anyone remember the tv drama with Trevor Eve and Beryl Bainbridge's daughter...

[MaryAnnSingleton]

which was on ages and ages ago ? - it's troubling me !

Who's Beryl Bainbridge??!
Do you mean A Sense of Guilt where he got the young girl, his best friend's daughter (Penny from Grange Hill) pregnant? I loved that series.

oh,yes Penny from Grange Hill - that was it ! She is Beryl Bainbridge the novelist's daughter

I remmebr A sense of guilt.

It was crap but compelling! Me and Dh used to stay up really late to watch it.

the young girl with red hair.had a really annoying voice. Is she Beryl Bainbridge's daughter?

Sorry x posts

yes

It was from a novel called A Sense of Guilt by Andrea Newman, who also wrote a Bouquet of Barbed Wire!!! Girl was Beryl Bainbridges daughter, red hair and called Rudi something I think. Bought the book second hand last year and re-read it.Is compelling crap, not THAT badly written in hindsight compared to stuff published today. Spent hours with friends on holiday all trying to remember other people in it...had to keep looking it up on Google to find the others, can't remember them now...Morag someone??

Oh I remember that - loved it! And read the book too.

Anyone old enough to rmember Bouquet of Barbed Wire? Frank Finlay (swoon) an early teenage crush for me.

The bint in it (Susan Penhaligon?) was a truly terrible actress though.

Oh that is bizarre, I was just wondering last night what Rudi Davis does these days, and here's a thread about her!
My parents let me watch I Claudius turq...but NOT A Bouquet of Barbed Wire So, resourcefully, I got the tie-in paperback with my birthday book tokens instead

Morag Hood, maybe

Whatever happened to Susan Penhaligon? She was fab in Tales of the Unexpected, where she killed her H with a frozen leg of lamb and then served it to the officer investigating the case.

Might add I was in my early teens when I watched that!

Ha ha 2sugars EVERY time we have a leg of lamb I think of that episode, it was a cracker!

Rudi Davies. I fancied her a bit

Trevor Eve was the git bloke.

Oh yes, and I think of the Timothy someone who played Edward VII & is married to Prunella Scales (sorry - sieve brain) one whenever I eat honey!
Theme tune playing in my head now.

oh I loved that series
so intense and north london-y and crap but compelling and a bit risque for sheltered teenagers like me

West! That's the one.

It's so depressing that I can remember plots of 70s soap operas, who played hwo in what (even remember that the woman who was Princess Alexandra in Edward VII, now I'm thinking about it, was the other mistress in Bouquet of Barbed Wire), can remember all Bowie's lyrics from Space Oddity to Let's Dance, etc - but can never remember what day the children need their violins or football boots, or whether it's recycling or bin day, or anybody's name. Or anything useful or relevant, tbh.

2sugars: the frozen leg of lamb murder followed by eating it has gone down in our family as The Perfect Murder should anyone require help. We are always mentioning it when DH/DCs are being annoying! Had forgotten it was Susan Penhaligon...brilliant.

turquoise, I may print out that post.

To keep me sane It has made me Laugh Out Loud. Big time.

I loved A Sense of Guilt
HOw long ago was that on tv?

OhI loved Bouquet of barbed wire.

I used to fancy Pru's(Susan Penhaligon's) husband Gavin in that.

Re -runs of Tales of the unexpected are on sky saturday night I think.

I went thru a phase of Andrea Newman's novels - they are terribly intense and middle class, but compelling yes!

[spooked]
I was only thinking about this series yesterday!

it was broadcast in 1990

lovely Lisa Harrow, where is she now?

Blimey - I'd have said 1984 at the very latest!

Trevor Eve is so very much more attractive now though, weirdly. A regular fixture on the 'Old gimmers you would' threads.

where is rudi davies?
