Love the history in this. Thinking about it being pre gas & air. This was about the time my BIL was born so not that long ago.

PenelopePisstop · 20/01/2013 20:19

Bloody marvellous stuff!

HeavenlyAmy · 20/01/2013 20:35

Brilliant so far! This storyline on the ship I vaguely remember from the book.

I don't get why the husband got her to get in the Car - was he prostituting her?

Yes, I think he was, Jazz. Sad

Really bittersweet tonight.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 20/01/2013 21:05

Yes I think so. I don't remember that from the books so I'm guessing that's a new bit. I do recognise the one on the ship though.

What was the prison sentence then for child neglect?

OP posts:
Scottishtanguera · 20/01/2013 21:09

Yes, jazz, he was. I thought that right from the start then when her mum said about the rumours about them...
As someone up thread said, bloody marvellous stuff! Fab historical drama at it's best- so atmospheric, moving, uplifting and excellent story telling(love Vanessa Redgrave's voice). Every episode I laugh and cry.
That's all- just had to gush.

Sorry I couldn't hear the tv, baby was waking with all the screaming when she was pushing.

What was the girl on the ship doing? Or what was her dad doing with her. I got the bit that she didn't know that she was pregnant.

catinthesnow · 20/01/2013 21:11

She gave her children milk and alcohol to make them sleep while she was out but left a lit cigarette and the house caught fire.
