A bit different tonight still liked it, I suppose they can't keep having parties. Loved the way he rolled under the rug :-D skinny isn't he, she would nake three or maybe four of him.

I went to an Ann Summers party with my daughter in about 1999, and I was aghast at what she bought! :-0 :-D :-D ;-)

No, I didn't buy anything, but we did have fun!

ann :-D :-D :-D :-D

Not heard of Trumps jewellery parties Liz. when Pipadee was popular I had a few parties (also tupperware), then I became a rep for Hostique which was another lingerie party plan outfit. didn't make a lot of money but it got me out of the house when I had two young children, and it was fun. the clothes were much like pipadee. I gave up because I found it hard to persuade young mums with not much money to spend it on stuff they didn't need.

another Ann. I went to one in the 80s not really wanting anything. I got into the swing of it and was talked into buying something. not saying what it was but my husband wanted to know what was wrong with him so I told him it was for when he had a headache

Another sales pyramid that was active in
the eighties was Herbalife.
Some people became wealthy doing it.

I had a Pippa Dee party, probably still have the petticoat I bought somewhere lol I went to many Tupperware parties, and have lots of the goods still in the cupboard.

Did anyone ever have Trumps jewellery parties in the early 80s? I was a rep before and after my son's birth in 1982, nice gold rings, earrings, chains etc as well as silver and titanium stuff.

I watched it yesterday on catch up and I enjoyed it. I must remember to watch it next week. I have been to several Tupperware parties and I actually was an agent for Pippa Dee when my children were small giving parties in other people's home. I main reason for doing it was the money.

She starred opposite Robert Newton in This Happy Breed

Not a problem at all David, and easy mistake to make as the titles are so similar.

Sorry, I thought we were talking about that one

David, I thought it was only made in black and white. Loved the film but not quite the same as the series on TV. Mind you if they put it on TV again (your version) I would probably watch it, great film.

David, I don't think people are talking about the film you're mentioning!! It's so old I doubt they've ever heard of it!

I had the film starring Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard on a DVD B&W

Thanks Barbs :-D

I'm also looking forward to the next episode :-)

nudged up for Emma :-D

I thought it very entertaining

I loved the old dear sitting in the chair playing with the Stallion & her sons reaction

Never went to the parties - but will confess to visiting the local shop a few times years ago for hen parties in the late 80's - it was always done in good taste then.

I hope it will continue to be good .

Recorded it and enjoyed watching it later last evening, I will definitely watch more.

I have been to the A.S parties in the past, always a giggle and a good way for we girls to unwind.

I have to admit to going to two or three in the 80s in the Letchworth area. And the reaction was very true to life, first shock, then hilarity. Yes, very entertaining.

David, No not that one. that was Brief Encounter (without the s). And the content was a little different :-D

Just Tupperware parties where we lived back then, but the programme was easy watching with quite a few story lines emerging. Looking forward to the next episode. Funny!
