Lovely interview with Jessica Hynes here. ("You think of Emily Davison as the only martyr, but it was all quite serious. It was no longer Carry On Up the Suffrage. I was crying into my tea...")

Watched the first episode last night (twice!) and rather loved it. Sort of the opposite of Miranda... Very quiet, very understated, but with real bite. Really can't wait for more.

Seriously though - it's a sitcom about Suffragettes!

OK, let's see if LJ will let me reply...

OMG...the lady who played Vera in Delores Claiborne!!
I... don't think so. But there are three Doctor Who alumni in the cast. (And 'romance!lady' - 'Nurse Redfern' - is the writer & star. She's awesome all round!)

No idea where you might get hold of it, but if you can - do!

*sends lots of hugs*

YAY!!!

You're right it was Judy Parfitt in Dolores Claiborne (got over-excited, but you might be able to see why).

I will do what I can, for sure!!

*HUGS*

British TV is always a Who's Who, so the confusion is understandable. Take care!
