Two wonderful British actresses, Miriam Margolyes and the late Sheila Gish. The Miriam Margolyes character who's supposed to be so enormous, is positively slim by today's morbidly obese average figure!
A man who says he doesn't find fat women attractive is castigated for being shallow. No - one Gives women a hard time if they have the same opinion on short men.
Plenty of people give women a hard time for not liking short men. If you get outside of ur bubble and talk to real people you’ll see the standard isn’t as double sided as you think it is.

Eating cute litle chocolates with tempting fillings is very additictive indeed. We will buy at whatever price sold. This story tells us God always help the innocent 🙂
Love how people are going "this wouldnt be made today because Woke/PC Brigade". It would definately be made because its clever and subversive. Because here the person is fatshamed but she is (unwittingly) the winner of the situation.
Roald Dahl and this episode likely wouldn't pass the PC test today, but perhaps that's why I enjoyed them so much. That, and Sheila Gish and John Castle!
I would have always preferred Infanta Maria Escalosa of Spain to Sheila Gish, who also resembled too much to Miranda Richardson's role in Black Adder. When the wife decided to go on the chocolate, I am sure everyone rooted for her. The atmosphere in the pharmacy reminded me on now rather forgotten series "Predecessors of Sherlock Holmes" (or something like that), particularly on the episode with Michael Kitchen...
Agreed, Miriam Margolyes was always a very sexy lady. Kinds funny she's supposed to be so enormous, when by today's morbidly obese standards she's positively slim!
Fat shaming only applies to women though. Its disgusting men actually have standards. The feminists better get rid of that. Wonder how long before there is age shamming, they got rid of sexual shaming a long time ago. Only trouble is there is nothing left for men to want. They will have a man shaming word for that eventually. Man shaming is perfectly fine.
does anyone know if this particular story had original source material or if it was written specifically for the show if it was based off something else what was it?
And so much for her pitch of a friend you could watch a movie on her forehead everybody has something they do not like but you can certainly do without friends like or her.
from a period when tv was made for adults.
I never want these tales to end!

Not to mention the husband and the mistress were supposed to be unsympathetic.

"Fat shaming" Can you imagine IF they tried to make this in 2020 ..
Ha ha...they'd be tarred and feathered...lolz

If she is 11 stone she must be 4 feet high, I don't agree with him but it looks like as if she would be heavier than 11 stone

Dall or Dahl means a Indian Yellow Pulse Soup with Eastern ingredients. Very Funny comparison!
