I hate how they changed the dvd version differed to the tv version in terms of music i preferred this version they completely cut the cabbie music from the dvd and replaced it with something completely irrelevant
Just saw this and wow. She was amazing. Touching, so moving. Was wonderful. Great job all around. Never knew about her life (I'm only 22) but knew her face n carry on films. So pleased I watched this. Cried @ the end. Watch this if u can!!
An interesting programme, and I have loved all these 'legends of comedy' tales. I can't help feeling though that if this was for real, how sad for Hattie Jaques and John Le Mesurie, that this toe-rag ever entered their lives..
Jeez! Was this prog good or not? I HOPE SO! Never has ANY program EVER had the build-up and hype this has! SEVEN MONTHS AGO the media started publicising this as a "forthcoming attraction" (mags / interviews etc.), then to cap it all, it only appears on the lower profile BBC4 for chrissakes! Two weeks notice is all people need to keep an eye open for something. I'd been hearing about RJ playing Hattie so long that I feel I've "as good as seen" the damn thing anyway!
@SolidGoldKalashnikov It's more of a take on the fact that even British women in the 60's were just as blatantly sexiest towards each other as the men were. Kinda post ironic.
@SolidGoldKalashnikov thats why the Carry On films bombed in the US. The humour is too British and too 1960's. These days we seem to be more culturally intertwined. Although in the UK we are brought up with American films and tv so we are much more attuned. I still find it funny when I'm in the States and have to spell out certain things or do a really long sentence to make sure I am understood.

Great try by Ruth Jones but no one can come close to the gorgeousness that Hattie exuded.
