Even though its milieu is a long way from me, it had a warmth and a sensitivity about it and wasn't just mugging and shouting. I could do with a laugh, but hmm, nearly everything, a bit Father Ted will still do it, though.

Although criticised in Liverpool by some for portraying stereotypes, my 25 years living & working in the city can confirm that her personal and social observations were generally sharp and well observed. 'Butterflies' seemed lightweight at first but the character of Ria showed the silent war many women waged against being taken for granted.

Derby Tup Jan 2019 5:51pm, 5 Jan 2019 28,428 posts	Quote Pin Derby Tup A few minutes of Carla Lane’s wonderful Butterflies will tell you more about the human condition that a lifetime of Oxbridge old boys unfunny walks, plain silliness / titting about and pretending to run a bad hotel (imho obvs)
