a lifelong lover of cozy stories and someone
• 0:17
  SPEAKER_00: who can spend way too much time thinking about fictional characters
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_00: and why they make the choices they do.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_00: If you enjoy cozy mysteries, period dramas, character-driven stories,
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_00: and Comfort TV, you are definitely in the right place.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: Here, I talk about how stories feel, I share what worked, what didn't,
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: and even the moments that made me side-eye a character,
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_00: all so you know it was worth adding to your watch list.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_00: Happy Tuesday, friends.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: So I have a question for you.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: What do you put on when you've had just one of those days and you just want
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: to tune out the rest of the world for a little while?
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: For me, sometimes it's a show I know so well that I feel better as soon as I hear
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: the theme song.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: Other times, I just want to get my crochet hook out and spend an hour trying
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: to figure out who did it.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: Now this week we're talking about British TV for when you need comfort.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: And yes, we're getting all the cozy pics this week.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: Although knowing me, there's still going to be a little murder.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: So I've got six picks for you, two each from PBS Masterpiece, BritBox, and Acorn TV.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: And I went back to a few old favorites.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: I watched a Jane Austen adaptation that had me talking to the screen.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: And then finally, I finished a series that I started back in August.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_00: And so we're going to take a little detour to New Zealand
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: because sometimes you just need to see the ocean too while you're solving a murder.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: So get comfy, friends.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: We're starting at Skeldal House.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: And you already know I'm not going to skip the theme song.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: So a few light spoilers for season four of All Creatures Great and Small.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: Tristan is away at war this season.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: I really missed him.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: He's one of my favorite characters.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: And you notice how much comedic relief he brings to Skeldale House once he's gone.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: So we get some new faces at the practice and there's the uncertainty
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: of whether James will get his papers or not.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: So you can feel how much everybody really misses Tristan,
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: even when they're just going about their day.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I did cry a lot this season.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: My husband has deployed before,
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: and I know what it's like to go about your day while part
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: of you is wondering how your loved one is doing.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that's why I paid so much attention to the dynamic between Helen and Mrs. Hall.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: So to me, this is the first season where we really see them lean on each other.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: And sometimes they barely have anything to say,
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: but you could just tell one of them knows the other is having a hard day.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: And there's still so much to look forward to when you go back to Darabee.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: I love seeing the artisans, the other local families and the farmers.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: Even the theme song does it for me.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: I don't skip it because the second that I hear it, I'm right back at Skeldale House.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: And then you get to episode seven.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: That's the Christmas special.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: And they add all of those little Christmas bells to the theme
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: and the decorations are there and the snow.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, yeah, I'm exactly where I want to be.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that's what comforts me about this season in particular,
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: even with the war going on and all that waiting and all that worrying.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: Darabee still feels like Darabee.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: There are animals to look after, farmers to check in on,
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: and a kettle to put on when somebody comes through the door.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: And sometimes when there's nothing you can say to make someone's worries go away,
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: having another person sit with you over a cup of tea is enough to get you just
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: through the next few hours, through the next few minutes, whatever you need.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: And that's the kind of comfort that I go back to All Creatures Great and Small for.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, moving on, I have my BritBox pick.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: It is the 1995 version of Persuasion.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: Now, there's a reason this one is so well-loved.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I love a good second-chance romance, okay?
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: And Amanda Root is so good as Anne Elliot.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: Now, Anne doesn't always get the chance to say what she's feeling,
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: but you can see it all over her face.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: The longing, the sadness, the little bit of hope.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: And then the second she thinks...
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: Well, maybe I shouldn't be getting my hopes up.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_00: Everything changes and she's just so wonderful as Anne.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: And so we're in early 19th century England and Anne's father, Sir Walter,
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: has spent so much of his money that the family can't really afford to keep living
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: at Kellynch Hall.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: He agrees to move to Bath, and then they rent the house out to Admiral Croft and his wife.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: And guess who Mrs. Croft's brother is?
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: It's Captain Frederick Wentworth, played by Karen Hines.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: Of all the people who could rent the house, it is him.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: And eight years earlier, Anne and Wentworth were engaged, but Lady Russell,
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: someone that Anne trusted, persuaded her to break it off
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: because he didn't have much money.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: Or not much in the way of prospects.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: And now he's done well for himself in the Navy and, of course,
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_00: they're in the same circles again.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: Now Anne's only 27 and people are already acting like her chances
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: of getting married are behind her on top
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: of that she's watching someone else move Now,
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_00: I spent so much of this movie waiting for everyone
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: to stop interrupting Anne long enough for her to say what she really wanted.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: And at some point, I wanted her to shout it from the roof.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: And every time someone brought up another potential match for her or for Wentworth,
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, can we please just get these people out of the way just for a minute,
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: okay? And this is a classic Jane Austen adaptation.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: For me, they're already Comfort Watches.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: There's something about knowing the story and then still getting impatient
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_00: for these two to just talk to each other.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's a slow burn.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: It's perfect for an autumn evening.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: And I really do love the idea that even after all these years,
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: you might still get another chance to say what you wanted to say the first time.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: And of course, the acting. Hands down.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_00: For me, this is probably in my top three Jane Austen adaptations ever.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: All right, my Acorn TV pick is Blue Murder Motel.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: I started this one back in August.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: I'd never made it past episode four because, of course,
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: I was watching a million other things,
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_00: but I already knew this one had some of the best vibes.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: And preparing for this episode really gave me an excuse or gave me
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: the excuse I needed to go back and finish it.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_00: So this pick is actually from New Zealand, not British, but from New Zealand.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_00: But you can, like I said, you can find it on Acorn.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: Now, Vinny and Cole are married detectives,
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: Who retired from the police in Australia and moved to a seaside town in New Zealand
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: to run a motel.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: That's called Blue Motel.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: But we call it Blue Murder Motel.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: Now they think they're leaving police work behind and then a dead body turns up
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_00: in one of the rooms. So much for the retirement.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: They end up helping the local constable, Jamie Hara.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: I think that's Hara.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: They pronounce it a certain way, but I think it's Hara.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: And before long, they're solving murders again.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes you want a little getaway, right?
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: You want to see some ocean waves and solve a murder from a motel that has a terrible reputation.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: Now, when I first started watching, I thought the music was way too loud sometimes.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if I got used to it or if they adjusted the sound as the episodes went on.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: But by the end, I was really enjoying the music,
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: especially that little jukebox that they have in the motel.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: And I love Vinny and Cole together.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: They have great banter.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: They're a cute married couple.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: And I swear they do half their detective work during pillow talk.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: Like, are y'all ever going to go to sleep?
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: Are y'all going to get up and actually try to solve that murder?
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, they do, but I'm just joking.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_00: I also think this is a great ensemble cast.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: You've got Saffron, Maxine, and after a while,
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: you look forward to seeing what everybody's up to.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: Now, the mysteries are never boring. Not to me.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_00: There was one about a cat and a pigeon that I didn't really like.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: I thought that was silly.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: But anyway, are they going to be the best mysteries you've ever seen? No.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_00: But are you going to be entertained?
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: There's also a bigger mystery running through the season about Vinny and Cole's past
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: and how they ended up here.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: So you have something to keep you curious between cases.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_00: And just a quick heads up, there is some language and some sexual content here and there.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: And good news, Blue Murder Motel has been renewed for a second season,
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: and I'm hoping Acorn TV picks that one up too,
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_00: because I'd really love another little trip to this motel.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: And one of my favorite things that I learned about the show is
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: that Lucy Lawless directed some of the episodes.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: And yes, you heard that right.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_00: Xena, Warrior Princess. Remember her?
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: She also plays Alexa in My Life is Murder, which we'll be chatting about in just a minute.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_00: But for me, the comfort is really how light I feel when I'm watching this series.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: The scenery is gorgeous.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: The show doesn't take itself too seriously.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: And I like watching Vinny and Cole help Jamie find his footing.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_00: And I can see people of different generations having fun with this one.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_00: Not just one generation. I think everybody can enjoy it.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_00: So if you want a little escape, some music with a bit more energy,
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_00: and a married couple who can solve a murder without even getting out of the bed,
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: they do. I'm just joking.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: But they do, like I said, they do a lot of pillow talk.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: This is the one that I'd put on.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: Now speaking of Lucy Lawless, my first single episode pick is My Life is Murder,
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_00: Season 3, Episode 7.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: It's called Breaking Bread on Acorn TV.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: If you don't mind watching your mysteries out of order,
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_00: or if you're looking for a good one to So here's the setup.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: You have two bakers who used to be married.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_00: They're now rivals.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_00: And when one of their partners turns up dead, Alexa gets pulled into the case.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: And of all the things that could help her figure out what happened, one of the clues is flour.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_00: Now, for my Hannah Swinson fans over on Hallmark,
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: or if you just love a culinary mystery, this one is for you, okay?
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: Between the bread and the sourdough and the Portuguese tarts,
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_00: you're either going to want to run to your local bakery or you're going to want
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: to get in the kitchen yourself.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_00: And guess who else you'll see?
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: Martin Henderson, yes, the one who plays Jack on Virgin River.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_00: He plays Alexa's brother here.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: Also, if you've never seen My Life is Murder, this show is very colorful.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_00: And I mean, the clothes, the decor, everything.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: I love looking at it, but as someone who gets severe migraines, I notice how vivid it is.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're sensitive to that, I just want to give you a little FYI.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: Now, what I love about Alexa is that she makes detective work look really casual.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_00: So she'll just be chatting with somebody and they're just like catching up
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: and then she'll pick up on one little detail and then she's like, hold up,
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_00: wait a minute.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: She's funny even when things get really serious and I love watching her.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_00: Her, too, with Madison and Beth.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, the whole cast is really part of the fun.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_00: And like Blue Murder Motel, this gives me that New Zealand getaway feeling.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_00: You've got the waterfront, the bakery robbery,
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_00: and a mystery that keeps you really entertained without it being too heavy.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_00: And I definitely put this one on when I want a case that I can finish in one sitting
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_00: and then an excuse to also go get myself a pastry.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: Now, my PBS Masterpiece episode pick is Grantchester Season 1, Episode 3.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_00: And the mystery is, who wanted Daisy Livingston dead?
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_00: Now, before she dies, she tells Sydney
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: that she thinks her daughter's fiancé is trying to do her in. Is she right?
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: We don't know. Could it be someone else in the family?
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_00: That's what we're trying to figure out.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_00: Now, there are a lot of moving parts in this one.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_00: You've still got the Sidney and Amanda storyline going.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: You can follow the case on its own, but if you've never watched Grantchester,
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: I'd definitely start at the beginning.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_00: You're only two episodes away anyway, so why not?
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_00: Now, the main reason I picked this episode is
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_00: that we meet my favorite Grantchester character, Leonard Finch, played by Al Weaver.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_00: He is such a fish out of water when he gets to the vicarage.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: He's trying to find his footing.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: He has a sermon to give, and he even sees a dead body for the first So there's
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: a lot going on for Leonard in this episode.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I liked watching Sidney encourage him to spend a little less time
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_00: with his books and a little more time getting to know the people in the parish.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: And then Leonard says, I like books.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: They're so much less terrifying than people.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, oh. I agree, Leonard.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: I really do. Okay.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: And it was comforting just to see him for the first time again.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_00: And I like that we get to see another side of what Sidney and Leonard do.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_00: So obviously part of their job as priests is to sit with people who are having
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_00: a hard time and trying And then you've got Mrs.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: McGuire who always has something to say.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_00: The number of times that she calls somebody a rotten apple or said they were rotten
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_00: to the core had me laughing.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I do love James Norton as Sidney.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: Is he an alcoholic? Yeah, he is.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_00: Is he a womanizer? Yes, he is.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: And all the while, he's a priest, but we love him.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, he's flawed, but he is the reason why most of these cases are solved.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_00: But Jordy in season one, I could not stand him.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: The way that he talked to women got under my skin and that ego.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_00: He just really bothered me. But anyway.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: I say that as someone who thinks Geordi is a wonderful character, by the way.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_00: And Robson Green is a phenomenal actor.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_00: He plays him so well that I was getting annoyed all over again on a rewatch.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: The mystery itself is dark, but between the village and the architecture,
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_00: Dickens the dog, everybody at the Vicarage, I always enjoy being in Grantchester.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's one of those shows where I came for James Norton, but I stayed for the whole cast.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: And even when Sidney leaves and we meet Will Davenport, played by Tom Brittany,
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: there are still people I want to come back and spend time with.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: Now, my BritBox episode pick is Rosemary and Time, Season 1, Episode 3, The Language of Flowers.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_00: If you've never watched this show,
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_00: you'll get a feel for Rosemary Boxer and Laura Time pretty quickly.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_00: Rosemary is the more studious one.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: She wants to know exactly what's growing.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: Laura strikes me as more practical and direct in this episode.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: She's good at reading people and asking the question that everybody else is dancing around.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_00: They're a little yin and yang and it works, right?
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_00: And in this one, they're hired to restrain.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_00: And a book called The Language of Flowers helps them uncover some old family secrets
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_00: at the place where they're hired.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_00: And you've got a will, you have some jewelry, you have a little infidelity,
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_00: all the things that usually come with the
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_00: Now, my favorite part was trying to figure out what the flowers around the dell were saying.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: Secret messages in somebody's garden is so clever.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_00: Rosemary had me ready to walk past somebody's flower bed and then try to figure out
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_00: who they're sending a message to.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't even pay attention to that kind of stuff, but it was good.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_00: And I also like that we got a little bit more of Laura's story.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_00: So she's dealing with a separation.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_00: She's figuring out what Going back to work looks like after being
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_00: a stay -at -home parent.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_00: I like seeing her and Rosemary open up to each other and talk about what's going
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: on in their lives while they're doing the gardening and then solving the mystery,
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_00: and you get a sense of why these two are good for each other.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: Now this is one I'd put on when I want my whole body to go into relaxation mode,
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_00: but I still want a good mystery to think
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: about because the gardening makes it feel like the ultimate cozy mystery to me.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: You get to spend time, obviously, in a beautiful garden with two friends.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_00: What's better than that?
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_00: And then there's still a well-written mystery with enough going on to keep you guessing.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_00: So you don't have to give up one to get the other.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_00: Well, friends, if you're trying to decide which one to put on tonight, here's what I'd do.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: If you want some familiar company, go back to Skeldale House.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_00: If you need a little hope, put on Persuasion.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_00: And if you want to get comfy and solve a mystery in one sitting, I'd go with Rosemary and Thyme.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_00: I'll have a companion article up on Substack this Thursday, November 12th,
• 15:07
