Growing up in the 1960s, my mother viewed Joan Crawford and Fanny Cradock - and weirdly, Mrs Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor - as the epitome of the divine feminine. Fortunately, the NHS introduced psychotherapy into its arsenal of mental health services in the 1970s, and so I'm almost over it.

Benny Hill doing a parody of Fanny and her husband was hilarious, as was hubs enjoying it. Her dear partner really had the patience of Job.

A spellbinding piece of television.  Bravo

The genius of Julia Davis and Mark Gatiss is intoxicating , just watched this for the second time, probably not the last.

She was actually a very good cook, i hate the fact that most people view her meals with disdain now.

For a second I tought it was a documentary and I was like wow she is pretty and looks like Julia Davis haha

You have to accept how bizarre life is in order to take it seriously.

I remember Fanny Craddock and Johnny. This is fantastic i love it.

Brilliantly observed and a triumph in character acting from JD and MG. A great period dramatisation - much like Sheen's Kenneth Williams in 'Fantabulosa'.

I thought that was an amazing production the like of which we've lost so much of.

So much work has gone into this ravishing production but the sound of Fanny's voice is so painfully absent.

What a joyous find this film was!
Missed it the first time around, so thank you SO much for this.

Julia Davis is bloody brilliant

Thanks for uploading this. I love Julia Davis but missed the program when it was first aired. X

Mark Gattis is a brilliant actor

I was really hoping that Johnny's "And may all your doughnuts turn out like Fanny's" would pop up somewhere.

Julia Davis and entire cast are brilliant,  xxxx

You are a GEM for uploading this in higher quality.

Something about her appearance reminds me of David Bowie in the 70s.

What a brilliant cast! Thanks for the upload!
