I like Kay Mellor's tv stuff!

I'm not kidding, they even advertised this before the National Lottery draws last night ending on the line:

"I just wish everything could go back to how it was."

Not really what people settling down for the Lottery want to hear.

Thanks for the link. I knew that it was impossible for Gaynor Faye not to be involved in a Kay Mellor drama!

I think her 'official' title is Script Editor.

I saw Joanne Page talking about this on The One Show(:o) the other day, it sounds quite good. Think I'll give it a go, could do with a new drama now that Prisoners Wives is over.

Must be something in her contract that her daughter has to be in the show lol

This drama sounds typical of the relentlessly working-class-bashing BBC nowadays.

"working-class people are better off poor, they like it in fact. Poor dears, it's a kindness to employ them really"

Back to the fifties from the BBC.

guernseysnail · 26/03/12 - 09:21

Kay Mellor's on The Wright Stuff talking about this today!

I feel I've already seen the first episode there has been so many trailers for it!

I bet this is just another carbon copy of At Home With the Braithwaites.

^^^^You could always record it!..:D

I'm really looking forward to this, I hope it doesn't disappoint. Agree with the similarity to At Home With The Braithwaites - that was a fantastic programme.

Oh how I miss it. Brilliant stuff. They don't make them like that anymore.

Looking forward to The Syndicate, tho.

Good cast & writer. I'll give it a go.

guernseysnail · 27/03/12 - 21:02

Who's the actress playing the larger lady, she looks familiar.

She looks like the bloke who plays Heather in TV Burp?

I see Neville Longbottom's spent some of his wages buying new teeth.

Good for him

Sez_babe · 27/03/12 - 21:17

Good so far.

I love all the mentions of how poor everyone is!!

Hey there!
