Housekeepers especially those like Mrs Hall who runs a small but busy household can be expected to be quite bossy. Not all households are like Downton Abbey!

I cannot believe a housekeeper would refuse to put a tot of whisky in her enployer's tea as he had requested . Instead she hoped he would drink his tea and go to bed.

I thought he was surprised there was a tot in the tea. She had made a “nightcap” so he would go to bed.

I really enjoyed it as well. Love the relationship between Siegfried and Tristan.
Excellent programme in these times of TV drivel.

Thoroughly enjoyed it, made me look at that time through less rose tinted specs.

Perhaps she was from Leeds or Sheffield?

Ooo that was very moving. True brotherly love.

What accent did the young Jewish evacuee have? I was expecting a London cockney type accent.

A real tear jerker, beautiful programme.

Oh, it was, wasn't it.

Have a box of tissues handy.

Had visitors so couldn’t watch it tonight but it’s on my list for the week between Christmas and the New Year when I always have a very enjoyable catch up.
