A Home of One's Own
Once again Ted Willis delves into social issues. The redevelopment of post war London.
Housing estates getting knocked down to build shopping precincts. Elderly folks getting relocated miles away in high rise blocks.
Not enough council housing in inner parts of London.
PC Dixon tells the story of Mrs Binney an elderly woman with no relatives who is reluctant to move from the area.
Her area is getting developed and she has no desire to move to Wembley on a third floor flat. There is no space for a house in the vicinity. The waiting list is too long.
Eventually she does move into an old people's home. She seems to be happy there but there is a spate of thefts.
Mr Caldicott an elderly resident takes the blame after the police set a trap. Green dye is emitted from the next theft. Mrs Binney had a fair idea who the actual culprit is.
A bit slow to get going as it is mostly an issue based story on the plight of the elderly. Mr Caldicott's family only want to know him when they need something.
Look out for a young Nichola Clay as one of the cheeky youths.
