This week I've been watching Bouquet of Barbed Wire, which was very controversial back in 1976, but I could not miss an episode then as I very much liked Susan Penhaligion, a great actress.
So interesting to see how attitude's have changed.
This was made when domestic violence was not a crime.
If anyone else has watched this recently I'd be interested to know their thoughts.

We're going to see Susan Penhaligon at the theatre in a couple of weeks - she's in the tour of The Mousetrap (Agatha Christie)

I remember my mother watching this, she would have been in her early 50s at the time , I was 18 and going out with my DH, We were shocked that she she liked it 😂 , I don't think I ever watched an episode all the way through.

I remember watching this, very shocking at the time, and I really enjoyed it.

Didn’t it have a hint of incest too?
