Being a bit of a tart

I wrote a proper television review of the BBC drama ‘Hattie’ for the satirical website ‘Shouting at Cows’.

It was an odd piece to publish there, but I felt I had to write something serious for Mr Cows (serial kitten drowner that he is), even if only to prove that I can write reviews that don’t contain the ‘f’- word.

Ironically, there is one use of the ‘f’-word in the piece, but that was in context, being a direct quote from John le Mesurier.

Why am I mentioning this?

Because, in watching the drama and in the reading that I had to do afterwards, to check some details, I learned a lot about the two main characters – Hattie Jacques and her husband, John le Mesurier.

And I kind of want you to discover what I learned too.

I don’t know why.

I just do.

I’m not going to reproduce the review here. If I did Mr Cows would drown another couple of kittens.

He’s like that.

But you can click here to read it, if you have a spare couple of minutes.

Thanks.
