Warning. There are misleading comments (since acknowledged by Lucy and Roifield) in this week’s podcast. So to put things right:
1. Much to everyone’s surprise at the time it was the left wing firebrand Peggy Woolley who decided to leave the St Stephen’s congregation when Janet Fisher became the vicar. She returned when Janet left with Siobhan’s husband.
2. Shula and Usha had a slight falling out when the former stole Deadly Doc Locke from the latter and never spoke thereafter. When Usha married Alan (she has a thing for men with a northern accent) she introduced some items from her religion into the vicarage to which Shula took objection and ceased using the local churches. A few years later she returned to the fold but no-one explained how or why – simply she was talking to Alan again!
3. And as an aside did you know that the same actress was both Janet Fisher and Sophie Barlow (an ex-girlfriend of David Archer)?
Completely separately I take issue with Lucy’s feeling that playwright Terence Rattigan has been forgotten. In recent years there have been revivals of three of his lesser productions. “Flare Path” with Sheridan Smith came first with Trevor Nunn as director which he followed up with “Love in Idleness” where Eve Best and Anthony Head (Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Archers) provided sublime performances. Most recently Robert Lindsay (Wolfie Smith) and Tara Fitzgerald with “In Praise of Love” undertook a great portrayal of a couple each seeking to deceive the other about their illness. I reckon that he is actually doing better than some of his kitchen sink contemporaries!
Otherwise it is business as usual!
