And what it was was Maggie Smith doing a monologue titled "A Bed of Lentils." And I loved it so much and would give anything to be able to see it again. Do you have any idea what I'm talking about?

According to <a href="http://www.scotlandthemovie.com/movies/ffrankie.html" title="Scotland the Movie" rel="nofollow">this movie location site</a>, <em>"Dear Frankie was filmed around Greenock and Glasgow."</em> Mary, I'm sure it'll be mega busy for days/weeks to come. But I'm sorry, I should have made it more clear - the programmes themselves aren't there, just the catalogue listings. I would love to hear that version of Rebecca again, maybe I'll email the Womans Hour programme or start a thread on the message boards. Briggy, you’re right!
