Watching Tenko

[Pamela_E]

I am watching Tenko (and Upstair Downstairs) on Britbox.

I'm totally enjoying it, especially Blanche, Dorothy and Christina.

I'm about to get onto season 2 but noticed Blanche isn't in it.

Does anyone know why?

She was pregnant - she does come back, then gets pregnant again so missed The Reunion - timing wasnt great One of her sons is a trainer / performance coach who helps Bo Jo get Fit (ter)

There is a whole thread on Tenko from a few years ago - loved it, well acted and scripted and great cast

Here is @Mel O'Drama great and informative thread if you want to keep up with it

“Not exactly Raffles, is it?”: Watching Tenko

Private Lives meets Prisoner Cell Block H meets It Ain’t Half Hot, Mum with a bit of Lost and The Sullivans for good measure. Series One Parts One to Three I watched some of this when I was young, but remember nothing other than a few specific scenes. And I discovered one...

The Tenko book is great and Id recommend it

I had the honor of meeting Louise Jameson (Blanche) a number of years ago, She is a beautiful, courteous, intelligent lady. She played Leela in Doctor Who, and is the greatest companion he ever had, IMHO.

Ah fantastic, thank you. I should have known @Mel O'Drama would have made a great thread on the show.

Oh marvellous. I'll look forward to your thoughts on it as you go along.

(and Upstair Downstairs)

I feel guilty whenever this is mentioned. I have to watch it one of these days.

Thanks both. Hopefully you can cross-reference as you go along.

I second that. I bought it on BF's recommendation towards the end of my viewing and it is a great read.
