Review of the episode in last Saturday's Times said this episode is one of the best ever. Will definitely be watching.

I'm probably just ignorant or too old to know ... but who the **** is she ??   Could my lack of a TV be the reason ?   :)


I'm going round to a friends to watch it anyway, so maybe that will enlighten me.

I've never heard of her either, and she is only a couple of years younger than me...but I've heard good reviews, and having missed Larry Lamb last week, am off now to settle down and watch!  ;D ;D

Edited to add:

Just watched it.  Was very interesting, have to say I LOVED the eldest great Aunt - she was brilliant!  ;D ;D

Very good programme absolutely loved her great aunt Mary. For 104 she was brilliant. Lots of interesting facts and resources given, especially if you have anyone from a theatrical background.
What will they give us next week to follow the last two episodes I wonder???

That was an excellent episode, and not just because of the brilliant great aunts  ;D    Like a grand sweeping historical drama - most appropriate for an acting family  :)
