this tv series be simply wonderful and for me it the best that i have see of dennis potter . i wasn not bear at the time that be depict in the series ( the year 1956 ) and but it be all very convincing . never be boredom funny than here . rectal orifice and indeed . wait and wait and wait for kim philby race forecast . adhere to silly ritual to make the time pas and feeling that the country go slowly downhill . it really a relief the series have under the circumstance a happy and uplifting end . there be many great character in this series and the whole cast excel themselves . louise germaine be very sexy and effective a diana dors lookalike and a pity she do not continue her small or big screen career . the most interesting character for me be uncle fred . i suspect there still be quite a few people like him out there . the whole set up at the house where he live remind me very much of 10 rillington place . i wouldn not be surprise if potter create uncle fred with reginald halliday christie in mind . i can highly recommend this series .
