Hello Hilary. I am very interested to know your thoughts on the representation of "older" (hate that word but it seems to be the one in use but I mean basically 50 plus) people, particularly women, in books, on screen etc
Hi Christmas carol, well, I think it's generally a bit rubbish. But i also think that's changing now, as us babyboomers get older and demand more. if you look at recent films such as Le Weekend, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Quartet... there are quite a few out there, for better or for worse. Just worried the older people all seem a bit dotty and dysfunctional. Cliched. But here's hoping things will continue to change in this arena.
