I adore the scenes with Elsie & Ena especially the ones at 19:07 and 23:00. It's so sweet hearing Missus Sharples humming "Tell Me The Old Old Story", I have that recording of hers on the LP she released. These two really had a gorgeous bond, despite the fact they never always saw eye to eye, they both had deep care and love for one another. I'd kill to have an Ena in my life, God bless them both. Pat and Vi were the best and backbones of the programme in my opinion. Love them to bits 💗

@@londonlady227 Cool story how she clinched this role - the original writer based the character on his old piano teacher from his childhood. When they were searching for an actress to take the role on it occurred to him that his old piano teacher had been an actress in the movies many years earlier, so it dawned on him to track down the piano teacher and discuss her playing the part... and Violet Carson went for it...

I really like the scenes with Elsie and Ena living together. Even though they had a fiery relationship in the past and clashed often you can see they had both mellowed at this point and they've developed a fondness for each other. I particularly love the scene where Elsie asks Ena why she still talks about ''the old days, the bad old days because they're gone now'' and Ena says ''although they were bad they were very sweet''

In the years since Len's death, Rita has spoken of him as if he was an amazing, model husband. But watching these episodes it's clear he was a real brute. A misery and a miser. Rita was never happy with him during the marriage, and was always totally dissatisfied. Married bliss indeed.

Contraraily, I feel like she barely mentioned him. The trip to bury Dennis' asges show she never considered him the lobe of her life, they rowed because Rita was disaffected with their lot, Len was in a rut before he married Rita, which she knew of, and continued afterwards. Once he hit her, wrong of course but noone ever bats an eye to the number of times Vera beat Jack. Too often the character of Len has been overshadowed by Peter Adamson. He wasn't perfect, no human is, but he was, and probably still remains, the most honest male characterisation CS has ever had.
