You're a little b****r Matt! You're leaving us in suspense on purpose!

I'm with Judy - this would make an EXCELLENT BBC drama! I can see it now!! (and Judy Dench would have to star in it - perhaps she should be Eliza.  ;) and Matt can play himself  ;D) It's the kind of story you see on TV and you think "that's a bit far fetched - no one would ever have such a hard life and such rotten luck - and they've just added that for dramatic effect" ... but it's all TRUE!

Surely there must be someone on Rootschat who knows someone who knows someone influential who works for the BBC, who can get this story read by some big whig or written up by a scriptwriter.

Get a move on Matt - your fans are waiting!

My goodness, I was going over in my head who would play who...and I tell no lie when I say that I thought Judi Dench had to be in it. I was actually thinking she should play Mary Ann...

I'm sorry if I am leaving you in suspense. I know I am...but hey look at it like this...it draws you in to it more and you become closer to the characters.

I have the number of someone at the BBC, I was on TV last year and got a few contacts lol. I may give her a ring :D

Charles Dickens used to do this to his readers - weekly installments - at least we're not having to wait a week between our fixes   :D  ;D

The BBC do the period dramas so well and they are definitely in vogue at the moment.  They have high viewing figures, there must be room for one as good as this and a true story too.
