Happy birthday Jeremy

[mightymads]

This is a wonderful interview with Prim Hardwicke, Edward Hardwicke’s wife, posted on September 30, 2020. Prim talks about Edward and Jeremy and their friendship, sharing sweet and sometimes poignant memories (when she reminisces about Jeremy’s illness). But it’s such a pleasure to listen about behind-the-scenes things of the Granada series, about Edward’s gentleness and Jeremy’s joy of life!

Here’s one of her stories about Jeremy:

“I remember he was having lunch with us one day in our back garden. It was a lovely sunny day, and our next door neighbour decided to mow the lawn rather loudly, so we couldn’t hear ourselves. Jeremy leapt to his feet and shrieked over the top of the hedge, “Darling! Darling! I’m sure your garden’s absolutely lovely, but could you not mow your lawn at the moment?” There was dead silence on the other side, and then the sound of the door banging. I don’t think he [the neighbour] had ever been called ‘darling’ before by a man. He was fairly taken aback.”

Thanks so much for sharing this! It was really a lovely interview and it helped me find some calm when I was stressing about the election last night. A welcome gift!
