I think the brother and sister who lived together had grown up in a workhouse, at least that’s what they went through in the book.I remember that one, he was dieing and they only had each other, living in a prefab (?) home.

The early series with Jenny were so much better because they were based on her memoirs, therefore contained more accuracy of what social attitudes were like back then. I find with each new series it's getting more and more inaccurate - the recent series was set in 1968 but it had the social and moral attitudes of 2023.Yes! And Jenny was disgusted by a lot of the people in Poplar’s living arrangements too and had to be brought down a peg or 2 by sister Julien. More true to the books. They’ve really strayed too far.
It's more woke than the current attitudes of people who were alive in 1968, especially if you read Facebook comments on articles about race and sexuality. I'm thinking we might get a trans person next series and Dr Turner will prescribe hormone therapy for them.The early series with Jenny were so much better because they were based on her memoirs, therefore contained more accuracy of what social attitudes were like back then.

No need to apologise! I read the books a bit before the TV show started, and that particular moment is etched in my brain, along with the description of workhouse conditions, which made me cry.Yes sorry that was it.

Someone get Patrick.I saw the stage show of Steel Magnolias last week. Shelagh plays the Sally Field character. One of the audience members sadly fell ill, looked like a stroke. I was half expecting her too rush out to help. Luckily the ambulance arrived in minutes to help.
For a long time, Shelagh has reminded me of the Thunderbird puppets because she tends to hold her forearms at a 90° angle at her elbows. The hand gestures are very exaggerated and I don’t know why she does this as it seems so unnecessary.Shelagh has taken over the baton. I think it’s her exaggerated hand gestures, like she’s a puppet.
