I like Lucy and this was far and away the best programme she has done. My parents were in the forces and their families were on the outskirts of London. It made me realise that if the only news they were getting was from the Daily Express (always their favourite paper) it was no wonder that they didn't have enormous sympathy for what the East End working classes went through. They were always very anti any sort of protest during the war while probably having no idea how people were living. .That poor nurse being lowered down to the crushed man! How do you ever get over something like that?

Just wonder if anyone else watched? I can’t say I like Lucy Worsley but found the whole thing intriguing and was left in tears by the end.
My. family were in London throughout the war, my sisters evacuated at first but were brought back when it seemed nothing was going to happen how wrong they were. My parents spent many nights either under the kitchen table or down on the platform at Kilburn Park tube station. The program brought home what they went through.
