    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Shortly after the climactic last episode of Season 2, in which the fate of several characters hangs in the balance, it was announced that ITV had canceled the series. By this time, plans for a third season of episodes were under way and writers had already written scripts (contents unknown!) in which the cliffhanger was resolved - one way or the other. An online petition was created to resurrect Home Fires. It has just over 46320 signatures (updated 05/24/17).

    Entertaining and well produced series.
    I am currently watching Home Fires tv series in Denmark. I remember the Second World War very clearly and the producers have tried to recreate small town life in the 40's with a degree of success. However, I cannot understand why they don't have the scripts checked and get advice about wartime pronunciation. For example, I have heard two actors say 'skedule' and not schedule. Nobody said the American pronunciation which became popular during the 'Friends' long running comedy series among younger viewers. And the young lad on the farm greeting a lady exclaiming 'Hi !' This was impossible! Greetings were more formal in those days. Even so, the series is so well acted and I love the story line. I really wish ITV would have continued the series as the writers created many strong characters.

    FAQ2

    • In Season 2, a great many of the characters (both female and male) carry what appear to be rectangular cardboard handbags with a string shoulder-strap. No one ever refers to them or opens them. I'm sure these bags are something that everyone alive during WW2 would have known a bout, but they remain a mystery to me. Does anyone know what they are? 1st-Aid kits?
