[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 353154, member: 673"] I'm pretty sure the bus ride is made up. It's mentioned in the Harty interview that she didn't watch her final episode as she was working that night. The pseudo-feminism stuff that you mention is part of a standard Russell T Davies trope - the monologue. Every show he writes, a character eventually breaks off into one. Stuart in Queer As Folk did one after being forced to come out to his parents, Richie had one in It’s A Sin when he ranted about not believing the various reports about the growing AIDS epidemic, Julie Hesmondhalgh had one in Cucumber etc. I think the bus discussion was Nolly’s (although her talk with cast of Gypsy in episode three kind of falls into this category There's a TV AM interview from when Meg returned for the Venice episodes and they are very friendly. I think Anne Diamond started out on ATV and they knew each other from there. That's sad to hear. I was wondering why she was absent from the documentary. So, I’ve watched everything over this bank holiday weekend! Nolly, The Real Nolly, the fire and exit episodes of Crossroads and the Harty appearance. Nolly was very good. The recreations of the show’s set and the episodes were excellent. There were lots of little Easter eggs in there for fans. The line about driving past Pamela at the bus stop was true although Susan Hanson’s delivery of the anecdote (in one of the earlier documentaries) tops HBC’s delivery of the line. HBC was very good but I thought Augustus Prew as Tony Adams was excellent as was Mark Gatiss in his brief appearance as Larry Grayson. As others have said too, the casting of the actress that played Susan Hanson was spot on. They looked so alike. Nice to see a link to the revival too, with the inclusion of Max Brown in the cast. There was a real warmth to the show and I think it portrayed how much people loved Nolly. Regarding the portrayal of Sue Lloyd, I’m wondering if RTD based that on feedback that he got about her when he was doing his research? The Real Nolly was good too. A nice mix of talking heads although a lot of it had been covered already in The Unforgettable episode. [/QUOTE]
