[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 349212, member: 23"] A day or so ago I found myself with an unexpected bit of free time and thought I'd start watching the [I]UpDown[/I] audio commentaries (my reasoning being that once I finish the series I'll be more or less ready to dive deep into another series and may feel less-inclined to do the bonus features, which would be a shame when they're so comprehensive).

Evin Crowley proved to be the perfect companion in hers because she was essentially "us", asking the questions I'd wanted to know.

She was told which members of staff were to be present and that they mustn't be stereotypes. Beyond that she had free reign). Jean Marsh's Mum - a cockney - felt that playing Rose was a comedown for her after playing ladies.
