I haven’t got one right yet, but last week Lynda being outmanoeuvered and having to agree to join in with the Calendar Girls photo shoot got me thinking. Perhaps this isn’t all for comic effect.
What if Lynda has had a mastectomy for breast cancer hence her reluctance to take part, and the others in the cast then feel bad about strong arming her into being in the shoot. Lynda braves it out with dignity. Her stock goes up in the village. It explains why she couldn’t have children due to side effects of treatment.
May be miles off course here, but it would give great dramatic effect with light and shade, even though usually the Christmas play is more light-hearted than lump in the back of the throat territory.
