Sanditon | Iconic Moments: Colbourne's Proposal

[@missmurrydesign7115]

Enchanting...

[@Holly89989]

Re-watching this a year later and I'm so pleased with Ben's delivery. Colbourne is growing in confidence enough there's even humor in his eyes. He knows they will be together because he believes so strongly in their love and his own feelings. Wonderful!

[@juliamaria2478]

this was finally the long awaited happy moment and brilliantly performed by Rose and Ben

[@irenegraham2785]

Abeautiful long awaited love story and Rose&Ben were just perfect in there part of this delightful love affair.

[@lynndenault4212]

I miss Theo.

[@jenniferward5216]

I cry each time I see this scene the love respect and that gentle kiss you know it's coming to an end. I am happy for them finding true love. But my sadness in knowing it's the end of a wonderful series with so much depth.

[@lirasolo2292]

I'm happy that Charlotte finally found her happiness! Alexander is the best choice for her♥️ Thank you for renewing the show for seasons 2 and 3, Ben is the best find of this show👏

[@elisabethleber5170]

Comme j' attendais ce moment avec impatience les voir enfin réunis et heureux après bien des tourments obstacles et quiproquos en tous genre c' était tellement romantique cette superbe déclaration d' amour a Charlotte au bord de la mer la boucle est bouclée car c' est l' endroit ou Sydney avait laissé Charlotte en plein désarroi en lui brisant le coeur mais cette fois ci ce sont des larmes de joie quant à Alexander quelle évolution quel parcours intérieur pour enfin se libérer du passé et donner libre cours à ses émotions et ses sentiments il les avait bien enfouis sous une apparence de rigidité et de froideur mais sous la glace couvait le feu et c' est la merveilleuse Charlotte si détenait. L' étincelle cette scène finale est boulversant emouvante et magnifique a l' image de rose et ben tout au long de la série comme on dit en français ils crèvent l' écran. Moi je suis comblee

[@ladyguenevere3501]

"The best find"! I totally agree. Such a wonderful actor! He made it for me! .

[@junewilson1629]

Oh and I so wished that she would have been able to marry Sidney. I liked Sidney so much better.

[@fandomking8939]

​@@junewilson1629Sidney never deserved her.

[@junewilson1629]

@@fandomking8939 Oh I don't know about that one. Don't forget he was massively gun shy after having been mistreated by that Eliza thing at-the-time-fiance of his. He must have loved her a great deal and when one does to such an extend, it's a big sting. So he took a real sour view to love and women as a direct result of that. It took time for him to see Charlotte for what and who she is. And it took some more time for him to trust what he saw and what and who Charlotte is. Once he did, he opened himself up to the possibility of love again. But then destiny interfered and his brother (numbnuts that he is) mismanaged the funds and in an effort to keep him out of debtors prison he married Eliza after all. Had Charlotte been rich to where her money would have been able to accomplish the financial dilemma it would never have been an issue. But that I honestly don't think would have been THE reason why he then would have married Charlotte, but it sure was THE reason why he didn't....COULDN'T.....

[@sofiv2785]

One of the most emotional, beautiful and heartful that I ever seen, a dream indeed😍😍😍

[@susivarga7303]

Never knew English wind can be this sexy...

[@LeySidle]

Everything was so beautiful and delicate. Rose and Ben have an incredible chemistry! They're so emotional and happy. Both of Colbourne's declarations were perfect (make a life with me 😢) but the "fathomless " is what tugs to my heart here. Well done, PBS! This season was magical! ❤

[@Aunt3Sally]

I think they're fabulous together too, and wish PBS/Masterpiece would pair them as Georgie and Darcy, Rhys Bowen's characters from her Royal Spyness Mysteries.

[@mtaunga]

Thank you! Lovely ending! Colbourne found his words!!

[@toby986]

Bravo Masterpiece PBS! What a beautiful story that was a delight to watch! Finally Charlotte Hayward (so gorgeously bought to life by the talented Rose Williams) has her happily ever after with the love of her life. Love Colbourne's confession. Congratulations to all involved!

[@itwasnaeme1767]

I can't tell you how many times I cried at this scene. Was so beautiful

[@lindescallejas-diaz681]

This moment is just superb as Mr Darcy in Pride and Prejudice...beautiful lines said in a stunning setting. Just perfection

[@1ofSevensisters]

Beautiful!!!! I don't want it to be over. Ben Lloyd-Hughes was the perfect choice to play Colbourne. This entire story is so very Austen even with the change oft male leads. Colbourne is a much better match for Charlotte (Rose Williams) and their story together so much more compelling. If you even to decide to visit Sanditon again, I wouldn't mind the story of Augusta and her road to finding happiness!

[@soniaflores5761]

Yes, Xander! Finally!

[@lisatietjen6264]

So many of the Sanditon fans are begging for a season 4. However, I would recommend running your own scenarios in your head like I've been doing ever since I discovered romance novels at age 12. I like to imagine how everyone reacted at Heyrick Park when Mr. Colbourne brought Charlotte home with him that afternoon, or how they broke the happy news to the Parkers, or how Lady Montrose found out he was no longer a marriage option for Lady Lydia. It is endlessly entertaining and I have rarely had insomnia, as it always helps me drift off to sleep happily.

[@MusicMuse83]

Masterpiece, Please give the cast of Sanditon more work in future productions! The actors were fantastic! Love Ben Lloyd-Hughes and Rose Williams, but really the whole cast was superb!

[@Fatherdowling]

So perfect. Finally they’re both at the right place and right time together. And fathomless… I die.

[@annmarie3520]

Wish it wasn’t over! I would love more seasons to follow the lives of all the characters!❤

[@TropicalPassionFruit]

Thanks Masterpiece PBS! I think all of our hearts broke at the end of season 1. This ending was healing! Would love if there was a “Colbournes” spin off or a movie now and then, so We can see Augusta get married and watch Leo grow up into adulthood. Thanks again for bringing S2 &S3! Very well done!!!

[@shahnazpersian330]

Yes, please do a spin off... We would be overjoyed, and this messed up world would be so much more tolerable knowing that we had someplace amazing to escape to one hour a week.

[@lanadellhatestheclock3325]

Great idea!

[@susanwelch969]

4th series please! These actors & actresses are awesome in their craft, Drew me right in with their love!

[@megchesney3492]

Thank you for making this video! I am overjoyed that Charlotte and Xander's story has come to an end with happiness! Congratulations to the entire cast, crew, and production. Finally, thank you to Rose and Ben for developing fantastic storylines for characters from writing to screen. Everyone should find their true love, regardless of the hardships they may experience, and also comprehend what world Jane Austen influenced, with the Charlotte and Georgina tale being great. Thank you again to Masterpiece PBS for an incredible two seasons. Many of us were curious about what happened to Charlotte and Xander throughout their marriage, but this show teaches that love can be unexpected and overcoming regardless of the outcome. Thank you, Masterpiece PBS cast, crew, and production, for this fantastic show. Rose and Ben, we just wanted to say thank you for making Happy Ending and Fairytales in Sanditon memorable.

[@LisetteMurphy]

The song is beautiful. It is called unfolding beauty. It’s a perfect song for both of them are unfolding ❤

[@monuquefreeman5723]

Thank you to everyone that took part in Sanditon all 3 seasons. I enjoyed everything about each season and though I'm upset to see it end, I'm so happy for Charlotte. I do hope PBS will allow for a movie.

[@sanditonjaustin9250]

Pretty clever move... Final scene on the cliff. Before that, Charlotte says goodbye to the Parker family, gets into the carriage, sad. The carriage stops because of the man on the black horse (everything reminds of the end scene of season 1). But, this time the man doesn't say goodbye, he confesses his love. Also the passionate words that are quite reminiscent of Pride and Prejudice end scene. Yes, pretty clever...

[@elainekeierleber8922]

The best love story i have ever seen so natural ❤😊

[@amritawhitman8112]

As we know Justin Young recently said in an interview that a Season 4 will never happen. Most likely, at least in part, that's because during his interviews last year he explained he and the other writers were, out of respect for Austen's work, committed to ending their Austen-inspired series the way Jane Austen ended all of her books, with a HEA (happy ever after) wedding. However, this is 2023 and rarely have we seen two actors create this kind of love story with so much genuine heart and chemistry as Rose Williams and Ben Lloyd-Hughes did! I find it hard to imagine Masterpiece PBS would happily walk away from funding a Season 4. Fans like me of the Outlander and Poldark series know that even though those TV series have highly adaptable books to work from, what made those TV series so successful and profitable, is not just the writing and the quality of the productions, but most importantly, the romantic chemistry and acting talents of their two leading actors! While it's very difficult to create a period drama without having a series of books to work from, Sanditon's writers proved there's no shortage of historical figures and events of the 19th century to inspire several more episodes. Only time will tell if there are enough fans who love Sanditon enough to want to see a Season 4 or a spin-off. BTW, Miss Scarlet and The Duke, another original period drama that also depends on the chemistry and relationship of it's two leading actors will be back for a 4th season of 6 episodes, so anything should be possible for Sanditon!

[@shahnazpersian330]

Thank you for the informative and well-written post. Believe me, there are enough fans who wants this to continue. As I suggested, a few weeks ago, all they have to do is to put out a call to the fans to each donate a few dollars, and that would be enough to finance more episodes and keep this going. In return, Masterpiece, can do a drawing and fly 10 fans over to the set for each episode to be extras. I think it's a brilliant idea if I may say so :)

[@amritawhitman8112]

@@shahnazpersian330 Thank you for your kind words! I almost didn't post it because my comment was so long. You have some great ideas! Since the day I wrote that I came across Masterpiece PBS's press release in which they said there definitely WILL NOT be a Season 4. So they have closed the door on that idea forever. The Sanditon Sisterhood who so effectively organized the campaign after the series was canceled shared that announcement and support it.

I certainly agree with all the comments that feel this wonderful show should get a fourth season or movie. There is so much more to say and these actors, Rose and Ben, are so great in developing their romance with so much chemistry. Masterpiece/PBS, you really need to consider more Sandition!

[@um8351]

Congratulations!! 🎉 It is beautifully done. Thank you, PBS!! I hope you will continue, as many characters are yet to unfold. I hope PBS, producers, crew, actors, writers, and everyone involved will consider doing a movie!

[@amritawhitman8112]

I watched on PBS Passport and on my copy of the Blu-Ray DVD and I like this version better. Thank you!

Can you tell what the difference was?

[@amritawhitman8112]

@ When you say you "have" this version, what do you mean? I watched the DVD again and it's the same as the broadcast version, not this one.

@@amritawhitman8112 I have the same as yours actually. I agree about the horses sounds, I wish they had kept them and put the audio track louder at the beginning of the scene. I love the sound of the cello so I prefer that one over the piano when they talk. It's like a 50-50 for me with the changes.

[@amritawhitman8112]

@ I prefer the piano version while they're talking because it helped to make the scene more intimate. While in the official version it seems they are competing with the music for our attention. I know Masterpiece never does it but I wish, since they won't give us a Season 4, they would release a DVD set that includes deleted scenes and different versions of scenes like this one.

@@amritawhitman8112 I have been looking for the deleted scenes for s2 and s3 for a while. Would love an extended set

Such echoes of Pride and Prejudice...you can almost hear the echoes of Mr. Darcy saying "You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love you" and then at the resolution at the end of the book, ."My intentions and affections have not changed,,," and Colbourne's haven't either!

It's incredible that Xander had to try 3x to win Charlotte back after that incredibly cold dismissal. BLH said in one interview that he felt Xander was going to ask Charlotte to marry him when he came to Trafalgar House to apologize. Even if he had, I think Charlotte would've refused him; she was that angry and hurt. In another post somewhere, someone figured out that the timeline was about a year between the hiring of Charlotte (1820) and their wedding (1821). Interesting. I can't enough of this series. All the characters were perfectly cast. It would be nice to dream that there could be a movie, but.......there'd be more interesting stories about the other character outcomes (Augusta, Susan/Samuel, Arthur/Harry, Lydia/secret beau, Georgiana/Otis, etc.) then Xander and Charlotte's married life.
