Review of Howards' Way

Sunday night ..winter , this was brilliant viewing...classic 1980s drama ...a story of redundancy...starting over again...social position , changing times ...almost Jane Austin interesting to see that even then having a good position in a good industry was seen as the pinnacle of your career...Jan being a stay at home wife and mother ..again basking in the glory of her husbands job and situation. Mixing with the right " set" in Tarrent..is seen as important for Polly and for her daughter Abbey...these days Abbey and Leo seem ahead of their time..they would be recycling and working on an Eco project back then it seemed at odds with the 80s being socially aware. This is a glimpse back to the 80s , before we recycled ..where all things were possible if you throw enough money at it...and a throw away world .Ken Masters desperate to become socially acceptable and never would as even then you had to be born in the right post code . The wooden boats being the start of thinking the old ways might not be so bad . One day this will be used in history ..how it was the good and bad.. Pure Austin...
