Molly Guinness, who grew up in the brewer's Wiltshire property, Fosbury Manor, and works as an executive at Times Radio Breakfast has made clear her feelings about a first viewing of the new Netflix series tracing her family history. In an article in the Times on September 26, Ms Guinness wrote that while the show got the “wild family parties right”, she found herself driven to laughter and indignation on watching the show. Ms Guinness concludes: “So I confess I did have an episode of righteous fury, but I watched most of it in a vacuum because it was a preview. “The prospect of the laughter of all my brothers and cousins once they get their hands on it is a real joy. At all those parties where we only speak to each other, we have so much to discuss.”The show stars Happy Valley's James Norton, and Game Of Thrones star Jack Gleeson.
