Four film's following three young members of a Yorkshire farming family. Spanning the period from the First World War to the General Strike. Left wing working class history of a superior sort. Broadcast in 1975 (the 70s were a very radical cultural decade) Covers conscientious objectors, Durham miners strike and rise of the Labour Party. Excellent acting and very engaging script. I still found it a brilliant bit of social history so missing these days. Caused an absolute stink when broadcast lots of criticism from the usual right wing parties. It was felt that the series was too critical of the army Soviet and police etc. A landmark series. The best of loach (director) Tony Garnett ( Producer) and Jim Allen (Writer)
