I quite enjoyed this one but (perhaps I'm being a bit prissy) thought her amused reaction to the discovery that Elizabeth was a brothel keeper was a bit shallow. She seemed to think this made Elizabeth a marvellous woman.
I don't deny that she was strong and a survivor, but at what cost to the women who used her premises? Prostitutes generally had a very short life and let's not forget that many prostitutes were children. This was definitely glossed over and she was made to seem a clever entrepreneur.
