Young Hyacinth

I lasted about 10 minutes. It bears no relation to the real Hyacinth. Didn't look or sound like her.
The man playing her father was a large chap whereas in the real programme "daddy" was a little runt of a man.
So don't understand why they made it like that.

^^^ Callbox charges work out quite expensive for the short calls which most people make, JD33, but (at 10p per 15 minutes plus a 40p connection charge) they can be significantly cheaper than using a home landline for really long calls.
A 1 hour call on the most basic of BT calling plans (other than at weekends) would cost £6.60 (because it's 11p per minute) plus a 19p set-up fee, totalling £6.79, which is obviously far more expensive than the 80p that you'd pay in a phone box.

>>> It must cost BT more to collect the money from phone boxes than they make from the calls, nowadays

I've actually got the best PAYG deal for my needs, Ummmm.
I only make one call every few months on my mobile, plus a handful of texts now and then. (I've just checked my credit and see that I've used about a fiver so far this year). My phone is for emergencies only; I don't use it for internet access as I prefer to use my netbook and seek out free wifi.
I'm fully aware that I could theoretically cut my call costs by buying 'bundles' but that only applies if I actually make any calls. Otherwise (since Vodafone bundles automatically expire after 30 days) I'd just be paying for credit that I'd never use.
So the basic Vodafone tariff (at 30p per minute) is fine for me as it's only costing me around a tenner a year in total.

I only watched it for a bit then found my attention wandering. Didn't spot much humour; didn't feel the characters looked much like younger versions of the folk who played the normal series. Turned over. Script needed a few more revisions, and more attention paid to the looks of the actors/actresses at the audition stage, before it was put on public display, I think.
