Looks good! I do love a nice tough butch!
ReplyDeleteWould you have fallen for her back in those days, Debs?
DeleteHer hairstyle annoys me. Apart from that, I do appreciate a strong woman, so I'll be looking forward to this series.
ReplyDeleteThat time had the ugliest of hairdos!
DeleteGah! I still cannot get over how horrid the hair was back then. The character does seem spunky and quite likeable though, so we must learn to look past that awful hair so we can enjoy this one.
ReplyDeleteIt is almost as if they were blind! The ugliness! On top of that I've never liked Sophie Rundle nor Suranne, so it will be an effort for me, but I will give it a go!
DeleteShe looks like quite a character. It appears that Suranne Jones has done a good job capturing her personality and mannerisms.
ReplyDeleteIt remains to be seen, she was ghastly bad in Vanity Fair earlier last year.
DeleteBut... but... she doesn't look like a man.
ReplyDeleteShe quite does if you ask me.
