The shock of the new. Mrs Bradley is set in the 1920s, not Edwardian or Victorian times. New makeup styles, new fashions, strange new hats and - bobs!

She's a very modern woman - loved her pinstripe outfit. Didn't love the red "hairstyle" hat!

There's a new Australian show about to debut which is similar to Mrs Bradley, except the lead is a sassy young woman. She has similar makeup to Adela Bradley.

Well, I would not have recognised her ...

Any idea where this is from, date etc?

The pose reminds me of something, I just can't place it ....

I've never seen that one before, either! She has bangs--maybe from the seventies? Maybe she and Joanna were in a battle of the poses?

I think I need a little lie down... blood pressure y'know, at my age I don't need this kind of excitement!

Diana will play Olenna Redwyne, aka Queen of Thorns (because of her sharp-tongue and prickliness), the wily grandmother of Margaery Tyrell in the third season of the highly popular drama series Game Of Thrones, which will start shooting next month.

The actress will be a semi-regular character throughout the third series of the show, which is based on George R.R. Martin’s best-selling novels. Olenna is a powerful, domineering matriarch and queen, who’s a mistress of the art of manipulation.

The drama will be shown on Sky Atlantic.

Here's a promo video with the cast including Diana.

I never see very much about Rachael, so it's great to read an interview with her. Thanks, Dandy!
