I watched Hattie last night . Recorded from BBC4 the other night. Ruth Jones plays Hattie Jacques over about a 5 year period of her life ( early sixties) where although she is married to John Le Mesurier she meets and falls for a young and dishy bloke and moves him in to their family home
Wot a girl
The Eric Skyes part is awful in this tho
Ruth Jones played her well I thought , always thought of Hattie Jacques as quite a bit larger than Ruth Jones and Ruth did portray her as as an extremely sexy woman in this film, something that she was not able to show in any of the Carry on Films as she did not 'fit the part'.
The relationship between her and John Le Mesurier is also quite interesting, obviously a deep, great love and friendship but just not as husband and wife.
Enjoyed it tho
