I was really looking forward to this, but was disappointed. Despite Sky breaking up continuously, I did pick up on the following: 1, The iron railings remained in tact, when they were taken to make ammunition (certainly in London they were). 2. People driving around in cars - when petrol was scarce. 3. She made a cake, where did she get the eggs, butter and sugar on rations? I was not in the war and don't know a lot about it, but the points above stand out to me. Maybe it was different in the North.

HI IZZY, NO SEX, NO VIOLENCE, NO BLOOD, NO GOR, JUST A JOY TO WATCH, I MUST ADMIT, I DID MY USUAL TV THING,...SAT DOWN WATCHED THE FIRST 5mins AND THEN FELL ASLEEP, ( HAVE PROGRAMMED MYSELF TO PUT THE VCR ON THOUGH ), SO I WILL WATCH IT AGAIN. PIPS XX

HI SYLV. HAVE TOU BEEN TO BRITTANY ? MY SECOND FAVOURITE. I LOVE THE PINK GRANITE COAST. THEN CARNAC. PIPS XX

Really enjoyed this, very thoing the war thought provoking, a change from seeing just the cheery way everyone was percieved to have 'coped', during the war years. The husband was the spite of my grandad, in looks, not manner! my grandparents married in 1942, this programme gave me a realistic feel of how things would have been for them. More of this, and less of that 'reality' rubbish!!!

Didn't watch the prog, but have to agree with you Phillipa, the North Devon and North Cornish coasts are just beautiful!!!! My favourite part of the country. Sylvx

CAZ, I ENJOYED THE PROGRAMME, BUT I AM ALWAYS INTERESTED, IN THE LOCATIONS AS WELL. THE BEACH LOOKED WONDERFUL. EMPTY, NO CROWDS...MY TYPE OF BEACH. BORN IN CORNWALL NOW LIVE IN STICKS IN SOMERSET, MISS THE BEAUTIFUL BEACHES. ESPECIALLY THE NORTH CORNISH COAST. PIPS XX
