Bouquet of Barbed Wire Q&A with Andrea Newman | BFI

[@AliSkarsgard]

My absolute favorite of all time. I have read the book and watched the original version more times than I can count. I absolutely adore Susan Penhaligon, she deserves so much more credit than she receives.

[@charleskristiansson1296]

Susan is a truly wonderful and beautiful actress and she was great in Dracula (1977) BBC with Frank Findlay too

[@NickyM_0]

Yes, Susan Penhaligan was brilliant.

Watched Bouquet again recently. As stunning now as it was 40 years ago!

[@MrMjp58]

A work of art: novel, TV, actors etc. An amazing achievement.

[@bluebeazley1390]

Indeed,why oh why isn’t there material like this on tv these days? Reality rubbish!!

[@kaygrundy451]

Andrea Newman ,or Mrs Nolan as we knew her was my English teacher when I was 12 and left the High school I went to to begin her writing career

[@barbarasteward8268]

The name is interesting, Mrs Nolan, as Andrea has covered her tracks well (don't blame her though) she probably wanted a private life.

[@nokes22]

It’s a great work. Very quiet, subtle and nuanced. TV dramas are now so full throttle, the interplay between the characters is lost with the fast pace of the narrative.

[@1904say]

Thanks for posting this TV interview... very informative and enjoyable.

[@artemiszeus9735]

Frank Finlay made that programme.

[@barbarasteward8268]

Would love to be able to access the series she wrote about Mckenzie the builder determined to make his mark in London. Linda Bellingham was in it too.

Great UPLOAD... (Entertaining and informative...) Thank You!!! xx SF

[@steveJ1957]

Cheers 4 the upload ....

[@ria1636]

Prue's flat was opposite Regent's Park.

[@barbarasteward8268]

Found the wonderful Mackenzie on here..alas..watched up to number 6 and suddenly the following six episodes vanished without trace...infuriating.

[@jacksmales4973]

I preferred the other novel and tv series Andrea Newman wrote A Sense of Guilt which funnily enough also has Trevor Eve in a lead role

[@michellecornell9308]

Love frank Finlay gorgeous good looking man

[@MsEightiesfan]

Great upload. Which episode is it that they watched that Susan refers to?

[@MsEightiesfan]

Shame Frank Finlay and Deborah Grant had not taken part.

[@citizen1163]

Frank Finlay RIP

[@AnnabelleJARankin]

The new one was good but does not have the depth of character study that the original does, very forgettable by comparison.

[@barbarasteward8268]

I was watching Mackenzie/Andrea Newman on here..12 episodes...got to number 6 and then it all vanished..VERY annoying...why? Where can I get the rest of the series please?

[@stephenconlon653]

I felt the adaption was much better than the book

[@amyclarke41]

its wow

[@j24601valjean]

Casting a woman of 26 to play a woman of 19 (Prue)?!! Casting a woman of 28 to play a woman of similar age to Prue?!! Casting a woman of 44 to play Prue's mother?!! Complete failure to make the various relationships credible! Wooden storylines and acting! Not withstanding the foregoing, I can see why this series has gained such critical acclaim!
