More's the pity that The Darling Buds Of May is only a so-so series. It may be that the book sets every sense singing, particularly touch, taste and smell, while TV rations us to two. I did smell new baked bread on TV once but that [must] have been a magical production. You can say this for The Darling Buds Of May, nobody gets murdered and that is downright unique for a Sunday.
