Days of Hope 1975 part 1

 Here. I am going to post this great BBC series by Ken Loach. One a week. My parents were particularly enthusiastic about this and I remember it was powerful. It is the only movie I have seen which deals with the General Strike of 26.

Days of Hope is a BBC television drama serial produced in 1975. The series dealt with the lives of a working-class family from the turmoils of the First World War in 1916 to the General Strike in 1926. It was written by Jim Allen, produced by Tony Garnett and directed by Ken Loach.

The novelization by Jim Allen which my parents had. I think they corresponded with the author.
