Another Wonderful Performance From Emily Watson

"A Sing for Jenny".....I hope everybody watched this last night.....so impressive. I have said this before but if we can produce drama of this quality, why on earth do we need to import stuff from America ? Exactly the sort of stuff that BBC does so well. Thank God for the Beeb !

Just watched it, Mikey.....wonderful performance indeed......and well worth the licence fee for programmes like this...x

I agree Gness ! Thanks goodness for the Beeb !

But I am surprised that this thread hasn't attracted more comments. I am a huge fan of Watson since her "Appropriate Adult"

Can't recommend that highly enough, even though it was ITV !

Apart from you, Mikey I haven't spoken to anyone who watched it.....yet the viewing figures must have been huge....surely.

The writing was excellent.....It showed so well, yet in a subtle way, how the focus is often on the mother when a child dies yet the father is suffering just as much..........and how a couple can drift apart painfully and quietly at a time like this....

One of the most moving and emotional programmes in a long time....x

well, you've posted it in Radio, which is not the place to be noticed.

[gness]

Why?.....I look at radio more than I look at TV.....you're not Methyl are you, Jno?.... ;-)

just pointing out why it may not have attracted more comment. It's in the wrong section.

I couldn't bear to watch it. I thought the subject was so dreadfully sad and knew I wouldn't be able to cope with it.

JNO...I didn't realise that I had posted it in radio !

Archers on the ruddy brain I expect !
