Couple of bouquets really. Far from being stale, this winter's series, set in 1960, has tackled some really tough issues (prostitutes with syphilis, expectant dad getting arrested for cottaging etc) . And bouquet number two is for the number of roles for older people. And story lines about older people. Strong performances by Pam Ferris, Jenny Agutter, Judi Parfitt and newcomer Linda Basset. Special accolades for last night's middle aged and elderly lovers, with Una Stubbs etc. Time we had more drama in which older people are portrayed as real people and not quaint stereotypes.
