BBC series
Singled Out
A short (4 episodes, 15 minutes apiece) about the Spinster Generation that followed WWII. All have been interesting, but chapter 3 has been especially amusing. How the working girl lived, after the boys came back, where she lived, "The Bachelor Girl's Guide to Everything" (and what a girl should have in her pantry), the stigma of teachers and Miss Jean Brodie--and "Universal Aunts".
Narrated by Miriam Morgoyles, who has a rather Miss Jean Brodie accent herself. The commentary in the series is lovely, often taken from diaries and letters.
