I read the various recaps of shows after watching them.  There are often details that I miss or don't quite understand and it's nice to find out what actually happened!  In one of the ones for "Nolly" that I was reading I found this quote:  "It's not live, but it's 'as live,' so don't make any mistakes.  We cannot afford to stop!"  All I could think of was DS!!

Nolly
PBS
9/8c
SUNDAY: The clock is ticking in this delicious Masterpiece show-biz dramedy, with British tabloids abuzz about 1980s soap star Noele “Nolly” Gordon (the great Helena Bonham-Carter), as her final episode of the hit series Crossroads looms. Her producer is gloating that it could be “bigger than [the Dallas cliffhanger] Who Shot J.R.?”, though nobody knows exactly how they’re writing off her beloved character of Meg Mortimer. “Do I die? Is it murder?” frets Nolly, taking solace in the company of campy TV host Larry Grayson (Mark Gatiss), who urges his dear and despondent friend towards the stage for her next act.

WORTH WATCHING: ..., ‘Way Home’ and ‘Nolly’ Finales

"Hallmark’s time-tripping The Way Home and Masterpiece’s Nolly also present their finales."

Nolly
PBS
SERIES FINALE
9/8c
SUNDAY: The conclusion of Russell T Davies’ all-too-brief show-biz dramedy addresses the question that continues to hound soap-opera star Noele “Nolly” Gordon (the sublime Helena Bonham Carter) no matter where she goes or what role she plays: Why was she fired from the hit series Crossroads at the height of her and the show’s success in 1981? She’s now making a go of it on stage with intermittent success—her Mama Rose in Gypsy is not, however, one for the ages—but it takes a road tour to Bangkok, of all places, for Nolly to learn the truth, which leads to a confrontation back home and a possible comeback just when she needs it most.

No doubt that's why HBC is nominated for a BAFTA. May 12th will reveal whether or not she wins...
