The changing face of the East End

It's worth watching, funny, sad and also reminded people of a different life there in the 50s/60s.

I was born in the heart of Birmingham and I remember my mum saying how Handsworth Wood was changing and we moved 25 miles away. I still think fondly of my early years there.

I will ha e to watch that on catch up. I grew up in the East end in tbe 50s it was a pretty grim place then.

Yes, H and I watched it. He's a North London boy. It's not just the East ender's that are moving out. He and his sisters and a lot of his friends have too but it's as much for financial reasons as the multi culture.
I agree it gave a pretty balanced view. There was talk of "our own. kind" though and not wanting daughters to bring home someone who wasn't white British
