That theme and series take me right back to the days of sitting at home with Mum&Dad, when TV drama was at it's very best (thanks for posting)

This was one of those shows my Mam used to watch religiously. I was too young to be interested in the programme, but the music stayed with me to this day. Thanks for uploading it. This piece of music contains the spirit of our nation if you ask me.

The spirit our nation used to have. Vaughan Williams hit the nerve spot on.

I never watched it as a kid, but I was haunted and mesmerized by its beautiful score. Then I would change channels.

I remember the series very well, and its theme music by Vaughn Williams.The whole household loved the series, which showed what the average family went through. during the war years my parents, grand parents and neighbours had lived through it, we loved to watch the dog playing in the sea in the opening sequence. It would be nice, if some of this kind of quality, written and acted series were repeated, Brian

Like popular music today, where are the writer's ? All the talent has disipated. Because in my opinion, most of that generation, are gone. They experienced hardship , and deprivation . So put their experinces to paper

Wonderful series starring the late Coral Atkins as Shiela. Really took you into the 1940s and the hardship endured by a Liverpudlian family during that time. The theme music was so hauntingly beautiful. Watched it every Sunday with my parents. Never missed an episode.
