Of course! No way was that coincidence. Mind you, it's not something Fanny would have said knowingly. She swore off screen but it's doubtful the 'C' word was in her vocabulary!
It's probably the only time in the day when he sees her not presenting this showy display. He can view her drooling, snoring, mouth agape. The peace and quiet stillness draws him in to see her at her most vulnerable. It's unattractively alluring for him I bet.
Julia played this well, I can understand why when getting involved in a family like that, how a son's wife can lead to the bottle and meds. I did feel sorry for her in this, and to think it was true must have been scorching for her to keep it together for Juvian.
Do you think she's aware at 4:41 that she's actually making giant banana cocks? Praised be that she didn't add two small halved plums below the pineapple rings to complete the set!!!
@edithlikeseggs I think he's just trying to fathom Fanny out. Strange the way she 'handles' family relationships; cold to the point of cruelty, effusive to the point of mania....
You're absolutely right! Fanny and Johnny met in the late 40s and were together until his death, but they didn't actually marry until 1977 because Fanny was already married and for God knows what reason, she hadn''t got round to divorcing, So instead she changed her name by deed poll to Cradock and lived in sin with Johnny until (I think) her legal husband died and they could wed quietly as OAPs all those years later. Fanny had lots of skeletons in her closet - she was lucky to be famous back then when she could hush things up like her pill popping habit - in today's internet age her life would have been an open book and she'd have hated that!
Julia Davis is just too soft, pretty and feminine to pull this role off. Fanny was an absolute DRAGON, men and women would literally shake with fear around her. And she loved it - she once said of herself "I'm incredibly rude, and I always get exactly what I want".
it was the 70's! Banana candles, angel delight, duck a l'orange ... 70's britain wasn't famed for it's culinary delights! :P
Apart from proper fish n chips !
Do you think Julia Davies put a little hidden joke in with the "see you next tuesday" line? She is too smart not to know.

I was thinking that.
no wonder Jonny was on the bottle married to her

The daughter-in-law comes across as a bit neurotic
Banana candles?! WTF?!
Do you think she was trying to tell us something?

Not a maternal bone in her body! Offloaded both sons onto relatives and didn't see them again til they were adults!
I’m not sure that Johnnie was actually married to Fanny Craddock. I think that it was a facade but I may be wrong.

@@glamdolly30 Yeah, it's interesting she didn't do this sooner.
I like her acting usually but she didn't get her down enough .. The eyebrows were the only part right, voice was too off
