[Magdalen] Enjoying a colleague's accent

[Jay Weigel]

I didn't find Sunday slim pickings at all last night, what with PBS taking
us on a fun trip (al though FAR too short!) through royal fashion, the new
"Poldark", which is absolutely gorgeous, and the beginning of a new series
which to me was absolutely riveting, "The Crimson Field", concerning V.A.D.
nurses in WWI. That last was a little "Downton Abbey", a little "China
Beach" and a little "M.A,S.H." but still itself, and having read a couple
of books about V.A.D.s, plus being a nurse myself, I'm already hooked. I'd
also not watched the previous version of "Poldark" so this was all new to
me. I will agree, though, that "Wong Foo" is a hilarious movie, and that is
a good use for the Stars and Bars.
