Has anyone seen the series? I've seen the first two episodes, and it's quite fun. Helena B-C seems less posh than I remember Miss Gordon being, but the sets seem very authentic recreations.

I do remember the Golden Egg! What replaced it, I wonder?

I heard a bit of this https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_radio_fourfm Helena Bonham-Carter talking about Nolly.

I had a recipe ages ago (which I made) for a Bournvita malt loaf.

Quite eerie.

I would have liked one. I did have a Triang tricycle.

It looks so elegant.

Thanks Lady P. I assumed it was open because they don't seem to be doing the online lectures they started during lockdown.

I thought it had been open recently? I don't live in Birmingham now, so perhaps misunderstood.

I don't think I ever went there, but wish I had.

How interesting. The 'uptairs,downstairs' type of division is a bit shocking.

It sounds fabulous.

I read it a long time ago, when books like this were available in public libraries.

There's a very short clip here https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a42131869/helena-bonham-carter-nolly-first-look/

Was it Miss Griffiths, perhaps?

Mr King was still there in 1965 when I started, and I remember making lino cuts with him.

Who could forget Mr Chippendale and Mr Gillette?

Miss Windsor was one of my favourite teachers.

Mr Cherry didn't teach me but I knew him. He married Miss Windsor and they had two boys, I think.

Maisie was another name my cousin used to mention. I can't remember when Audrey retired, but probably in the 1980s. At her funeral several years ago I met Emily (I think it was Emily).
