I mentioned yesterday to A/F that they were doing another film up on the moors, this time 'Wuthering Heights', the lead is an Australian actress called Margot Robbie. She seems less of a Cathy then say Kate Bush's wild Cathy but on the coming film photos her blonde hair has changed to brunette.
But it brought back to mind the fact that the wild, bleak nature of these grey towns rounds here and the moors 'up top' are attracting a lot of filming. 'Happy Valley' was a popular television drama, now finished.

But the one that never quite got the fame it deserved was the drama called Gallows Pole about the clipping of coins in the 18th century. And the famous 'King Hartley' who lived up on a farm on the moors. There is a very good video from Caldervale Council, recounting the story of 'The Turvin Golden Daughters' I will put it below. Which explains the history of this dramatic time in English history. It sends the mind whirling why on earth did all these people, chisel tiny pieces of gold off the coins that changed hands.
And a smiling face from Glampuss as I like to call her. Just off to take her train back to London, moaning about gloves as usual. Will I ever be forgiven for not knitting that devilishly hard black mohair?

Margot Robbie became so popular here after starring as "Barbie", the famous doll come to life. So quite a change in character (and hair color) for her! ;)
ReplyDeleteYes the character of Cathy calls for someone dark and wild, Barbie seems such a contrast Ellen.
