Brilliant! :lol:

Unfortunately no. I'm not.

Wish I was though.

I have a feeling that the cast would tell me off if I did that! :lol:

I suppose good old Nigel would have liked to watch ARTE - they aired all four parts of "Lost in Austen" trilingual - English, French an German.

Well done Steff and Fiona, quite a scoop indeed. I had to grin at her memory of being recognised at a festival. Covered in mud and the worse for wear it must have been the last thing she was expecting. :lol:

Great interview, Steff and Fiona. An enjoyable read. I do so love the 1990s FF TV series.
