Title: PBS comes to Britains aid
Product review: Just as America came to Britains aid in the 1940s, PBS has come to the aid of British fans of this TV programme by releasing it on DVD.Narrated by Geoffrey Palmer (from As Time Goes By) it features the Hymers family who live a "wartime experience" going through rationing, simulated bombing and other privations. The Ladies of the Hymers family have faces straight out of 1940's films - think Greer Garson and Mrs Miniver (one of my all time favourites). The children clearly loved taking part, despite the rationing, possibly because they played as children used to play - look for the go-cart scene - instead of being in front of a TV or computer. The house itself is a time-capsule and the period detail is spot-on. Only one minor issue - I think some of the original music may have been removed to reduce royalty payments.
