Podcast Addict55 years agoMichelle Z- Grandma Guignol
About ten minutes into the first episode I realized that I KNEW I knew the voice behind Grandma Guignol - and it was the second time she said the name “Brenda” that it hit me: it was Anne Reid from Victoria Wood’s classic British BBC comedy series “Dinnerladies”. (Wood’s character is named Brenda.)
Reid has such a lovely and distinctive voice that she made it so easy for me to become completely absorbed in the story, and I have so many happy memories getting TV shows sent from the UK back in th... more

Apple Podcasts5AnoйUnited States7 years ago - Absolutely superb
This is one of the best drama podcasts I’ve listened too. Anne Reid is fantastic and the whole series has echoes of Robin Jarvis’ Whitby Witches books. Fantastic storytelling that is compelling, engaging and extremely entertaining!

Apple Podcasts5RedshoesonUnited States8 years ago - Good
This podcast is an adapation of the Brenda and Effie Mysteries from Bafflegab Productions. I've listened to the first episode and it's setting up to be a cross between Miss Marple and X Files... not that I've seen either . Very entertianing.
