| Has anyone been watching, 'A Place to Call Home'? It is set in Australia, although I think has an Aussie and English Flavour. I think it is really well cast and acted.
The first series ended before Christmas, with the second following in the New Year.
It is, I believe, a repeat from 2014 being screened on BBC2.
The era is set in 1953, when I was 7, so both the setting and costume are very familiar to me.
I love period drama presentations, including those which are maybe fiction, but based on fact. ----------------------------------------- ..

| I've not been watching it but it sounds exactly the sort of thing I'd enjoy. Just been and checked and it's on BBCiplayer so I can watch it from there!  |

| Hetty, I hope you can find a way of watching the first series. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Can't wait for it to begin again. It would be a pity to come in at the half way stage.
Enjoy! :;smile: ----------------------------------------- ..

| It's on BBCiplayer and so far I've watched the first three episodes of series 1. I'm well and truly hooked! It's available on iplayer for another 8 days so I will definitely be able to watch all 13 episodes before the second series comes on in the new year. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! Might get in a couple of episodes tonight. |

| Splendid! Apparently, it was screened in 2014, but I never clocked it. I love the storyline. Every episode makes me cry.  I just don't want it to end!  ----------------------------------------- ..

| Looking forward to this but I will have to watch this afternoon's episode on catchup tv a bit later on tonight as I'm having tea with youngest son and family. |

| Enjoy your afternoon, Hetty. :;smile:
We went to a family get-together yesterday (with my husband's cousins and families). It was a lovely lunch, afternoon and evening. It usually happens once a year around this time. Great for a catch-up and a bit of reminiscing. ----------------------------------------- ..
