Fascinating programme on Marianne Faithfull. 'Bare bones' of Hitler's regime and it's effects on people. |

I agree, Maggie. And I could just listen to her lovely speaking voice for a lot longer. |

The content was very interesting, but, call me shallow, I was really put off by the putting on/taking off of Marianne's specs. |

She should have contact lenses, BC. |

I am also going on to pick up on BC shallowness too ...Marianne leather trousers at your age love NO ! Even in Berlin. :-( And though she may of had the sweetest if not perfect singing voice when she was 19 she certainly hasnt now, too deep and ravaged she sounded like an aging music hall drag act. * Meeeeeeeowwwww * |

She's sounded like that for years though. I must admit being younger than some of you I wasn't really aware of Marianne Faithfull in her hey day ;-) 'There's a little bird' was the only influence she had on me...and much later, with the husky voice in evidence 'The ballad of Lucy Jordan'. |

:-D @ Rose. I thought she was great and thoroughly enjoyed the programme. I have to agree with BC about the taking on and off of her specs though - why didn't she just leave them on? |

Well, I think all you ladies look beautiful and natural. And, in case of a couple, very young. Now to find my glasses :-S ;-) |

Just a thought....if you watched Anne Robinson on Watchdog which was on the programme before you would see what plastic surgery,Botox etc can do...don't think she looks better for it with her scraggy neck. |

It may be conceit why women (and men) put on and take off glasses when speaking to someone. It might be simple respect. |

I do not wear glasses as a regular thing, but have a pair. I can see the TV clearer with them on but cannot see the computer screen and as I do these things at the same time it gets awkward. |

I didn't care for last nights programme either, & like Jax I thought we were never going to see anything about her Ancestors, too much time was spent at the start of the programme talking about her & what she got up to in her early years! |

It does not matter how anyone looks - the programme was fancinating slant on the war history which I enjoyed. |

Roger. It was a good point, but you perhaps were a bit short and "get a life" does not go down well. Mainly because many of us do need to get a life (I certainly do more and more. :-( |
