I didnt see the programme but I love the songs. My grandmother used to sing them to me when I was small it was the only way she could babysit us while my mother did her housework. She had been very traumatised by the Blitz in the East End) and did not leave the house or her armchair much. I remember her as a very old lady with grey plaits curled twice over her head. She died in a flu epidemic when I was six - she was only 64. How different life is now for us grandmothers.
This made me quite teary - but smile too
