Excellent period piece

The Hello Girls is an excellent drama series (please note it is not meant to be a comedy!) which brings to life the late 1950's in England. The music and the fashions set the mood perfectly and bring back wonderful memories for anyone who was in England at that time (my mum loves it). Each part has been cast to perfection and it is a series I can watch over and over again. The second series continued the excellence by introducing new characters and a particularly good storyline for Sylvia. Enjoy it for what it is, a program which doesn't require swearing, innuendo or jumping camera work to get the stories across. A family program of the old fashioned kind.
