A Q About Last Nights Drama...

[trt]

on Ch5, Flowers in the Attic.

Apart from it wasting an hour & a half of my life, how did the young girl get tar in her hair?

//Another year later, Cathy and Chris, who have entered puberty, have taken a parental role with the twins, who no longer remember Corrine. The twins have stopped growing due to the stress of being imprisoned and the lack of sunlight and fresh air. One day, Chris walks in on Cathy naked and is entranced. Olivia catches them and orders Chris to cut off Cathy's hair as punishment or all four children will not receive food. They refuse, but one night, Olivia drugs Cathy in her sleep and pours tar into her hair. Chris removes the tar, but Cathy futilely cuts off some of her hair in hopes of getting food for the twins. //

I wondered about that too trt and I didn't see it happen either. I quite enjoyed the film (believe it or not)! It was daft in places though ..

Maybe there's been more than one version but that is supposedly how she gets the tar in her hair, didn't watch last night.

Is it supposed to be a true story? I remember when every woman I knew was reading the books.

A true story? Blimey !

The author said it was but there is no objective evidence.

The biggest waste of time drama I have seen. Badly acted, badly produced. Stupidly we watched it to the end out of curiosity and the ending was so weak!
