I bought the book a while ago and was very pleased when it was made into a tv drama. I think it was an experiment by the producers and they were surprised at how successful it has proved.
The books are very good, have read 2. I love the programme it's my favourite Sunday evening viewing. A friend of mine (1 TV in house) is "not allowed" to watch it!
Believe it or not, my DH loves this programme.If he can’t watch it it gets recorded and he watches episodes back to back. I find this odd as he usually watches sports/athletic programmes.
One of the few programmes I look forward to, but I agree with Bella, I thought tonight's episode was a bit boring. Found myself thinking it must be nearly the end when it was only just past half-way.
I enjoyed this evening's episode. The issue with Sr Monica Joan's eyesight was, I thought, very well portrayed. Her fear and the way she expressed herself, was so touching, as was the way Fred spoke with her and helped her to make the right decision.
I saw an article about her a few weeks ago.I believe she has had a baby or is going to have one with her husband who is the vicar in the series.I hope I have got that right.
She had a daughter a few months ago - her partner is the actor who plays the vicar. She talked about the problems she had towards the end of the pregnancy when they were doing publicity for the programme.
