Title: TV Prog Love & Marriage last night
Post by: Pennyfarthing on June 06, 2013, 02:18:13 PM
Anybody else watch this?  It starred Alison Steadman and Larry Lamb, Celie Imrie and several other well known actors.

I have just watched it this afternoon and enjoyed it.  I think it hots up next week.

For those who missed it it's about a woman who retires from her job as a lollipop lady.  Her hubby never notices her and never talks to her.  Her 3 adult kids think she is still there to mother them all, cook for them, lend them money and babysit.  She also has about 8 grandchildren.  Her elderly father lives with her and he dies suddenly.   She decides she's had enough and moves out .....................

Yes I did Dyan.  I have loved her since she was in Nuts in May donkeys years ago as a nature-loving camper.  That was classic stuff!

I am so annoyed with myself as I forgot to record it so will have to watch the 2nd episode & hope I understand it.
I love Alison. Was she is a series about greyhound racing? I'm sure she played the wife of a greyhound owner... can't think of the actors name, big bloke, he was in Dalziel & wotsits.
Oh crikey Cazikins, you really are losing the plot these days.  ;D ;D
