When Mrs Bale is asked to be on a television show, she says no and explains:
You see, I lead a quiet life and I rather like it that way. Having your handprints in cement outside Grauman's Chinese Theater may be some people's idea of enjoyment but I'm far happier with a good book and the shipping forecast. But I am rather pleased to learn that I have a Plantagenet face.
Mrs Bale played by Janet Henfrey on As Time Goes By
I don't know As Time Goes By but you make me want to.
ReplyDeleteOh my, you will love, love, love it!! The premise is that a couple who was separated 38 years ago by the accidental loss of letters, meet again in London. It is the most wonderful show ever, in my most humble opinion.
DeleteI second that! I love, love, love As Time Goes By!!
DeleteIt is the best show. I feel like the characters are real people.
DeleteLove your friend Mrs.Bale! I thought she was one of the best bits about "As Time Goes By." And yes, that Plantagenet face!
ReplyDeleteCheers!

I'm so fond of the character that I occasionally offer up my weather via Mrs Bale. I've taken a bunch of photos of her from the tv and put those up when she is featured. She has an amazing face.
DeleteHow good it is to see Mrs. Bale again - and garner some of her wisdom.
ReplyDeleteSuch a dear character, and Janet Henfrey made her so real. Of course I watch it so often, they all seem real to me. :<)
DeleteI always look forward to seeing Mrs Bale here. I don't mind that she isn't on tv.
ReplyDeleteI laughed right out loud at your last sentence. :<) Love your dry wit.
DeleteI love Mrs. Bale . Still watch "As Time goes By " on PBS every Tuesday here in the States.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear she knows what makes her happy.
I bought the whole series on dvd because I love it so much.
DeleteShe is such a great character. Love your last sentence. :<)
I have always loved Mrs Bale; but if she were any different I wouldn't have been such a fan. Good thing the writers kept her true to herself!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! I never realized the resemblance! Like right out of a portrait.
ReplyDeleteLove me some Judi Dench, what a great way to spend an evening. Such a delightful series.
It really is so wonderful. I can watch over and over and never be bored.
DeleteI, too, love the series. My husband bought me the entire thing on DVD and we are currently watching it again. Third time through I think? We've also made a convert out of our 25 year old daughter. She kept hearing us refer to it and had to see what the fuss was about. Now she loves it too!
ReplyDeleteThat's so great that she enjoys it, too. It has a lot to say about life and love.
DeleteI need to watch that series - nothing like dry British wit!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd recommend you go right out and buy it. You won't regret it.
