Neither Irish nor a waif
by buttlekeswick β€’ 2014-12-14
5/10

"Not an Irish 'waif' - but strapping fine young Cumbrian woman played by an Irish actress. I remember Ms. Kirwen saying how she had studied the accents on Coronation Street in preparation for the part - ah but sure, that's not the accent in Cumbria at all, at all. There were one lass in the film, no doubt a local, she only had to say two words - He's upstairs - to recognize the accent. 'Tis one of the hardest English accents to replicate. The series was twaddle but entertaining enough. Engrossing for such as myself able to recognize the various locations..."

At the time, the storyline and the mildly explicit love scenes between Ronald Pickup and Dervla Kirwan provoked such a furore that the BBC banned the series from ever being repeated. Afterwards Kirwan let it be known she felt exploited and was offered no support from the producers. She said her decision to film an open air sex scene with a man twice her age in this Melvyn Bragg drama was the worst she'd made in her life.
