She Knows Y'Know [DVD]

Product Information

It was said at the time that Mr Swinney had avoided a multi-billion pound reduction in Scotland’s longer-term budget. However, I can do no better than refer to an insightful blog, written by the then political editor of BBC Scotland, which commended Mr Swinney for his bargaining but noted that the problem had been deferred, not resolved. Sources tell me that the Treasury is determined to restrict the scope of that review to basic arithmetic, seeking to revisit the concessions made last time. It is what Treasury officials do, it is part of their charm. The collection is unusual in its nature - both by its survival and in being available in the public domain. Its rarity is reflected, for instance, in the records concerning the management of a touring theatrical production in the 1940s, by insights into the early days of TV performances in the 1950s, and by the fan-mail showing the effects of instant fame. However, although several series of records are apparent - the scripts, the fan-mail - they appear to be complete only for fairly specific periods of Hylda's working life. Either way, this is shaping up to be another tough, inter-governmental battle. Nicola Sturgeon is only too well aware of that. She knows, y’know. Joan Sanderson was great here as the opposing battleaxe, Marilyn's mother, she had such a stoic delivery, it's funny she looks as old here as she would thirty years later in After Henry.

He'd met Hylda, successfully transferred from music hall to television, at a show business party. "She looked all the way up at me, said she was going to need a feed at the end of the following week and asked if I'd like to give it a go. My attitude was that I'd do anything once."

Jean Ferguson recalls this edition of This Is Your Life in her book, She Knows You Know! reproduced here with kind permission of the author...

Yet again, we have Talking PicturesTV to thank for looking after this film, you can be certain it would be looked after by the BFI it were set in London or was by some obscure minority auteur. But films like this, which were once mainstream, if regional and working class in their appeal, are rudely neglected by that institution. It was Arthur Mullard and Queenie Watts, I said. No, said Pete, it was Arthur Mullard and Hylda Baker. The papers of Hylda Baker relating to her life and career are housed in Lancashire Archives, [15] reference DDX 1683.
