The Worst Film Ever

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I absolutely cannot believe that this absolutely incredible series has been cancelled by ITV. It is a major favorite in our household and we miss it terribly.. so BRING IT BACK... and as soon as possible.. please... For anyone who as not seen it,go find it and watch. This show deals with what was going on in the life of an English village as the war raged just over the channel. A topic rarely dealt with at all in the media. It's the best TV has to offer so it needs to continue.

Series one took a little while to warm up but was very enjoyable to watch.Series two deserves 10/10. It had me completely hooked which is why I'm completely devastated to hear that the show was then axed. WHYYYYYYYYY????

I know that Bob Simms was not untypical of the men of that era, in which he expected his wife to wait on him hand and foot, put his meal before him, and even put sugar in his tea - that was her job! But I found the scenes of his bullying very upsetting. Although viewers in this day and age would not understand why she allowed him to treat her like that, and why she did not walk out on him, rather than cover it up, in those days she would have been convinced that she would have a difficult time getting a job and finding somewhere to live, as she had been so brainwashed into feeling worthless and that she deserved to be treated like she was, that she would not have had the courage to leave him. She could have got a job and somewhere else to live as workers were in short supply when the men went off to war, but she hadn't the confidence.The accountant who was being blackmailed into falsifying the accounts of war profiteers should have gone to the police regardless of their threats. Once again, someone was allowing themselves to be bullied.Other than that, I found that the series overall was very comforting to watch, showing time when people kept their ready cash in a tin on the mantelpiece, and when they paid a bill, placed the banknotes in an envelope. I was an avid viewer of 'Un Village Francais', which was similar except that the French Villagers had to cope with the German occupation rather than making jam and digging victory gardens. It will be interesting to see if this series also lasts for six years!

Well my parents lived in this era and I still have my father's bird watching books WW2. It was very different - even compared from when I was young in the 70s. The first episode was excellent. Based on a book I have not read called Jambusters (sorry) I know it has not completely developed into a mini series yet but initially, at least, all the characters were interesting. We like the war dramas and this WW2 period piece has taken over from the very different crime drama Foyles War, at least it has in our house. Foyles War actually raced through WW2 (well we thought it did) and then had to survive in the Cold War. Everything about Home Fires seems to have the depth of the late 1930s and by that I mean not only the colours, like lots of greens and fawns/browns but also the correct and what are now antiques but also the cycling, or running after ambulances and being given a lift by a period tractor. The simple plots, blackberry collecting for instance, surely reflects the pace of that period. Most important the authentic characters with plenty of good actresses and actors have a great script to work on. There are interesting men, at least one nasty one, in the series so it's not just women and the Women's Institute. It might turn out to be a very memorable series. Please keep that era authentic. It's absolutely brilliant TV when it works and awful when it isn't done properly. Just one negative thing - get rid of the blue lens which gives grey hair a blue rinse!
