Check her out in the movie "A Room With a View" with Helena
Bonham-Carter.  She plays the tiresome friend always stating
'I'll never forgive myself' and is quite young in it.  Also,
"The Lady in the Van" and she's appearing as an older lady
which she was when it was filmed.

She's been a lot of movies.  I'm wondering if PBS/Masterpiece will
somehow manage to bring back 'Downton Abbey' as a tribute to her.  That
would be fun to watch again.

Do youse still depend on what TV stations choose to broadcast? Awwwww.

Yes, most older people in the U.S. still watch linear TV.

Maybe worldwide as well, but all TV stations that I know about, have
on demand offerings on their websites and then there's TUBI TV and a
whole lot more. And that's only the legal stuff.

 I don't know what Jill's setup is (and she might not have an
Internet-ready TV), but I wouldn't want to watch TV sitting in
an office chair watching on my 24-inch monitor using my crappy
old PC with 100Base-T Ethernet.  I'd rather sit in my comfy chair
in the living room where there's a 60-inch screen using the full
capabilities of my cable modem.
 

Oh, my TV is internet capable but I don't want to pay extra for streaming subscriptions or pay for "on demand" programming (although I could).  I'm certainly not interested in watching movies sitting in front of a computer when I can be stretched out on my sofa with hundreds of channels to choose from and a book nearby for when I get bored.
