Poor thing, I hadn't caught on to that.

I realise this is an old thread but I'm so annoyed at Anne Reid that I had to say something.

I have just seen this episode and turned it off the minute she got to Tasmania. Her laughing at John Reid's drunken behaviour was insane at best. Never mind he disrupted the village, banging on people's doors in the middle of the night and generally being a pest. All she seemed to do was defend her criminal ancestor and slag off anyone else that came into contact with him, including her own ancestors the Husbands. Wishing a horrible death on people too, just what? She has no understanding of anything back then it seems.

Urgh, worst episode of this I've ever seen, she's far too annoying to continue to watch on this. Crazy woman.

It was ABso  Awful...


shame cos I liked Thelma ... and hated it when she put the plug in and got an electric Shock...

Dont like the series where she is marrying again at some vague age... and the famil...ies .... are crazy.

adding sons and daughters in law and then forgetting they have..  no .... not good.

She was Val.

Thelma (Barlow) was the actress who played the part of Mavis Riley.

I thought she was married to Ken??

OK so who got electrocuted..   never mind .


WDYTYA with Anne Reid, was not enjoyable for me.

Also turned this off during the original airing but completed it recently. She hadn't a clue! Baffled why no one giving her the info set her straight on anything.
