I love any BBC period series and lap them up especially when I can watch them in one hit. In my opinion, Home Fires, was a much stronger series with great actors and great dialogue. The characters grew and you could bond with them. I immediately got disappointed first with the American segregation thing. "Not again" I thought, thank goodness it didn't last. Young girl meats Yank, falls pregnant, oh hum! I agree the last episode was good, damn, I wish that had been the first. A few inaccuracies. One with the detached retina. I've had 4 operations in both eyes and the second lot, when it was discovered almost right away, my feet hardly touched the ground as I went to GP, eye specialist and then the surgeon in one day to save my sight. I wasn't hit on the head at anytime, they just happened. The abortion bit, with the doctor from the makeshift hospital coming to save a botched procedure, he would have to report it. How did Joyce, who was a hairdresser before the war, became a land army girl and then a nurse? Did I miss her doing 4 years somewhere? Despite all that, I did enjoy the series and hope if not more to come, can someone write a book like they did with Homes Fires, to finish things off.
