Swaddon must be young.

Father De Bricissart (sp?) was a huge *** symbol which was pretty disturbing given he was a Catholic priest.
Maybe why I wasn?t allowed to watch it
I don't think it was the weather. Just something went wrong during the last episode. I can remember my Ma swearing at the telly. Interuptions with services were frequent back then.

I wouldn't have been watching it, but likely to have been in the living room or kitchen, either reading or colouring in. That was the choices of a winter evening for kids back then, if nothing on the four channels or if the big folk wanted to watch something.
