When you look around at the world do you boast it&#39;s splendors or perceive the gulf between the classes, does one look upon the wrong side of the storm? Kingdom was not a reflection of Norfolk life but a veil, underneath was a pining for human decency, blatantly, acceptance. It expelled the crudeness of modern television from it&#39;s screen&#39;s and cultivated this sense of placid acceptance before succumbing to ITV&#39;s slaughter. Well I say that&#39;s not good enough. Everyone was wrapped up in a jovial town where everyone knew everything about everybody, yet it revolved around this Mr. Peter Kingdom, before realism executed it&#39;s existence and we faced up to the real definition of this world. Well I say, that if Kingdom with all it&#39;s priceless values can&#39;t survive, what hope do we have of achieving acceptance and equity in this world? Don&#39;t ruin our hopes Mr. Steven Fry, please, let Kingdom breathe again, because we&#39;re not the only ones who strain to see a blossoming flame of reality in Kingdom, it may be without your admittance but I prevail to presume that you wished and always will for a world like Kingdom too.</p> <p>Yours humbly,<br /> Annabella </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/kingdom-1#post-276444 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 21:43:49 +0000 textiler 276444@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>If there is not to be a Season 4, &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_sad.gif&quot; title=&quot;:(&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; could you reveal the big secret of Peter&#39;s birth?? &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_rolleyes.gif&quot; title=&quot;:roll:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/found-it#post-275407 Sat, 20 Aug 2011 23:49:37 +0000 lanock46 275407@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>How wonderful that the ABC (Australia) are broadcasting this wonderful &#39;new&#39; show called Kingdom.<br /> It is a fantastic show and enjoyed by thousands of fans Down Under.</p> <p>How sad to find that it was finished before we even got to see it.<br /> At least we can rely on our ABC to repeat and repeat and repeat.<br /> So all episodes will be seen at some stage.</p> <p>Many thanks Stephen Fry for another of your entertainments. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_lol.gif&quot; title=&quot;:lol:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/kingdom-for-sale#post-191817 Fri, 09 Oct 2009 16:51:20 +0000 Grandmaster 191817@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Is there any way Kingdom could be taken up by an independant production company for onward sale to whoever.

Yes - this is the off season - Christmassy crap left right and centre but at least Kingdom is being given a real go</p> <p>I might add, I didn&#39;t know and thus missed it in favour of watching Adam and Jamie play with duck tape for an hour - yes duck - not duct! </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/kingdom-johnny#post-262577 Sat, 22 Jan 2011 19:50:11 +0000 kellsway 262577@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>As there will be no more episodes of Stephen&#39;s Kingdom, perhaps I can suggest the well-intended adventures of bloke-next-door Johnny Kingdom as a weaning-off process for those desperately addicted to the surname.He can be found somewhere on Exmoor where he has, in recent years, purchased some land, which he calls &#39;the land&#39;, on which he has set up a variety of remote cameras to observe wildlife and create documentaries. Sadly, few of these cameras appear to work, so Auntie send a real camera(man) to accompany our intrepid, retired grave-digger, Johhny towards his goal. Whatever that is. You will find Johnny Kingdom&#39;s recent three-part thinggy on Auntie&#39;s iPlayer. I declare no interest other than my undying admiration for the heroic, bumbling amateur who, presumably, can never take a hint. BBC4 didn&#39;t even show the third episode around Christmas time, although they&#39;ve recently repeated the trilogy. As they do all else! Enjoy. Rejoice. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/series-4#post-165497 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 11:22:57 +0000 Midsomerlover 165497@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ I have a feeling it will be commissioned, but indeed as Stephen said, in 2010 at the earliest. Kingdom did well so far for ITV and for the local tourism in Swaffham, I'm sure they'll bring it back next year. Watch this space. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/silly-question-which-painting-is-that#post-268845 Thu, 14 Apr 2011 08:45:03 +0000 silversand 268845@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Ok. In at least the first couple of episodes of Kingdom, there&#39;s a painting/poster that&#39;s seen first upstairs I think in his train set room/spare room once his sister moves in there, and then in the 2nd episode it appears again on the wall above the reception desk. The painting is primarily of blue sky and clouds, and it looks like there&#39;s an open field in the foreground, possibly with a silhouette of a child as well. The painting looks to be roughly 3 or 4&#39; wide and maybe 1 to 1.5&#39; tall. Anyone know the name of the painting and/or artist? I&#39;d love to get a poster or reproduction of it. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/kingdom#post-254737 Thu, 25 Nov 2010 14:50:35 +0000 fryingpan 254737@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Stephen ! Will there be more episodes of Kingdom ? It was very popular in Sweden. Ms Norris and Ms Imrie are great actors too ! Love them both. I also loved &quot;a bit of Fry &amp; Laurie&quot; &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_lol.gif&quot; title=&quot;:lol:&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; <br /> Regards Toby </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/will-there-ever-be-a-series-4#post-250797 Thu, 14 Oct 2010 14:27:28 +0000 jmb272 250797@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>I only discovered this show a few weeks back and I&#39;ve been watching them every day I just love shows like Kingdom and Doc Martin.</p> <p>The end of series 3 was a cliff hanger, ITV are mad to not commission a fourth series.</p> <p>Anyway I hope they bring it back. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/how-can-we-move-itv-to-make-the-right-decision#post-241073 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 03:16:59 +0000 vhughes 241073@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>I too stumbled across the series and was captivated. Fine writing, fine directing, brilliant acting, some of the best television in ages. Believing that the power of the people is not yet moribund (i too am a film maker and while wildlife is my specialty i recently finished a documentary on courageous dissent) even in the face of broadcasters whose bottom line isn&#39;t quality. There are so many people who know that &#39;Kingdom&#39; is television of rare quality.... how do we fight to get it back? </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/new-to-kingdom-wow#post-188577 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 08:41:18 +0000 Eigernordwand 188577@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>I've never even heard of this series before!
