THE BUCCANEERS Season Premiere Recap: (S02E01) The Duchess of Tintagel
The Buccaneers Season 2 Episode 1, 'The Duchess of Tintagel,' picks up where the Season 1 finale left off. It's a strong start to the season that answers a few questions, ties a couple of loose ends and presents new narrative threads. In true show fashion, it's delightfully messy and chock-full of delicious d-r-a-m-a. Sure, the dialogue is corny. But I wouldn't have it any other way. RELATED: Read our recap of The Buccaneers Season 2 finale, 'Wedding of the Season' The Buccaneers, 'The Duchess of Tintagel' We open with Nan (Kristine Frøseth) and Theo (Guy Remmers) emerging from the church after tying the knot. Patti (Christina Hendricks) and Tracy (Adam James) are in a panic, having learned that Nan's biological mother is there. They told Nan she was dead, but, you know, she's not. Meanwhile, Guy (Matthew Broome) and Jinny (Imogen Waterhouse) are in the carriage, putting as much distance between Jinny and the abusive POS Seadown as possible. THE BUCCANEERS Season 2 Episode 1, 'The Duchess of Tintagel' — Photo courtesy of Apple TV+ Patti barrels into the reception to find Nell (Leighton Meester), aka Nan's bio mom. You can cut the tension with a knife. Patti urges Nell to meet her outside so they can talk. Elsewhere, Nan, like Patti, is also in panic mode. Conchita (Alisha Boe) comforts her friend. She reassures Nan that she did the right thing, sending Jinny away. They're soon joined by the Elmsworth sisters, Lizzy (Aubri Ibrag) and Mabel (Josie Totah). Our four Buccaneers hold hands as they forge ahead, making a beeline for the wedding reception. The Truth Inside the party, Nan locks eyes with Theo. However, instead of approaching her new husband, she flees. Outside, Nan bursts into tears. It's all too much — the secret of helping Jinny escape, her love for Guy. The Dowager Duchess of Tintagel (Amelia Bullmore) finds Nan among the trees. She reveals that attendees are asking why the bride is MIA. Nan claims she can't live a lie. She must tell Theo the truth about Jinny. RELATED: 10 Questions We Need Answered in The Buccaneers Season 2 The Dowager reminds Nan about their arrangement. She vowed to protect Jinny in exchange for Nan marrying her son. Oh, and she wouldn't disclose Nan's infidelity to Theo, or with whom Nan was in bed. What a thing to hold over someone's head. The Dowager urges Nan to get back to the reception and perform her duchess duties. Meanwhile, Theo asks Lizzy if she's seen Nan. Is it just me, or is there chemistry between these two? I see something brewing. Anyway, Lizzy glances at a man named Hector Robinson (Jacob Ifan), and they get their silent flirt on. Theo tells Lizzy about Hector, playing the matchmaker. We've Had Fun Elsewhere, Lord and Lady Brightlingsea (Anthony Calf and Fenella Woolgar) break away from the wedding party for a spell. Lord Brightlingsea not-so-subtly hints at his desire for some sexy times. However, we know he's terminally ill, and at this moment, he's struck by a wave of weakness. He decides to lie down instead. Lady Brightlingsea cries once he leaves the room. RELATED: 7 Questions We'll Never Get Answered in The Great Season 4 Later, Mabel and Honoria (Mia Threapleton) share a dance outside. Mabel apologizes for Honoria's sick father. They chat about Mabel dropping everything to be with Honoria. She cast aside an engagement for true love. I hope nothing tears these two apart. THE BUCCANEERS Season 2 Episode 1, 'The Duchess of Tintagel' — Photo courtesy of Apple TV+ Next, Patti introduces Nan to Nell, claiming the latter is the former's aunt. Nell just hasn't been involved with the family for, well, 19 years. Nell and Nan reunite outside during one of Nan's panic attacks. She tells who she believes is her aunt about the Jinny situation. Nan didn't marry for love. Nell essentially advises Nan to accept her situation and move forward. This is the bed she's made. Nan must lie in it. Plus, Jinny is safe now, and Theo loves Nan. Sex on the Beach Then, Theo finds Nan with Nell. The newlyweds walk to the beach, holding hands. Just when we think Nan will divulge the Jinny situation, she pivots, per the Dowager's instructions. She tells Theo the best decision she's made thus far is marrying him. They have sex on the beach. Nan thinks about Guy. Oof. RELATED: Read our Bridgerton recaps Afterward, Nan reveals the truth about Jinny's escape. Theo is supportive. He didn't know Seadown was such an a-hole. Theo still doesn't know about Nan and Guy sleeping together … the night before. Elsewhere, Patti and Nell have it out. Patti tells Nell about her desire to divorce Tracy. We learn that Nell is Patti's sister, so if Nan were Patti's biological daughter, Nell would be her aunt. However, while Patti was nursing baby Jinny, Tracy threw himself on Nell, impregnating her. Nell reminds Patti that she took Nan away from her. She didn't get to spend any time with her daughter. Not to mention, she was younger than Nan when Tracy approached her. Patti asserts they must keep this aspect of the lie in the dark. Nan must not know. THE BUCCANEERS Season 2 Episode 1, 'The Duchess of Tintagel' — Photo courtesy of Apple TV+ Not Content on the Sidelines Outside, the titular Buccaneers light a lantern for Jinny. The views are stunning. We see Guy staring at the same Moon as Nan. Jinny sleeps beside him in the carriage. The following day, Theo lets Nan sleep in. Patti visits Nell in her room. She apologizes to Nell. She shouldn't have blamed Nell for Tracy's inability to control himself. Patti regrets not protecting her little sister. RELATED: Geek Girl Authority Crush of the Week: The Buccaneers ' Lizzy Elmsworth Then, Patti invites Nell to Thanksgiving. She should be involved in Nan and Jinny's lives. However, Nell isn't so sure she wants that. She's met Nan. Nan has her smile. Nell doesn't want to be sidelined as the 'aunt.' Perhaps it's best to cut ties. Meester is excellent in these scenes. Meanwhile, Nan's maids greet her with a 'Your Grace' before dressing her for the day. She is the Duchess of Tintagel, after all. At the same time, Conchita and Dicky (Josh Dylan) ride their carriage back to London. Financially, they're in dire straits. Conchita's father gambled away the family fortune, and with Dicky's dying father, they're poised to become Lord and Lady Brightlingsea. This includes ownership of Dicky's mother, sister and all their debts. Conchita vows to look at the books. Perhaps they can trim the financial fat, as it were. Making New Friends Then, a maid fits Nan for her gown for Lady Hadstock's Black-and-White Ball. This will be Nan's duchess debut. Nan continues to press about her sister. Is Jinny okay? The Dowager insists she has the situation under control. RELATED: Read our Dickinson recaps Conchita looks through the books and sighs. There's not a lot of monetary wiggle room. After this, Conchita meets Mrs. Merrigan (Amanda Bright) and her daughter, Cora (Maria Almeida). They're here for the London season to snag a lord or duke for Cora. Conchita recognizes the Merrigan surname — it's a well-known store in New York. However, in London, Mrs. Merrigan and her daughter are regarded more like grocers. Side note: I love Conchita's look in this scene. Conchita quickly befriends the Merrigans. Next, Dicky brings his parents and sister together for a chat. It's time to air their grievances. Lady Brightlingsea wishes Seadown were here because he would at least hand her a sherry. Good times. Elsewhere, Lizzy runs into Hector, who's waiting outside the Marable house. Lizzy and Mabel are staying with Conchita and Dicky. Mabel watches her sister get her flirt on with Hector from the window. Hector asks Lizzy if she plans to attend the Black-and-White Ball. And if so, if she'd spare him a dance. My girl Lizzy deserves to be happy. Let her be happy! RELATED: TV Review: The Serpent Queen Season 2 Conchita Saves the Day Then, Conchita rejoins her in-laws with her financial findings. Could they perhaps sell the beach house? Sell the horses? Put some paintings up for auction? Lord and Lady Brightlingsea shoot all these ideas down. Lord Brightlingsea wonders if they could give a few tenants the boot. Conchita and Dicky despise this, but something in her father-in-law's words gives her an idea. THE BUCCANEERS Season 2 Episode 1, 'The Duchess of Tintagel' — Photo courtesy of Apple TV+ Later, Patti and Nell decide to head back to America. Patti gives Nell Tracy's boat ticket. Oops. She still plans to divorce him. Nan asks Nell about her falling out with Patti. When did they stop talking? As it turns out, 19 years ago. Nan is 19 years old. She silently puts two and two together. After Nell and Patti depart in a carriage, Nan informs her dad that she'll arrange a carriage for him as well and buy him a new boat ticket. Nan definitely knows the truth now. RELATED: 15 Song Covers We Want to Hear on Bridgerton A Suspicious Coat Conchita and Dicky meet with Mrs. Merrigan and Cora. The plan is for Conchita to become Cora's mentor and teacher. Dicky reassures the Merrigans that Cora will find no finer an instructor than Conchita. And since the Merrigans are rich, the Marables are charging them. Perhaps this will help turn the financial tide for them. Meanwhile, Theo finds Guy's coat with his stitched handkerchief in one of the pockets. Suspicious. The Dowager reminds her son that Guy Thwarte has spent more time in this castle than he has. It's also entirely possible that Guy has more than one coat. Theo acknowledges that his mother is right. Girl, all the red flags are waving in front of your face. THE BUCCANEERS Season 2 Episode 1, 'The Duchess of Tintagel' — Photo courtesy of Apple TV+ Dead or Mad? Nan reads the newspaper and discovers Jinny is the hot topic of discussion. 'Lady Seadown Still Missing: Dead or Mad?' is emblazoned in bold, black letters on the front page. Uh-oh. Outside, Seadown himself (Barney Fishwick) confronts Nan, demanding to know where his wife is. Nan claims ignorance. Seadown threatens her, grabbing Nan's arm. He declares he'll find Jinny and apologize for 'how she felt.' Ew. Oh, and he'll give Jinny Nan's regards. RELATED: TV Review: My Lady Jane Season 1 Nan barges back into the castle and tells the Dowager about Seadown confronting her. He's actively looking for Jinny. And now that she's on the front page of every newspaper, he'll most certainly find her. The Dowager reminds Nan about the news cycle. The media will inevitably forget Jinny and move on to the next newsworthy thing. Speaking of Jinny, she and Guy pose as a couple while checking into a hotel room. A woman, Paloma Ballardino (Grace Ambrose), shows them to their oceanfront room. It looks like paradise. THE BUCCANEERS Season 2 Episode 1, 'The Duchess of Tintagel' — Photo courtesy of Apple TV+ Duchess Dazzles in Red Nan gets ready for the impending ball. Upon her arrival, the Duchess of Tintagel dazzles in deep crimson. She takes Nell's advice, in a way, to paint that castle red. Her gown and makeup are a bit anachronistic, but she still looks stunning. It's enough to draw attention away from Jinny. The next day, we see the headline, 'Duchess Dazzles in Red.'

Is Christina Hendricks house-hunting in the UK? You'll never guess the VERY surprising part of the country that has 'captured' Hollywood star's heart!
She has spent two lengthy periods of time in Scotland filming two series of period drama The Buccaneers. But Mad Men star Christina Hendricks could be here a lot more after it emerged she is in the market for a Scottish castle of her own. The revelation emerged as the star appeared on the One Show to discuss season two of the show. During the interview, presenter Alex Jones said she understood Hendricks had been searching 'to see if you might make a move over to Scotland'. The suggestion didn't seem to throw the American star, who responded by explaining how much she's come to love the country. She said: 'I am so in love with Scotland. I don't know - I have had such extraordinary luck or I've somehow got rose coloured glasses on because every time I'm there it's just to me so stunning. 'I feel like Mother Nature just gave Scotland more. I don't know if it's dramatic - it's more dramatic. If the sky is sunny, you know, it's just glowing. It's just captured my heart.' Jones then pressed her further on what Hendricks was looking for during her search, asking: 'Do you go for period or modern [for a house], if you were looking?' Responding, Hendricks said: 'I'm all about the historical stuff. I mean when we shoot at these estates and these castles, I am just... I'm a girl from Idaho in the United States we don't have stuff like that. We got fields with cows and stuff, but this is mind blowing to me.' When the presenters then joked they should create a reality TV show to help her find a Scots home, Hendricks said: 'Sign me up.' The actress, 50, spent months filming in Scotland last year for the second series of The Buccaneers, which began streaming on Apple TV this week, having spent months filming season one here in 2022. And the actress has made the most of her time in Scotland, visiting all manner of tourist attractions and local favourites. She has made two separate trips to Balmoral Castle, in Aberdeenshire estate, as well as enjoying days out in Edinburgh to Portobello beach and the Johnnie Walker Princes Street whisky centre. The Buccaneers follows a group of young American women in the 1870s as they are sent to London to find husbands and titles, with hilarious culture clashes ensuing. Ms Hendricks stars as Mrs Patricia St George in the series. Each episode focuses on a different fictional property – most of which are a composite of stately homes and castles in Scotland. The Scottish coast stands in for Cornwall while Glasgow doubles up as both New York and London. Culzean Castle in Ayrshire, Hopetoun House, near South Queensferry, and Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfriesshire all feature in the period drama. Scenes have been filmed at Glasgow's Mitchell Library, which doubles as a US courthouse. Horses and carriages, as well as historical street signs and postboxes, transformed the city street into a 19th Century American scene. However, Hendricks is perhaps best known for her previous role as office manager Joan Harris in hit TV show Mad Men alongside Golden Globe winner Jon Hamm. She also has a celebrity friend who is well-placed to advise her on her search for a Scottish home – Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson. The singer, who is from Edinburgh, is a certified celebrant and married Hendricks and husband George Bianchini in New Orleans last year.

The One Show fans gasp 'how has he got away with that?!' after spotting VERY crude message on Grayson Perry's necklace
The One Show fans were surprised when they spotted a very crude message on Grayson Perry's necklace. Monday's episode of the BBC evening programme was hosted by co-presenters Alex Jones, 48, and Roman Kemp, 32. The pair welcomed actress Christina Hendricks, 50, presenter Katie Derham, 54, and artist Sir Grayson Perry, 65. Grayson wore a yellow t-shirt, colourful trousers, pink Crocs and wide-rimmed glasses. However, his choice of accessory - a pink heart necklace - shocked some when they realised the what the symbols spelled out. The piece of jewellery, which featured a gold chain and a heart with a 'W' and an anchor engraved on it which seemed to spell out w****r. It caught the attention of some viewers who took to social media and one said: 'Interesting choice of necklace Grayson's wearing #TheOneShow.' Another added, 'Anybody noticed Grayson Perry's necklace? W #TheOneShow,' followed by an anchor and laughing face emojis. '#theoneshow how is he allowed to wear that,' someone else said. Another penned: 'Shall see if Grayson's necklace lasts the show #theoneshow.' Someone else added: 'How's Grayson got away with that necklace?! #theoneshow.' While one viewer said: 'Love Grayson, but that necklace is very naughty. #theoneshow.' During the show, Grayson let slip a swear word when discussing the BBC Proms. He said: 'My best experience when I went, a friend invited me into a box and I'd had a drink and the music started, it was Tchaikovsky, a violin concerto, I think, and I was just in floods. 'Because back in the day of vinyl in the corner of the studio when I was at art school, that was probably the only record that wasn't scratched b*****y. It caught the attention of some viewers who took to social media and one said: 'Interesting choice of necklace Grayson's wearing #TheOneShow.' 'So I just burst into floods of tears and then after that I think it was the Elgar piece, I think I was just gone.' Host Roman was forced to apologise for the language, as the programme airs from 7pm to 8pm, before the 9pm watershed. 'Apologies for any fruity language we had there as well, of course,' Roman added, as Alex quipped, 'Grayson!' The One Show airs weekdays on BBC One from 7pm and is available to stream on iPlayer.
