I enjoyed the book immensely and usually TV programs fail to meet my expectations...not this one.
Miranda Hart is absolutely spot on for the part of Chummy.
If you haven't watched this series yet.......I implore you....please settle down to an hour of enjoyment next Sunday....BBC1 8pm.

When I watched it, I was wondering if you, and Lettie, were watching it too, and what you thought.
Glad you approve. I think it's very good.
Seems odd, describing something set in the mid-fifties as 'period'. Things have changed, but it's not that long ago. These young midwifes would have helped train you, fifteen or so years later.
Haven't read the books, but will now.
Heard there was some criticism, from people saying the east end wasn't that grim.
Perhaps it wasn't if you were one of two children.
Different story if you were one of fourteen, with a dad who liked a pint or ten, on the way home from the docks.
Miranda Hart was fabulous as Chummy. Deserving of some prize, I think.
