Bridget Christie is obviously talented and her character is portrayed very sympathetically. However I somehow doubt she's ever been to the Forest of Dean... the locals are portrayed so so patronisingly and also Bridget Christie clearly doesn't have a clue about how planning actually works in England. People don't suddenly start building roads or chopping down ancient woodland...yes the reality is years of bureaucratic wrangling, planning applications, appeals, judicial reviews and then maybe people will start camping in trees. It's a real shame that in a well intentioned drama to highlight issues related to the menopause that Bridget Christie was happy to perpetuate other stereotypes and half truths.
