Elizabeth is Missing

Such a good book. I’ll definitely be watching the telly version.

We plan to watch it. Our 93 year old friend has read the book and is urging us to watch the series. She says it will be helpful if she has dementia when she’s old .

Thanks Greenfinch for the recommendation. I’m in Spain till next Thursday night but will definitely watch it on catch up next weekend.

I read the book a couple of years ago and found it unsettling.

Not only did Jackson think the script was “remarkable", but the role also appealed because it explores an issue she has been “banging on about for at least a decade”. “We are living longer, and this is a deep black hole, which none of the political parties has really taken on board.”

It's great to see Glenda Jackson back. She is such a fine actress, loved her in Women in Love, Elizabeth R, Mary Queen of Scots, and she was so funny in A Touch of Class with George Segal. They were both brilliant. I really loved that film, do see it if you haven't.

I set it up to record as soon as I knew it was going to be on.
I'm pretty sure I read it ages ago.

The book was an amazing insight into the mind of a person with dementia.
Looking forward to it.

Oh thanks for the heads up Greenfinch. I read the book quite a while ago and yes, so moving wasn't it?

Greenfinch, I agree, the book was really moving, I’m looking forward to watching it.

Yes, I thought it looked 'good'. Definitely not light hearted and I'm pretty sure I am not up to watching it at the moment.
