November 09, 2020 TV Mums: Hatty Ashdown and Gemma Beagley
We are so excited to bring you this new series titled MUMS ON TV! Host Hatty Ashdown is joined by regular panellist Gemma Beagly as they chat about some of their favourite Mums from American and British TV past and present . Why they love them , how maybe they shaped them as mums and Hatty shares a cringing anecdote about re-acting a scene from one her favourite mums in a Drama school audition . Warning those under 30 may not have a clue on some of these references , so think of it as a education in TV mum history and over produced theme tunes . We cant wait to launch into this series as we have some amazing guests who have played mums on TV, written mums on TV or just share their memories and favourites with us.
