Kirsty? She seems about the only one who would be dedicated enough to making a good go of it.
Can you imagine the Reverend Pip...... or indeed the Reverend Alice......

Perfect people are in very short supply, so I'm glad they are exploring the topic with an 'ordinary' flawed character. And yes, Kirsty is the 'obvious' choice. (or Freddie in a couple of years?)

My incredulity is only related to the age of the character they've chosen, given the constraints that the scriptwriters really ought to know about.

Lillian and Kirsty are 'appearing' at Buckingham Literary Festival - see programme here bucklitfest.org and tickets here https://www.bucklitfest.org/events-at-a-glance/sat-15th-june/. But it's 10.00am so could be a post Parkrun thing?

Much as I would love to, and I have seen a picture of the actress who plays Lillian, I think it could shatter a very strong illusion - I'm still in denial about the play I saw recently which had Usha in the cast (well - it had a woman in it who had the same name as the actress and in the programme it said she was Usha, but she looked nothing like MY Usha!)

Gone full circle tonight for “Peggy’s” 100th birthday. Back to the old days of “educational agricultural storylines” for the common man

I can't believe she's 100 and has been in it since ep 1. What an achievement.

Peter Sallis chalked up 37 years in 'Last of the Summer Wine' before his death in 2017. He appeared in every single episode.

Lesley Saweard has played Christine Barford since 1953 [66 years] She was born in 1934 according to most sources.
