I'm watching and have read book.
I do know of women like this (was told a horror story of a Mother who had noticed that another woman's child wasn't tracing their name correctly, and told her she should be trying harder with them. At a preschool within a Private Nursery. The Child was just 3yrs old.)

Scary stuff

[5inthebed]

I'm watching it. The mother (Shirley Henderson) played Moaning Myrtle in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (thought I recognised the whiney voice).

[NeedaNewName]

Of course it was John O'Farrell - thank you!

[Dumbledoresgirl]

Shirley Henderson is in loads of stuff. Ummm, HP, Doctor Who, that thing with that sexy man, modern day Taming of the Shrew, ummm....well loads of things!
