It was back in the early 1960's that June Richie and Alan Bates made the Cinema version of this famous love story set in the Industrial North of England. A tale of Love and Romance amid working class people in everyday working life. This New Television Series cleverly expands on the original cinema version, and is able to be still true to the book, as the lives of the characters are given more screen exposure. It is a very entertaining series and becomes riveting from the first episode. The story plays out in exactly the same time frame as the original did, and the same sexual values and difficulties that were part of everyday romance in life in those times is cleverly recreated. An excellent production, worthy of attention. Dave Cox

Brilliant to be able to watch this fantastic series in full again, for the first time since a Granada tv repeat showing about 25 years ago! The distinctive title music brought back immediate memories and it felt like only yesterday that I had watched it originally. Very authentic and evocative period drama spanning the late 1950’s to early 1970’s which resonated with my own youth. Picture reproduction is also high quality.
