To rave about this 2011-12 BBC series which we bought off iTunes recently. The Hour has everything – strong plot, amazing acting, beautiful men and stunning women, really fascinating female characters and brilliant writing. Set in 1957-8, the first series happens during the Suez crisis, the second during Britain’s nuclear tests and the rise of the fascist Oewald Mosley and his followers. It was very successful in America, not enough in Britain so a third series was canned 🙁 But you can still watch the two that exists.
(PS – sorry to everyone who got a notice about a locked post – that’s just for us and our neighbours to plan our trip to Tassie at the end of this year.)
