    This is on at 9pm ITV starring Victoria Wood who is ideally cast as the Housewife.

    It is set during WW2 and based on actual diaries of a Lancashire woman and a period of rationing and hardship that I remember all too clearly.

    I reakon a good two hour drama.

    Never mind that - everyone should be watching Zara hold aloft the trophy for SPOTY!

    (I may go AWOL for some time in that event.......)

    If she does win it, it will at least be a future sports quiz question; which mother and daughter have won the sportspersonality of the year ?

    Just for comparison, how do you compare the training schedules of Nicole Cook and Phil Taylor ?

    There was a book of diaries from the Mass Observation project published a couple of years back - it was fascinating. Housewife should be good the reviews are rave &#33;

    A favourite line from the film. After the excellent car chase scene.

    Could be a car chase on BBC2 at the same time.

    Erm, no it wasn&#39;t - he drifted like the proverbial barge in the in-running market.

    Well getting back to the original subject
    I watched it & thought it was very well done, it was billed as VW&#39;s first drama role but didn&#39;t she do a drama with Julie Walters (long lost sister thing) a few years back?

    I thought this was an excellent drama. Beautifully acted and written (by V Wood?) - I loved the reawakening of her character after a breakdown and the interaction with the matriach of the WVS. Her relationship with her husband seemed so right for the era and I loved the scene under the indoor air-raid shelter when faced with impending doom she wished she had opened a tin of pears whilst he finally expressed his very repressed feelings by saying "you&#39;re everything to me, you know" A wonderfully touching 2 hours not ruined by exposing her sons homosexuality - she really didn&#39;t have a clue.

    One of the most enjoyable dramas for a while.

    This was based on the true diary of Nella Last but I dare say some bits were for "Drama Purposes"

    It disappointed me because I thought it would depict the lower working classes, they were more middle class and my wife turned over to watch Panorama.
