One of my all time favourite TV series - Hetty Wainthropp Investigates... 16 Years, 4 Months ago

is being repeated (about bloody time too) on BBC2 in the afternoons this week.

Patricia Routledge is her usual wonderful self and young Dominic Monaghan (now famous thanks to Hobbits and Lost) was on my TalkRadio show (and I bumped into him and had a cup of tea later when shopping at my local M&S).

Scripts are lovely, reminiscent of the Hovis ads.

Catch it if you can.

An incredible story today about a schizophrenic who wanders off and dies.

A little tale about ordinary Northern people.

Quite beautifully told, acted, written, directed.

They don't make television like it anymore.

What a shame. Because Hetty Wainthropp warranted my licence fee back in 1995.

I've just watched the same episode - quite delightful. Wonderful performances from the three pricipals, and Anne Reid as the mother of the schizophrenic. As you say, beautifully scripted and directed - the sort of thing that the BBC used to do so well Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

I'm so glad you saw it; they appear to be running two a day every day for the next three weeks (they originally made 4 series). It was one of my guilty pleasures - well, not that guilty, I raved about it on my huge rated national radio shows!!

I watched every show first time around ten years ago and loved them but I have to admit I can't remember any of them; I'm loving them again but they are all virgin fresh.

Is this a comment on my powers of retention or on the transitory effect of TV?

I have to add that I'm totally surprised by 90% of Entertainment USA when I watch it again, so even my own shows have passed me by!

Poor little Geoffrey (Dominic) had his heart broken in today's episode. Who'd have thought he'd go on to be a heart throb rock star in Lost and a Hobbit? Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.
