Speak Easy is back! We've collected together a few comments over the last year and we now return to our own free and easy bar room scenario.
We had an interesting email from 'Marian Willis':
Was Lynne Carol Welsh?
Born in Wales, while her parents were on a stage tour there, but not Welsh in any other sense, Marian. Her background in the North of England fitted her ideally for the part of Martha Longhurst. We believe Ruth Madoc was born in England. Would we describe her simply as 'English-born' or 'English'? With various aspects of asymmetric national devolution, including the Barnett Formula and West Lothian Question, rising in public discussion, we live in interesting times. We can just imagine the topics being raised by the three ladies in the old Snug!
Anonymous asks: Wasn't the collapse of No 7 a bit unconvincing?
We don't think so ourselves. Considering it was all done in the studio, we thought it was great. We even got to see the upper floor bedroom! Probably not the best plot in the show's history, but it covered a behind the scenes need to reduce the Street's households.
Anonymous 2 asks: Do you think the Street has ruined itself? The constant high drama, trendy ideological posturings and the continued silliness (a viaduct carrying trams disappearing at the back ginnel) represent all that's worse in the programme to me.
Different times, different ways, different outlooks dominating... we don't watch soaps now, but we think the Street is certainly as good as any other from clips we've seen on YouTube.
Anonymous 3 asks: I think you can see the ceilings through the fanlights above the front doors in the Street now. Have the ceilings been lowered? This is not presented on the inside sets.
More soon!
