Afternoon Television
Started this afternoon and on all week WPC^56.
I think its great.It's WPC 56's first day at work after coming out of training school.
If the background music is correct then it's 1956 and i think it's supposed to be set in Birmingham but i reckon we're looking at the Smethwick-Winson Greenarea.Victoria Park was mentioned.
The atmosphere has a real 50's feel about it but the English are good at that.At getting the feel right.

Re: Afternoon Television
That looks good , I was only four in 1956 , we had a police station at the bottom of our terrace , my brother was always being threatened with it
My eldest brother always wore his hair in a quip or whatever its called, he was twenty then . I will find this program very interesting

You know that hair style in the late 50's when they put the brill cream on and brushed the sides back and the front was pulled forward , like Cliff Richards in the Young Ones. I have two brothers , the eldest 76 other is 65. I have two sister's , one is 80 and the other is 78. I am the youngest

My youngest brother was the naughty one , he was always getting into trouble with dad. He grew up to be a nice bloke and lovely brother.
