I love the BBC series Monarch of the Glen, mostly because of the crazy, sweet, adorable, confused cook named Lexie. I think she's a lot like me in reality - crazy amidst insecurity, kind but selfish, off-balance yet confident, funny amidst sadness. She is everyone's best friend, true to the end, anxiously working towards happy endings for all - yet frequently denied the few things in life that she needs to be happy.
I found this link to clips of Lexie at her best. Some of them are frighteningly scary in the memories they provoke for me. And yet I love her. She's one of the most complex characters on TV - which is why the BBC is her home.

Cheese and crackers, Demosthenes - are you interested in a monkey and a mulberry bush to go with that "weasel?"
I thought I was good at backpedaling. I don't even qualify as an amateur compared to you.
(sorry, couldn't resist)
And unfortunately, when I try to load clips all I see is "Waiting for www.bbc.co.uk..." :-(
Guess I'll try again later.
Hi, Glo! ...Weekend?
I know. A weekend post. Unexpected and unusual. I'm trying to change things up a bit.
RaJ - you are hilarious. Dem is a bit blindsighted by the idea that my "hair" has a life of its own, I think :) And Dem - I'm so shocked you guessed one reason why Lexie and i are so similar!
I LOVE this show! I use to watch it all the time when it was on Sunday nights on PBS...'course I love the BBC...I'm thinking of getting cable (or whatever) just for everything British.
