->''I have a bit of an issue with Carole Ann Ford and I make no secret of it. I dislike actors who forget what makes them famous in the first place and then go on to [[CreatorBacklash slag said programme off]]...I wonder if she ever stopped to think that perhaps it wasn’t the success of the show and the paucity of the character that sabotaged her career but simply that she isn’t a particularly good actress, because that sounds like a far more convincing argument from where I’m standing. Saying that, she does everything that is required of her here, but considering that is to act out a completely non entity who blends in with the crowd Ford is more than up to the task.''
