Thanks to all those involved with presenting this on RUclips. In my mind, I was watching a Black and White movie, the characters were real, I could see through Lettie's eyes, things she saw.....such Joy about having her own scullery (1.21./30) , and a copper to heat water for a bath on Fridays. ( my life too)., in 1940 . Excellent radio acting, and Sound effects. Thanks very much .
This really brought home to me how our expectations have changed. We live in different times, but there are still the indomitable ones who WON'T let life get them down. After listening to this, I'm so grateful for my tiny place (although anyone extra would have to sleep on the floor!) Thanks a million
Here's a short synopsis "1916: Lettie and Ollie come from very different worlds - she from a comfortable if unhappy middle class home, he from working class poverty. When Lettie is forced by her mother to work in a munitions factory however, she comes to meet Ollie, a soldier injured on the Western Front. They fall in love and marry, but life with a disabled soldier as a husband will never be easy." Cheers from Canada North
1978 Pemberton wrote the ninety minute radio drama The Trains Don’t Stop Here Anymore, which starred Nerys Hughes and was broadcast by BBC Radio. It was inspired by the lives of Pemberton’s parents. The play was followed up in 1987 by two additional installments, Don’t Talk To Me About Kids and Down by the Sea. 17.02.21 10.51am

This was so good. I fancy the detective/crime stories the best, but this was a gem. Great writing, interesting characters, plot, all of it. Lettie was such a positive person and a rock to Ollie. She sure learned a lot from her mothers’ bad temperament and attitude. And the landlord! Crazy cheap and funny! All in all, just terrific! BRAVO!!!

According to source Genome this was a Saturday Night Theatre production broadcast on 8th July, 1978 and directed by the late John Tydeman. Lettie is played by Nerys Hughes, Vi by Wendy Richard, Ollie by Nigel Anthony with Sheila Grant and Malcolm Hayes as Lettie's parents.
In reply to Simon, there's so much information relating to these dramas .... just type in "Genome" ....then the title and author......and the Radio Times listing is there, more often than not.....though there is the occasional blank....
In 1990 Pemberton was asked to adapt this trilogy into a novel. That book, Our Family, became the first of 15 historical novels, which Pemberton refers to as his “London saga.”
Lovely play, Uncle Chesterton......by the way if you're coming round this weekend...wer'e having Pea and Corn Curry....with Pork Soup for after's....yumm,yumm.Thanx Uncle Ches,lad.

The great actor Nigel Anthony Sounds completely different here in this drama i would never of recognized his voice. Sounds very different here one of his many great roles.This drama about the lives of some people during the great war A small peice of historey before I was born .I wasn't born during the war so I have no idear what it was like back then.good to hear wendy craig comedy actress In not in front of the children and Butterflies.
Man if these kids don't get a break I think I'm a jump off the Brooklyn Bridge. Don't worry I live in Manhattan the bridge is too far away. It's over and I'm happy
tubes were notallowed as shelters until the blitz, because the goverment was frightened the people would stay down there, meanwhile the government was underground
Good but her relentless optimism was a bit overpowering! It seemed to all work out but I thought he was dead at the end 😬 She was just a bit too Pollyanna-ish. He needed time to be allowed to grieve and she kept on pushing him into feeling what he didn't feel. A sign of the times though as people didn't know what we do now.
Such a lovely story. Sad too. Brilliant acting from a great cast. Thanks. Well worth a listen.

Sweet story. I didn't realize it was a true story but am not surprised.
The landlord's laugh is so charming 🤭. I loved this story very much. Thank you ❤

Made me feel a bit guilty when Ollie said hed like to go to the seaside. I live 5 miles from the Pacific Ocean and haven't been near it in ten years!😞

I saw them at one time. Can’t find them now.
#2 "Don't Talk To Me About Kids" and #3 "Down By the Sea".
That was beautiful
I couldn't agree more. A very heartwarming story.

Detroit Mamma ❤ Lettie is me so positive 🎉no matter what 😢this is a beautiful story
I loved it when the crippled vet leapt across the table to beat up the irish consci! 🤣 favorite part!
tubes were notallowed as shelters until the blitz, because the goverment was frightened the people would stay down there, meanwhile the government was underground

"train station"? no one, not ever, used that term, not back in them days - railway station more like!
Very true, we referred to them as just stations, or sometimes railway stations .
@David Reed: Absolutely right.
I think I had a big crush on Nerys Hughes when she was doing the Liver Birds. Probably one of thousands of teens boys in the UK at the time.
We never found out if their lottery ticket was the winning one.
I was thinking that Vi sounds exactly like Miss Brahms! Then I heard a the credits’
Oh to find a woman like that today.
I have.
Where can we listen the others parts?
A familiar refrain these days in most places. Sad, no romance on the rails 🤔👍
A new series to indulge in.
1st part of a trilogy? Let's have the other two please
Trilogy! If so, where are the other 2? On the hunt to try and find them! 17.02.21. 10.38am
When can we have the 4th part ?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Today we’d say Lettie suffers from toxic positivity 😢😅
Good but her relentless optimism was a bit overpowering! It seemed to all work out but I thought he was dead at the end 😬 She was just a bit too Pollyanna-ish. He needed time to be allowed to grieve and she kept on pushing him into feeling what he didn't feel. A sign of the times though as people didn't know what we do now.
WOOLWICH ARSENAL I DID M Y MILITARY TRAINING THERE
Shame the mother is so miserable.
Dreadful story.
