A very young Alison Steadman I think she’s a brilliant actor. And Keith Chegwin. It took me a few minutes to get in it but it was good I hope there’s more if this ? Thank you
I’m 1 of 8 kids and lived in Quarry Hill. Just reminds me of how we entertained ourselves on a rainy day. We would play role programmes like Little Rascals and Old Mother Riley. Those flats were freezing so a day in the wash house warmed us up. My sister would put the nappies in the electric ringer and I would catch ‘em at tuther side.
There's still a few folk like the Bainbridges left in Teesdale and Weardale but By the Christ they're thin on the ground. But when they made Hannah they broke the mould.
This was a big departure from her once glamorous film career, from a sex bomb to a council flat sit-com, she had put on weight, never worked out why all her grown sons shared her flat with her.
As an American I've tried to like this tv show but it's honestly horrible. I suppose in the 70's and in Great Britan it might have been understood but it makes no sense to me. Diana deserved a well-written show and not this.
Diana Dors, I mean come on you don't get much more glamorous than her. She always looks a million dollars, even towards the end of her life she outshone those around her, a proper star she was, a nice lady too ❤️❤️❤️
Black dress - now we're talking. Cooking with gas. Locked and loaded, packing heat. Dressed to kill. Knockout. Bombshell. I think you get the idea. A-ba-a-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
I'm reminded when watching this video of the struggle my late mother, who was widowed very young in the early sixties did her best to bring up five children under the age of six while running a hundred acre farm in a time when everything was labour intensive and money was very scarce. I admired my mother for her hard-working ethnic as I do this wonderful, simple living woman who puts her farm first before the trappings of a more material life.
