Without a shadow of a doubt Home fires is one of the dramas of the year. Set during star of the second world war it focuses some of the families in a small village. It looks more so at the war through the eyes of the women, they each have stories, husbands and children having to fight, social changes, the Women's institute itself.
Beautifully acted from the entire cast, there isn't a single weak link in the chain. I particularly loved the scenes between Samantha Bond and Francesca Annis, they had some great dialogue. The series in my opinion was stolen by Claire Rushbrook and Mark Bazeley, these two took it up another level. Bob's treatment of Pat made me feel genuinely uneasy, both made it so believable.
Everything looked exactly as it should have, I love the hair and clothing throughout, people looked so smart.
Wonderfully scripted, beautifully acted this series was a true winner, it's no surprise it received such good audiences and was granted a second series. Who knows, this could continue for a little while yet.
score 10/10
