WALLIS SIMPSON was having an affair with Hitler's foreign minister when Edward VIII gave up the throne to marry her, according to records which have been released in the US.

The late Duchess of Windsor started seeing Joachim von Ribbentrop when he was the Nazi ambassador to London in 1936 in the months before the abdication.

I enjoyed it and liked the way it was linked to the old series by Rose (Jean Marsh). I think it has potential.

I really enjoyed it, I am too young to remember the first series so it is all new to me. Can't wait for tonights episode!

that one.

is this a re run of the orginal series?

Pauline Collins was in a film yesterday about a ghost story.

time after time ( I think it was called)

I think it might grow into something worth watching, could have been worse!
