The Bretts - 'The Golden Dustman' First Broadcast 28th August 1988

In 1988 I played Dulcie, a rather glamorous early movie star in 'The Bretts', an everyday tale of theatre folk in the 1920's. It was another chance to wear some amazing costumes and notable for a number of reasons not least my reaquaintance with Belinda Lang prior to 2Point4 Children (we had already worked together at Stratford East Theatre in the early 80's). There's also an appearance by Sally Cookson who went on the become a feted theatre director and a chance to work with Rebecca Lacey an old friend from the London cricket circuit (don't ask).
In this episode Edwin and Diana continue their affair, but Diana becomes more jealous as Edwin spends more time filming and dining with his co-star. Oliver proposes to Martha. Edwin and Charles agree to appear in Douglas Barron's movie of "Our Mutual Friend" in return for distribution rights for their cinema chain. Meanwhile, Lydia stars in "Strike Up the Band."
