I watched the first 2 episodes and then went to Spain on holiday, so I set the TV to record the other episodes.
I spent most of yesterday watching the other 3 episodes.
Wow, I really did enjoy this series and if you've ever seen the interview given by Charmain Brent on Aussie TV, the TV adaptation was very true to what really happened.
Anybody else enjoy watching it?

It was surprisingly good- to be honest I hadn't really fancied watching it.
I thought it was excellent! Cracking drama - you have got to hand it to her she was one smart cookie. This followed her story very closely.Even though I knew what was going to happen I still jumped when she had the car crash at the intersection.
I really enjoyed it too. I thought the acting was brilliant.
I jumped at the car crash as well!

Yes, even though I knew it was going to happen, it still made me jump too and then shed a tear.
I don't think my Dave knew it was going to happen because he said 'bluddy hell' - that means he was surprised & 'shocked,' and with my OH being a Londoner, he enjoyed it too.
Superb acting by both Sheridan Smith and Daniel Mays- apparently the real living Charmain said that they both captured the characters and 'nailed it'.
The 1960's were very well portrayed with the old type prams, cars and fashion, and especially the bouffant hairstyles, gawd, I spent a fortune in the 1960’s on hair lacquer, sleeping in spikey rollers and back combing my hair to reach a respectable height.

How many of you went to bed in those hard plastic spikey rollers and halfway through the night they'd be hurting your head so much, that they kept you awake and you'd yank them out - and then a few hours later, you'd be fumbling around for them in the dark to put them back in, so that you could do something with your hair in the morning .?

Loved it t'other week on Corrie when Michelle and Tracy were having their cat fight in the street, both with their big rollers in a la 1960's - classic stuff.

When I did use heated rollers (in the 80's) mine broke so I used to boil them in a pan to heat them up
