Julie Walters.

I apologise now, if you are a contributor abroad.

Did anyone else see last nights TV presentation, 'MO' with Julie in the lead role of Mo Mowlem ?

If any of you did, I'd be interested in your views.

I watched it and thought it was excellent. I had a lot of time for Mo Mowlam when she was at NI and think that Julie Walters portrayed her extremely sympathetically. I can't say I knew much about her home life or her private persona so I can't comment on whether it was accurate but I thought it was very well done and Julie Walters is an excellent actress.

Recently, I was having a conversation with friends (YES I have more than one !) about Julie Walters, and what we considered her "Best Part" (Down JR !)

I am torn between Mrs Overall, and the Waitress --- "Ready to order sir ?"

Educating Rita was particularly good, but what have others to offer, in the Pantheon of Performances ?

The waitress curls me up, and I also loved Petula in "dinnerladies", you could practically smell her.

Yes -- of course Petula, and her imaginary "Affaires" with the famous !
(We should not forget her life-long friend --- who wrote the script, -- another favourite of mine, and a brilliant Pianist ! )
