    Interesting plot! A few strange inconsistencies... in 1984, when it was set, mothers did not leave their babies outside in prams unsupervised, or let strangers take babies for walks, or let their young sons wander off with unknown 'friends'. This would maybe happen in England in the 1940s, maybe the 1950s, but not the 1980s.
    A good cast and the usual high BBC production standard.

      Yes it did,my son was born in 1983 mothers certainly did leave their babies in their prams outside shops.

    • @janebrown7231
      @janebrown7231 10 месяцев назад +3

      @jonsmum5552 Mine are a similar age, and all mums were extremely careful about stranger danger and would never leave a pram unattended or let their children wander off with 'friends' they knew nothing about.... I guess it must depend where we lived. This play was set in the UK, and my comment was based on that.

      ​​@@jonsmum5552As I said, perhaps it depends where we lived. In the places where I lived in the UK, I never saw a baby left outside, not once, and people who had children at the same time as I did (1980s) were over-protective if anything.
      It's interesting to note the differences.
