So sad mark died around 10 years after Gill. Shame he and Ruth didn't last. And sweet he told Michelle make sure he is brought home when he passed but Michelle wasn't there when he died, only Pauline and Martin were. Martin's the only Fowler left. Arthur, Mark, Pauline gone, even Martin's daughter Rebecca
Maybe i've been in too many "lockdowns" over the pandemic.....but do people like at 3:55 (Arthur and Phil) really talk that close together?? They could almost kiss they were so close! I hope they were using breath mints. I think this was also common in filming in this era with the much narrower 4:3 aspect ratio. Now they have widescreen the actors can at least be a bit further apart.
I can see why Mark went off and died on his own now - as he did not want to put his family through any suffering. He was always a very private man and thiinking of others.
Michelle can never put herself in other people's shoes, especially blokes. So Michelle uses her female charms on Arthur and then resents blokes for being honest about their intentions.
