New series starts this evening, so with no big debate, no negative comments.......just a simple yes or no will suffice, will you be watching?
I will!

That sounds like a cheery read. I am afraid I am a bit squeamish these days. I avoid anything referring to Aleppo for example.

I watched Call the Midwife last night as usual. I didn't think they got the tone of the 60s right last night. I remember a lot more hateful, vitriolic behaviour and sneering at gay people. The cast were so kind and understanding, a reaction from 2021 not 1966.

I agree LullyDully.

Don’t think back in 1966, 55 years ago now, the attitudes to homosexuality were as understanding as portrayed in CTM.

I started Nursing in London in 1966,homosexuality was well accepted in Medical circles.

Never watched the programme but recently reread Jennifer Worth's books on which the programme was based. In the last book " Farewell to the East End " she tell you what happened to all the characters she worked with like Chummy . That was very interesting .

I think they were among the educated young (me). Less so among the generation before me.
