Maybe Spoiler I had no intention of watching this drama but l had fallen asleep and woke up just after it had started and stayed with it, what a wonderful piece of writing this play was by the star Victoria Wood and what a great bit acting by the same lady, as Nella she shows fun, sadness, joy, upset all in the space of a few minutes, as the war goes on she becomes more and more her own woman, David Thewlis was superb as Nellas staid husband, the impression one gets is that they don't love each other but just stay together, then there is Cliff, Nellas son who turns out to be gay but you never are told that it was the great acting and script that leaves it to yourself to imagine, there was the nosey neighbour, the posh WRVS ladies, and the sets showing WWll bombed houses, all in all a great piece of television and l give it 9/10
