[Afamilyatwar-list] Episode: The gate of a year

[Lee Rayner]

The episode title is included in a speech we later hear on the radio. He says 'I said to the man, who stood at the Gate of a Year....' Presumably a message from either Churchill or The King. These radio broadcasts add to the programme enormously. Giving the scene a great sense of occasion. I remember also heading the tail end of a speech by Priestley. 'about a steamer and a crew that took a trip to Help but came back Glorious'. What eloquent, rousing speeches then and now. Compare to Starmer despite his voice coaching during covid.

Sad to live in a loveless marriage.

The episode I referred to earlier, about the 'baths ' . The actress playing with Patrick Troughton was Jessica Spencer playing Connie Edwards and they were great together. Harry's initial approach though rebuffed from Connie, you could see she was taken more by surprise. She liked Harry and was so careful not to hurt his feeling and to admit she was flirting but they both seemed lonely culminating in that tender kiss under the mistletoe.

Jessica was beautiful in that filming, Get hair in that style made her look younger and although I felt for Celia and Harry loved Get deep down, there was little in their marriage. If have liked to see the friendship with Connie develop just a little.
