I love this series, but I missed Fridays....does anyone know if its repeated anywhere? Annie

Ginny first of all can i say just seen your thread. Such a wonderful series what a wonderful family you are part of no wonder you are proud quite rightly so . I found out through Genes all my Mothers family were Irish settled in Liverpool four generations at least so it has helped me to identify a lot and learn. Hope lilys goes from strength to strength. June xx

My whole family are enthralled by the series even the men! Can't wait for the next episode. Linda x

Many thanks trish and everyone else who has complimented the series.

Hi Ginny, I too have been watching the series,enthralling every one, my family and friends,eagerly wait for Friday at 9.p.m. I for one don't want the series to end. I do hope there is another series. Congratulations to you and your family,for writing such an excellant story. Trish xx

Got the pic Ginny thank you.....

Deborah - that would be telling lol but the priest's family died when he was young so he is attracted by the closeness of the family. The storyline of Dadda being a protestant is true - in real life he used to make the priest stand on a piece of newspaper when he came to the house to show his distain for the catholic church - however he loved his wife who was a catholic and kept his promise that the girls would be raised in the faith but he would never set foot in a catholic church.(Fact is stranger than fiction lol)

oh how lovely . Lovely that the actresses placed flowers and lovelier that the sisters were so very loyal ........ what a wonderful family to be part of Ginny. I know you say it's loosely baised on you Gran & her sisters - but has the priest got a 'thing' for Iris? lol

Deborah it IS true. the sisters were buried together in Liverpool - they all married and had children but kept to their pledge and were buried together. At the end of the filming the 3 actresses who played the sisters went to the grave and put flowers there - it was very touching.

Ginny its FANTASTIC and rightly so you should be proud. Now I read somewhere that the 3 sisters were so close that they are all buried together in one grave - is this so? Much happiness Debi

I love the programme. I hate it when it ends. Its my favourite programme of the week. So glad there might be another series! Love Chris

Ginny dont do that silly charge peeps to see those pics. if they get in the wrong hands they wll be in the news of the world tomorrow pmsl they are great pics :-) Rosex

yes it is a lovely little series. I think the priest is a bit on the young side as I always imagined them to have been older back then. If that makes sense lol

Brian I would hate to spoil it for you but suffice to say I am here to tell the tale as it were lol!!

Right, gotcha! I'll have an additional reason to watch the next two; the arrival of your mum or dad (?), unless something dreadful happens!

I bet you are and you have every right to be...I shall pm you..thanks...cant wait to see it all on DVD....

There is a bit of dramatic license and the 3 sisters are based very losely on my grandmother and her sisters - see my reply to Brian.

By the way incase anyone is interested pm me and I can send you a pic of the real Lilies taken in 1924. (Sorry if I am blowing the trumpet of my family but I am extremely proud)

Millie it was the 6th of 8 episodes but the whole series will shortly be released on DVD. The BBC wanted to see how it went before commissioning a second series but it has proved to be very popular so we are hoping for a second series. Glad that you enjoyed it. Ruby, May and Iris are based on my grandmother and her sisters.

Ginny, I'm slightly puzzled! OK so the sister employed by a wealthy man I know was May, but his wife wasn't an invalid, she was unable to concieve - she went away for a while and in yesterday's episode was walking around; or does this show up in next week's episode, i.e. does May get a new job with another wealthy couple?
