EndedScripted showDrama, Comedy

ITV comedy series starring Anne Reid and Maureen Lipman as pensioner pen-pals Irene and Vera. A tipsy under-the-table conversation at a wedding sparks a long-distance correspondence peppered with ironically self-revelatory descriptions of fractious families, misdirected romance and personal misfortune. But despite its undercurrent of animosity and one-upmanship, the correspondence is a lifeline for both women who in reality feel lonely and taken for granted by their descendants.

Episode Ten

Despite the occasional cup of marijuana tea, Irene barely controls her irritation at Vera’s bossy interventions: has she forgotten that Irene has her own house back in England, thank you very much! She will be flying back to Blighty shortly, to mastermind the catering for Karen and St John’s wedding. Brian and Lesley - her daughter - are moving in together, so Vera’s suggestion that Irene bring Lesley’s daughter Cheryl Marie with her is completely out of order! Perhaps they should both focus on the up-coming Olympics - get healthy, concentrate on team efforts. Vera is outraged and informs Irene that she is considering legal action against her for theft of her daughter’s affections and for slander. She’d also like to point out that St John is poor as a church mouse and lives in a ‘bothy’, and that she’s busy on the day of the proposed wedding. Irene -now back in England - points out that Vera’s solicitor - Agabatha of the Astarte - is almost certainly a fake, that St John’s 12 bedroomed house (where Vera is welcome to live) is called the Bothy as a joke, and that Karen is willing to change the date of the wedding so that Vera can go. Vera succumbs, and moves into The Bothy. She and Irene fall to arguing about food for the wedding reception, what they might wear, and the wisdom of Vera’s involvement with the Astarte tribe. Jesus intervenes to prevent a new falling out, and inspired by the Olympic motto -’citius, altius fortius’ - the two ladies have a rattling good time at Karen and St John’s wedding

The Real Housewives of Potomac

Just up the river from our nation's capital lies a hidden gem—Potomac, Maryland. Its rolling hills, gated mansions, sophisticated prep schools, and exclusive country clubs all serve to keep the area invitation-only. Sprinkled throughout this community are a handful of old-line, wealthy African-American families who have historically broken racial barriers to provide a life of privilege for their children. The Real Housewives of Potomac follows the upscale lives of six intriguing, well-to-do women: Gizelle Bryant, Katie Rost, Karen Huger, Charrisse Jackson-Jordan, Robyn Dixon, and Ashley Darby, all of whom have fought for their places in this society by way of legacy or marriage. In a town where entry is granted only through class, pedigree, and lineage, how far will these ladies go to secure their spot at the top of this prestigious circle?

Upon arrival, Elizabeth befriends Abigail Stanton, a wife and mother whose husband, the foreman of the mine, along with a dozen other miners, has just been killed in an explosion. The newly widowed women find their faith is tested when they must go to work in the mines to keep a roof over their heads.

Wild Cards

Wild Cards

Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
