Mrs Wilson was a 3 part mini-series that I recorded earlier in the year and I like the ability to sit and watch it in one go, so that I may follow the story a bit easier. Based on her grandmothers story, the actress Ruth Wilson plays her grandmother Alison Wilson. When her husband dies suddenly, Alison Wilson discovers that she was not the only wife of husband Alec Wilson (played by Iain Glen). She also finds out that a lot of his past stories were in fact lies, and she sets out to find out the truth for her and their two suns.
I really enjoyed this period set piece, which flicked between the early 40s and 60s as it told the story of their first meeting and early marriage and their life 20 years later. Ruth Wilson is always an interesting watch, and such a good actress, being believable as both the young naive 20 year old and the older more jaded mother. A satisfying cold day on the couch watch. 4/5

It’s interesting that the actress was able to portray her own grandmother who had such a dramatic story to tell.
Are you on strike, then?
Was about to leave a comment when there was a rattle outside my bedroom door. It is close to the unlocked front door so am quite terrified and the police are coming to check it out. It might be a rat as the weather is so cold in which case I will get pest control in tomorrow but I am as scared of a rat as I am of an intruder.
This film looks good and as it is 11.45pm I will see if I can find it on Netflix or apple. It kind of rings a bell so perhaps I may have seen it ages ago. We shall see.
Poppy Q. Is looking cosy with heaters and I assume electric blanket. I have mine on as well
Very tall strong policemen searched house and grounds. All clear. They were so kind . Must be a rat 🐀. Just as bad. Pest control tomorrow. Oh sweetest Poppy Q could you visit for a few days? How lucky mum is
