MO? who's watching and why is julie walters doing her normal voice?

[AitchTwoOhOneOh]

i've been looking forward to this.

much more interesting to think that the bitterness was her true personality. or at least her not knowing where the cancer began and she ended.

Yes, the sister appeared then disappeared.

I don't feel that I learned anything about Mo except that she was extremely straight talking and called Tony 'babe'.

The guy who played Michael Stone was a bit stereotype crazy Irish guy.

glad to be of service.

Although, after a quick bit of googling, perhaps the Michael Stone part was not so far off. I had forgotten his name.

mrs mandela, otoh, is fab and on in ten mins.

I think it's the disinhibition that's the change, as bibbity said. Both the steroids and the physiological effects of brain tumours can have this effect. So whatever characteristics MM had that she might normally have kept on a leash - bitterness, crudeness, exhibitionism etc - would have become much more apparent.

Would like to watch Mrs Mandela but possibly not tonight.

I remember her pre her involvement in Northern Ireland and her apparent canonisation. I thought she was an arrogant and extremely unpleasant politician. Couldn't see the appeal then or now tbh.

(Len, going to bed now but will email you tomorrow)

Anybody know the name of that actress who played Mo's sister. It's annoying me. I have tried to find a full list of the cast but didn't succeed.

Ahhh, thanks Aitch.

you're welcome. i'm dynamite in a pub quiz.

She played Don Brennans gf in Coronation Street.

'he guy who played Michael Stone was a bit stereotype crazy Irish guy.' that will be some good acting then!

I saw it and it was DEPRESSING

I mean, obviously I sort of knew that there wasn't a surprise happy ending but still

And I had to sit through everyone dying in Lark Rise first FFS

I told DH that I really want a job where I can say "fuck" all day and drink whisky before lunch because whenever I do that, I get fired

Mandelson made me snoort though

I enjoyed it (but I rarely watch telly so the moving pictures impress me)

Yeah that comment. 'Peter, you're a dick' and he replies, 'yes, but a clever dick...' So creepy!

I forgot this was on last night.

Dr.Northerner, where exactly was her house? On the coast road??

I'm also from Redcar.

oh yes i thought mandy was the best thing in it.

I enjoyed it.
Showed Blair and Mandelson as real shits.
But then we knew that,didn't we?

actually i wasn't at all convinced by the 'tony is a shit' thing, i thought that was a combo of cancer and husband talking.

yeh I agree Aitch

it reminded me of the glory days when we all loved Blair

this explains why me and DH got through two bottles of wine while watching it
