A Family At War - Complete Boxed Set
|
A Family At War is a powerful wartime story which follows the dramatic events in the life of the Ashtons a middle class Liverpudlian family during the turbulent period of the Second World War. The epic series dramatises the hardship pain and tragedy that was often inflicted on ordinary families as sons were sent abroad to fight children were evacuated and those who remained at home lived in constant fear of being bombed.

A Family At War - Complete Boxed SetJanis
Goodness me, how well I remember this series. Rather like "The Forsyte Saga", it became an ingrained part of the family week, with all chairs drawn up to the television in good time for the next gripping instalment. Poignantly showing life through WW2, mostly at home in England, it aired weekly on Britain's Granada Television from 1970 to 1972, reaching an estimated audience of 25 million viewers.
This enthralling series was created and edited by John Finch (who also wrote the majority of the scripts). Producers were Richard Doubleday and
Michael Cox. The 52 one-hour episodes of "A Family at War" centred upon the lives of the Ashton family of Liverpool from 1938 through the end of the Second World War.
Splendidly written and acted, "A Family at War"
stands today as one of the finest dramatic achievements in the history of television. This link will take you to a website devoted to the series:
