I caught a news piece about this documentary and in turn, the life of Stokes on the BBC recently and I was absolutely spellbound. She recorded TV broadcasts 24 hours a day for 35 years. Imagine if she had been a member of this community! 😮

Has anyone else on here heard of her, or this film? There are no release dates so far for the UK but I can’t wait to see it.
