CGiii Comment

True to form, Sunday night television delivers fiesty women, sensitivity and a great big dollop of nostalgia...for those old enough.

The lesbian story line comes in nearer to the end - it's handled rather well, dare we say with 'sensitivity'.

It's a touching tale...the father saying goodbye to his son - will have you in floods of tears.

Stock Sunday night TV.

The(ir) Blurb...

The drama follows a group of inspirational women in a rural Cheshire community where the shadow of World War II is casting a dark cloud over their lives. The isolated village couldn't feel further away from the impending bloodshed and battlefields and yet it is not immune from the effects of war. As the conflict takes hold, and separates the women from their husbands, fathers, sons and brothers, the women find themselves under increasing and extraordinary pressures in a rapidly fragmenting world.
