Does anyone remember this? It was a series I think on ITV about a teenage girl whose father left home to live with his girlfriend in London. The address was something square? She had an older brother maybe, and the series follows her over the next few years until she has left home. No idea what it was called, I've looked on Wikipedia with no success. Can any of you extremely kind lurverly people help? Please? Maybe the girls name was Anna?

oooh, am intrigued. (but wondering why you want your chocolate frozen... I prefer mine melted Grin)

I'm possibly too young Wink

gigglewitch · 30/08/2010 22:50

meltedmarsbars · 30/08/2010 22:53

Sorry, didn't have a telly then (hippie parents Angry)- but have a name Gigglewitch might like!

Sorry for thread hijack FrozenChocolate!

I have, giggle, for the '70s and '80s. I don't recognise any of the titles, but it may be there of course. I remember a few other details - there is one scene where she is walking down a road in the lake district towards a pub and she has a very strong feeling of deja vu, and then it turns out that the landlord is her real father, or something like that (she had learnt/learned that the man in London was not actually her dad a few years previously).

Melted or frozen, both are good but frozen has the edge. Lukewarm is Not Good.

I used to slice a mars up and put it in the fridge to savour slowly!

BUT WHAT ABOUT MY PROGRAMME?

I melt them to make chocolate Krispie cakes. Mmmmmm.

Sorry, still know nothing about your programme. Parents finally got a telly when I was 19 and had left home.

gigglewitch · 30/08/2010 23:07

ho hum, thought you would have already doe that search

I'd be more inclined to go searching on Amazon, hunting through the tv series section. When was the series set? Was it contemporary to its time or was it set in another era?

gigglewitch · 30/08/2010 23:15

don*e Blush

Well it surely can't be that elusive, there were only three channels...

FrozenChocolate · 30/08/2010 23:20

What, you thought I would have clicked on every series in a 20 year period??? Isn't it easier to ask here, someone might remember it after all (I can't find a bone idle emoticon). Seriously, that is a lot of series (insert apostrophe if required) they have listed on Wiki. And it might not be there.

gigglewitch · 30/08/2010 23:26

cor, we could click every single one couldn't we.... Grin

Sorry I am really honestly not here to mickey take, I genuinely love a good ol' google, and being a bit of a detective. I've remembered a couple of programmes that I want to find on video/dvd as well from this - thanks to you Wink We just need some one ancient a bit more mature to remember the exact one you want (and then we'll all have to watch it!)

BikeRunSki · 30/08/2010 23:29

Was it Johnny Jarvis?

FrozenChocolate · 30/08/2010 23:36

Bike - no, but it looks good!

and now I want a melted mars bar....

Her 'father' goes to live with his girlfriend, a middle aged woman who has no kids, in her central london home with an address something like Chelsea Square. Her mother is slowly losing her sanity and there is a scene where she gets called out of school in the middle of the day to be told her father is leaving (I think). It's all quite hazy tbh, but I would love to know what it is.

Try asking a question on this website. I asked once once about an 80s toy and got the right answer very quickly.

The only teenage girl/father thing I know of was Me and My Girl :o

Frozen you're not thinking of \link{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break_in_the_Sun\A Break in the Sun} are you? I used to love that but it was quite gritty for that era.

ledodgy · 04/09/2010 12:31

I was only 6, I so shouldn't have been watching it! I always used to call it 'Patsy'.

In fact I was only 5. Shock
