Should make for interesting viewing 4 'normal' women locked up in a closed order of nuns for 40 days and nights.

Oh sit back and watch those sparks fly!!!!

time please

9pm sorry LGJ

Murky buckets

9pm.
I'd be surprised if there's anyone even vaguely normal though.

there were some normal blokes in the male version, but obviously they're gonna throw a few oddie in there.

i would quite like to do this! nice rest

dont think youd get much rest there. I'm a bit scared of nuns, though so wouldnt entertain it! Think they have to be up VERY early

have to watch - i imagine its peaceful, nuns are a bit scary, though not the nuns in the sound of music!

i go to the monastery for weekends and its a bit like the Betty Ford clinic, no drink, or tv, or kids, just sleeping and reading and no scary nuns

love the nuns in the sound of music oh the shame

(mosschops trots off to kitchen humming 'how do you solve a problem like maria')

Come on....................

Own up................you envied them the release from school runs and bank statments.

and play dates and the PTA............

.

god yes cant stand that one who shags everyone with her husbands knowledge but like the others.
The nuns were not as scary as i expected

I went to a convent, I always got the nuns, my DSis went to the same convent and does not.

I liked Sister Gabriel, very wise and inspirational.
Think the nuns are going to come out of it very well.

yeah i thought she was nice (although I'm a geordie so biased) also liked sister claire agnes the one who told the blonde woman that it wasnt her fault her mother left. It was quite touching

so rude of them not to turn up on time etc Its such a huge thing for an enclosed order to let people and camera crews in.

That poor woman who was abandoned by her mother.

Oh missed it :(

Is it repeated?

yes that poor woman (was it debbie?) having to leave her mum at the dock nearly made me cry. i hope she can be more at peace with herself at the end.

the ones going off on their own were like big kids, but i would probably do that.

brilliant programme - the nuns were lovely not at all scary!

my mum phoned me in tears after the programme to say the same happened to her, having to choose which parent to stay with (i never knew this), she said she still cant get over it 50 years on

Gillian you can watch it again online at BBC2

that is so sad mosschops - she was very brave to leave her son as well

did anyone see part 2?
