Absolutely first class performance by Margery Mason, and certainly not the only one she’s done. Another one was in the BBC series “A family at war” where she also was incredible. One of the actors whose place is much difficult to replace.
A sinple yet hard hitting storyline with wonderful acting from Margery Mason. While I'm thoroughly enjoying watching these episodes, I'm also struck with how good the BBC once was and how bad it is now.
@@BruceDanton-xw6eg Can’t be BBC. It’s us, we’ve met the enemy, they are us. In the U.S., after everything we’ve tried to achieve, it’s as though only the worst of the far right and far left remain. In fact this seems due to computer algorithms, feeding us material to make money for the media. If we don’t regulate this, we’ll lose everything.
I can remember seeing the film crew shooting the scene where the man chased the woman outside the store. It involved a department store in Widnes. Mum and I had walked down to the town centre of Widnes from Grandma's house when we spotted the film crew. A technician with the film crew said the scene was going to be included in an episode of Juliet Bravo. I haven't spotted myself or Mum in the clip but I am so glad to have found the episode and the scene.
After watching several JB episodes; I would have to say this one stands out without any doubt, in terms of both storyline and superbly consummate acting, in particular by the late Ms. Mason....
Yes, all Police Dramas are nowadays are Senior Ranking Detectives with troubled pasts going from one grisly over the top murder,rape or even rapemurder after another. This focused on the day to day troubles of policing a rural community
@@fodapvone8767 Ah, "A Touch of Frost"...a classic! The scruffy DI who cares nothing for red tape and Force Politics, just seeing that the world's alright! If you want to almost be Frost, you can actually buy a replica of his Warrant Card off eBay
I am really only going to repeat what many have already said. Nevertheless, I have decided to leave the comment, just in case the family and relatives of the late Marjery Mason, should view and read these comments. I hope that they would appreciate yet another comment that pays tribute to her superb acting, that really makes this episode so poignant and powerful.
Now this is a truly cracking episode, The last scene alone is top notch acting Margery Mason is showing acting at its best. Well supported by the rest of the cast.
Wow! This was a really unexpected storyline, I understand retirement can be a challenging time but add to it a stringent mindset and it just really got to me.
Maybe so but her character was a lonely, miserable, busy body type whose sole mission was to spread negativity. Sadly, I've known real people like her. It is not a happy way to exist.
great and sad episode , makes me feel sad when she gets depressed and loses her mind . I agree with her as she just wanted things correct .. Could you please upload "cause for complaint " too :)
If you like Juliet Bravo you'll probably love this podcast featuring the two lead actresses: www.distinctnostalgia.com/posts/1kspa70awf4rl3qs075j4sqio9dkjm
I correctly identified the woman as the bullying teacher's nagging wife in the video Pink Floyd, The Wall (1982). She's "Margery Mason" as someone here says but I only knew her as Pink Floyd, The Wall nagging wife. Perhaps a sign of my misspent youth.
'Aunt Sally' is an old English game where sticks are thrown at the model of an old woman's head to break the clay pipe in her mouth; so, by extension, it has come to mean a target of criticism or insult.
Margery Masons acting here is second to none, totally believable and identifiable in so many ways. Television in its best era.
Very believable
This is probably one of the greatest pieces of BBC drama ever. Margery Mason is absolutely brilliant here.
Back then the BBC had the talent to produce quality dramas and hire the finest actors and actresses on the tiniest of budgets.
Yet the next episode broadcast - titled 'Gorgeous' - was outstandingly bad.
God that was amazing! Margery Mason what an actress!
Wow! What a performance! It had me in tears at the end. Simply superb.
Same and it takes a lot to do that to me.
No flash cameras. No cgi, No sex. No swearing.
Just cracking drama.
Takes me back to days when life seemed simpler and less pressured.
I loved this as a kid classic
Amazing performance by Margery Mason.
Absolutely first class performance by Margery Mason, and certainly not the only one she’s done. Another one was in the BBC series “A family at war” where she also was incredible. One of the actors whose place is much difficult to replace.
A tour de force performance by Margery Mason. Pity that TV drama is no longer anything like this.
She was a favourite with Peak Practice, for a while - do you remember that?!
Can they give posthumous BAFTA? She was superb. I watched this series as a kid but didn’t appreciate the quality of acting.
One of the best episodes along with ‘Trouble at mill.
Yes on itv.@SiLoJayLo
Wow! I’d forgotten how good Juliet Bravo was. A really strong episode with great performances all round.
That was a fantastic piece of drama. Blown away by Margery Mason.
A sinple yet hard hitting storyline with wonderful acting from Margery Mason. While I'm thoroughly enjoying watching these episodes, I'm also struck with how good the BBC once was and how bad it is now.
Indeed so too.

What an incredible episode. Powerful drama.
This was a terrific episode, the actors did rather well getting across some sensitive issues.
A good old early 1980's BBC drama well acted well produced no black and white issues sometimes there are grey areas in life.

Now that's proper drama. Puts current programmes to shame.

Maybe because it was David Jason...

The late great Margery Mason who died last year at over 100 years old.
Terrific actress what a great episode this was!
I agree with all the comments about Margery Mason's work in this, she was fantastic.
Powerful performance, love this series but it was extremely powerful. Made me weep for the torment in her soul.
SHE is wonderful; the best that I`ve seen her!
modern crap has to add smut and sexism , this was great programme
Best series... from the times TV was good. Mason... simply great. Also all the episodes have a super cast. thanks!
Now this is a truly cracking episode, The last scene alone is top notch acting Margery Mason is showing acting at its best.
Well supported by the rest of the cast.
A class series...
I felt so sorry for Mrs.Flecther getting a shop soiled box of chocolates for her retirement and the treatment after all she's done for that company.
well that was damn impressive! some really good acting! Genuine dramatic tension. And really like theater. Bravo!

What an incredible story… brought tears to my eyes. Wonderful insightful script. The Grace of God comes to mind ❤🙏
A woman of 70 playing a character aged 60.
Thank you for posting this series
Wow! This was a really unexpected storyline, I understand retirement can be a challenging time but add to it a stringent mindset and it just really got to me.
Margery Mason also appeared in episodes of A Family At War.
the actress margery mason turns 100 years old tomorrow (DOB: 27/09/1913)
she was fantastic morales shame they don't seem to exist much now!
Maybe so but her character was a lonely, miserable, busy body type whose sole mission was to spread negativity. Sadly, I've known real people like her. It is not a happy way to exist.
And the way we were expected to give toxic parents the benefit of the doubt. How times have thankfully changed
I love rhat Pentax ME Super round the neck! Ace!
so them filming in my own town nelson lanachire when i was younger in 1982
I remember that episode, filmed at the canal if I'm not mistaken.
Very powerful episode.
Harry Markham was terrific here.
many thanks for showing your juliet bravo collection. do you have any more in the series by any chance?
great and sad episode , makes me feel sad when she gets depressed and loses her mind . I agree with her as she just wanted things correct .. Could you please upload "cause for complaint " too :)
I remember seeing this one.
When the BBC did great TV with no political correctness.
Indeed so too.
I must disagree, this is about all kinds of “correctness.”
i thought it was mrs mack at first

I listened to it recently and enjoyed hearing about the two Juliet Bravos memories of the hit show! Wonderful!
Is her husband Archie Simpson still after Jack Wragg !!
HA HA HAAA !! A very young Callum Finnegan from "BROOKSIDE" as PC Gallagher !
PC Gallagher was played by Gérard Kelly.
It's in the end credits.
@@IN_THIS_DAY_AND_AGE Same actor, that is what I said, is it not ?
@@mistofoles
Yeah, Gérard Kelly.
Knew she'd turn, did you?
You reap what you sow.
DID HE BUY THAT TRUNTCHON FOR HER BIRTHDAY
FOR SOME OTHER REASON?
The shoplifter was in the pilot episode of hi de hi.
ITV robbed this idea for the Bill
That show was rubbish
Seemed ok at first but some of the actors...Mark Fowler I ask you
I correctly identified the woman as the bullying teacher's nagging wife in the video Pink Floyd, The Wall (1982). She's "Margery Mason" as someone here says but I only knew her as Pink Floyd, The Wall nagging wife. Perhaps a sign of my misspent youth.
Why was this episode called Aunt Sally?

@@keithbird8910 thank you. That is interesting
Electric dreams.
The husband character was a big mistake.
yes boring as heck
Seriously cheesy disco guitar in that theme music.
