Hornblower: The Frogs and the Lobsters

Again Hornblower doesn’t get a chance to get his sea feet and spends most of this episode on dry land. Although I still don’t understand why set an seafaring adventure series on dry land, what can you do? But in fact, this time round it seemed a little less mundane than last episode, and so the biggest problem is Gruffudd’s heartbreaking weeping. It made me laugh so hard, that it ended in tears.
