Every other sunday evening or so, the weekend's TV movie on the German National TV channel 2 is a Rosamunde Pilcher movie set in the most beautiful parts of Cornwall (with the most popular German TV actors acting as British aristocrats or countryfolk). Despite the beautiful scenery I am at a loss why millions of (older) Germans watch those TV movies because they are always the same - after x years working in London and with an unhappy marriage/partnership in tow, someone returns to his/her hometown in Cornwall, meets a new squeeze, Drama unfolds for an hour or so in beautiful gardens, on horseback, in old convertbile cars or on boats and then - happy end. The next days some watchers undoubtedly storm German travel agencies to book a summer holiday in Cornwall and end up pestering you.
