Anyone catch this last night? Julie Walters did a great job portraying her. At times it was almost possible to imagine it actually was Mo Mowlem.

I didn't particularly like Mo Mowlem, as I found her a bit "in your face" and unnecessarily crude at times. The docu-drama made a good point though, which was that she might have been suffering from her brain tumour for quite a long time before it was actually diagnosed, and it may have led to what she herself termed her "dishibitive" behaviour. She posed the question - how much of how her personality was in fact her, and how much was due to the tumour altering her persona.

It was a very moving programme, very well done.

Did they recreate any of the real Mo's appearances on The Wright Stuff?

Didn't see that. But at the beginning she appeared to be acting as a compere in a fairly crass amateur talent/karaoke show - don't know what that was all about.

I thought it was a good drama with a very good cast. Obviously we already knew the ending but it was very moving all the same. I particularly liked David Haig who played Mo's husband and the fellow playing Adam Ingram whose name I can't recall.
Mandelson came across as a slimy git. Shocked

All in all a decent drama, probably an award in it for Julie Walters sometime.
