That Day We Sang.
The wonderful film by Victoria Wood about the reunion in 1969 of the children’s choir who recorded Nymphs and Shepherds in Manchester in 1929. It starred Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton as Tubby and Enid and was a delight.
Sunday 30 April at 6.00.

I’ve set it to record. I think Victoria Wood was as great a writer as she was comedian. I’ve not seen this before so shall look forward to it.

Signora Volpe.
I quite liked this for a gentle watch. Emilia Fox is very appealing and the scenery was great. I don’t think much of the hovel she is obviously going to buy and remodel.

Signora Volpe.
Completely unreal - but yes, an enjoyable jaunt in the sun-drenched Umbrian countryside. All 3 episodes are on UKTV Play.
