    Always liked Pauline Collins..love her soothing voice. I never heard of The Ambassador. As an American growing up in NY, my dad introduced me to nostalgia movies, reading, classical music, history and Masterpiece Theatre on PBS out of Boston where they play British performances. Have loved English and UK older performers ever since.

      I know a superintendent of schools in Alabama. They lowered the test scores three times so kids could get into college, you’re right. They’ve done away with test scores to get into college now.
      I’ve talked to recent graduates. It’s startling how illiterate some are. The dumbing down of America started in the 80’s, and has worked well. The lesbian who’s the head of the teachers union only cares about shoving propaganda on kids. When the senate reads school books back for grade school kids to the head of teachers union, she tries to defend it. It’s straight up porn. How to give oral sex, how to do anal sex, and this is grade school kids. Stealing their childhood.

    The Ambassador (TV Series 1998-1999) imdb 7.1
    Harriet Smith (Pauline Collins), the new British ambassador to Ireland, desperately wants to make her mark in this historically-difficult posting and try to put her husband's tragic murder behind her. She wants to be just and fair in her dealings with the Irish government and try to make the relationship between the two governments less adversarial in nature. The situation is made considerably worse for her and her trusted assistant John Stone (Denis Lawson) by her son Nate, who refuses to accept the consequences of her new ambassadorial role and still blames her for his father's death.
    S1.E1 ∙ Innocent Passage - imdb 7.0
    The new British Ambassador to the Republic of Ireland, Harriet Smith, arrives in Dublin to discover that the Irish government is accusing the British of sinking one of their ships in the Irish Sea. Smith partners with MI6 agent John Stone to uncover the truth.
