Mrs Wilson

[Georgiesmum]

Did anyone manage to read what was printed on the card that she took out the wallet at the end of the programme tonight please?

[Caran]

I did see it but I have forgotten what it was.grrrr
I think it was advertising a business.
I really struggled with this programme again with all the flashbacks.

[pastafreak]

If I read it correctly, it was for a pawnbrokers.

[douglas9401]

It was indeed a pawnbroker, Urquharts.

[retrocop]

Urquarts Pawnbrokers

[Stargazer]

It was a pawnbrokers but it was not a receipt or whatever they give you in order to get your item back.

[vetuste_ennemi]

...and why sewn up in the wallet?

So many questions, so little time.

[retrocop]

Only a week V.E.. Even I think I can try to hold out that long. :-)

[Georgiesmum]

Thank you all very much for your answers, thats a big help.x

[Tilly2]

Good, isn't it? I find it riveting.

[hellywelly4]

I was annoyed at her attitude to Dorothy and also her sons. I know it's a true story but it does seem as though she blames everyone else instead of her husband. I agree it's very good, though, and she is a good actress.

[Patsy33]

Very good..

[Tilly2]

I think her behaviour is to do with the fact that she just cannot accept the truth about her husband.

[Georgiesmum]

Yes, Im enjoying it too Tilly2. I cant wait to see what happens next week. Its got me hooked!

[emmie]

it is very good, and i also can't wait to see what happens next week, the acting by all is first class.

My lips are sealed. :-0)

It's a true story, by the way, and Ruth Wilson the actress is playing her own grandmother.
No-one will ever know the full story, at least not for many years, because of the Official Secrets Act, etc.

[Ken4155]

It is a true story only insomuch as Mrs Wilson only being aware of Gladys. The other 'wives' only came to light after her death when the family (including actress Ruth Wilson) did some research for the book on which this 3-parter is based. So the scene where she 'fronts' Dorothy is poetic licence.

[Ken4155]

Pxys; "No one will ever know the true story............................."
Which is why the story is being told from the point of view of his wife, Alison, who, in reality, forbid any mention of her husband within the family circle. She did, however, leave her memoirs for all to read.

This made fascinating reading about the family. Don't read it if you don't want to know what happens.
