Having seen the movie with Meryl Streep I started to watch half heartedly thinking what more was there to say about Julia Child? But I am a great fan of Sarah Lancashire and have enjoyed many of her performances.
The series really is wonderful if you are a fan of the 1960s. It is very encouraging to watch a woman of the time who through her good nature, perseverance and humour succeeded in a male chauvinist society.
David Hyde Pierce is also a great choice as her husband as they appear much like the real Julia and Paul Child. I also greatly admire Bebe Neuwirth . Despite today's abundance of cook books and chefs the show still makes you want to go out and buy Julia Child's cookbook.
