As a proud Rochdalian by birth I am thoroughly excited at the impending TV drama on BBC4 charting the life of our beloved singer/actress Gracie Fields. However, I'm in Devon without a TV currently (aarrgghh) so shall be watching the film online after the event. For those readers interested in watching Jane Horrocks's portrayal of 'Our Gracie', tune in to BBC4 at 9pm on Monday. For any Rochdalians thinking of home and unable to watch the film till later, type 'Lancashire Blues' into Spotify (if you have it) and you'll have Gracie herself, missing the land of black peas and clogs....
As an addendum, I have finally watched the programme on BBCiPlayer and it was wonderful. Highly reccommended.
