Mother Thames, OBE

on BBC Two England

'I could have gone to the devil very, very easily when I was young. I had quite the wrong impulses.'
But at 77, Mrs Dorothea Woodward-Fisher has gladdened many a heart; and to everyone on the river she is known affectionately as 'Mother Thames.'
Meeting Mother Thames... is an illuminating experience. Inebriating even... She is a great swell, a rip, a nut. Her clothes, her caps, her cigarette, her silver, her style, her soul are dashingly individual... (Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian)
