Vocal Voices

Watched part 1 of this today and will watch the second part tomorrow.

It's a repeat and I'm glad I caught it this time round.

Really interesting how some of our TV stars had relatives in the Victorian work houses.

I've really enjoyed slobbing watching telly today as it's something I rarely do.

I've watched Magnum PI, Minder, The Sweeney, Mr & Mrs and the above programme.

What a lazybum day I'm having.

I caught some of that, with Barbara Taylor Bradford. It did look interesting

It was Kaz..very good.

Ms Bradford's mother used to accompany HER mum who was sent to the workhouse every time she gave birth to a baby!

Yes I saw that! They used to lock women up for having illegitimate babies! When they closed down the old long-term mental asylums in the 1980s there were old ladies in some of them that had been there all their lives just about - for being unwed mums

Those places would be stuffed full now!
