I'd never heard of this series before and am so glad to have come across it. I am wholeheartedly with Fiona Stevenson when she writes that there is a feeling of sadness when we see Helen McCrory so vibrant, so talented knowing that she's no longer with us.
Amazing to see where some of these actors are now in 2016 and how they've developed their acting careers. Kevin McKidd from baby hugging to Rome comes to mind.
Those horsehair barrister wigs are pretty pricey. No one in his or her right mind would toss it into the rubbish bin. I think Ede & Ravenscroft charged me about £550 more than 25 years ago -- and add another £150 for that little oval storage tin. The silk (QC) barrister gown was right at £900 -- not including the red damask bag, or the charge for monogramming my initials on it. Collars and tabs aren't cheap either. There is a surprising resale market for used barrister wigs because one never wants to appear in a brand new wig. That instantly marks one as a presumptive inexperienced newbie, something curiously incongruous for a QC.
@@WelshRabbitFascinating. Not a Brit, I can never watch the big wigs, their own hair dripping down the back, without wondering what benefit comes from continuing an 18th century custom into the 21st.
There was nothing funny about it; the humour was in the prospective nanny's total obliviousness that her story illustrated a giant lack of responsibility, rendering her supremely unsuitable for the position.
"Good" as in good for their careers. And yes, lawyers do a job and do, because they have to as professionals, think about their careers. And maintain a level of detachment from the human misery they deal with every day. It may sound insensitive but your lawyer is your lawyer and not your counsellor, social worker, best friend or mother. And the ones who try to be drive themselves crazy.
I took it to mean it's a case they can prosecute. Not long ago, women didn't report rape: they'd be blamed or not believed, a matter of he said she said.
Loving this. So sad that Helen has since passed away. She was excellent.

The scene with the baby and the clerk (or whatever his title is) is one of THE funniest EVER!

This drama reminds me of 'This Life"
Gotta go with the judge. The Pretenders!
Enjoying ⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍💞🥰🤗
It's gothicly exaggerated, but I feel this is the rôle Phil Davies was born for.
My brother took silk. Luckily Dorothy Perkins' didn't prosecute, AND they let him keep the frilly undies he donned in their changing rooms.
Horsehair, eh? I'm sure there's a story for that!

More so if it was a whore's hair wig.

@@alainaaugust1932It’s called tradition.
I've gone off Alex. He has a gorgeous girlfriend. As for Stevie, she's equally obnoxious and self' serving
It’s obvious that it’s actually Phil Davis’s that’s self serving, as he is the one pulling the strings, and interfering in everyone’s lives.
I didn't get the bus stop story that the nanny narrated. What was funny about it?

Another good rape..? Shameful. Immediately left this pretentious, insensitive series alone!
