Glory days
This episode captures the extraordinary feeling of joy that must have exploded in the UK (and Europe) in May 1945, when the end of WWII was announced.
No better time to be young and free and Margaret was eager to take advantage of the situation. According to this fanciful version of the events, even Elizabeth was.
Back to the "present" Margaret is slipping off, her bad behaviour is catching up with her, too much smoking and boozing. However, one cannot help but feel a bit for her, but especially for "Lilibeth" who's reached that time of life when your childhood companions start to disappear.
When life starts slipping by maybe you start to realise that all it's made of is happy memories and maybe some regrets.
So far my favourite episode, as most of those featuring Margaret. Regardless of what sort of person she was in real life in this series she shines in each.
