Review of Housewife, 49

I enjoyed this drama very much. The language , turn of phrases, and mores were of their time . Many wartime dramas are ruined by bad research and a tendency to modernise the script to 'make it appeal to the younger folk' a habit I abhor but seen a lot in the 70's and 80's.. One suspected that the son was 'gay' (a term never used in this context at the time) and I thought oh, here we go, they are making it trendy, but Nellas incomprehension when her Son tells her that the love of his life was a sailor (Fleet Air Arm) killed in action shows. These things were 'never discussed ' in polite circles in those days. Very good, historically accurate drama.
