Fascinating and beautifully acted docu-drama

Imaginative production intertwining and examining the 'hidden' daily
lives of three 'ordinary' people in post war Britain, touching on
homosexuality, single women making their way in life post-war and a
housewife handling the less than welcome return of her husband. Not an
east thing to watch sometimes, and quite moving in parts, its an
excellent piece of social history taken from the post war
Mass-Observation studies that documented peoples daily lives in honest
detail. Sarah Parish is particularly good, portraying an intelligent
but frustrated young woman who has made her own life for herself but
has to make way for the men returning from war - I was very impressed
by the way even her physical movements and the way she sat and walked
was perfect for the period. A very good piece of work all round.
