Mrs Inbetweeny
BBC 3 commissioned a number of hour long dramas (6 I think) with the idea of making two of them into serials. I’ve only seen two, Being Human and Mrs. Inbetweeny, both of which seemed to get the thumbs up as the two that should be chosen.
Now I could go over the plot but I’m not going to, because that would spoil it if you haven’t seen it yet – it has been repeated several times including last night, twice. And you can read Lynn Jones comments on her blog
Suffice to say I felt the treatment of the part of Emma/Brendan was refreshingly positive and defiant allowing her to come across with all her associated foibles, very human. And I’m sure the ending will strike a note with a number of our community.
But, I feel, more importantly, how did the public view the performance/treatment of the subject – take a look at this forum. Very positive in the main.
And to round off this post, Christine Burns of Press for change interviewed Amelia Bullmore about the part of Emma/Brendan and how she tackled the challenge. For me, the last 4 minutes were the most interesting, but you’ll just have to listen to the interview to find out why. :)
