I'd just had my son back in 82 when this was on the telly. I thoroughly enjoyed it and looked forward to each episode. The BBC captured the era so well with great attention to detail

The 1962 film with Alan Bates was a brilliant film in a very ordinary way. The British kitchen sink dramas of the 1960s were excellent.

I'm from Glasgow originally and now live in Florida but I went to college in Manchester and worked in Blackburn in the 60's. I still get a wave of nostalgia and yearning when I hear the Lancashire accent. So many people were so good to me as a clueless teenager away from home. Great memories.

Lancashire is very different from the rest of England, culturally another country. There doesn’t seem to be a class system and people are accepted at face value. There was certainly a hierarchy particularly in a working environment but it was more to do with merit than connections.

I bought the book when i was in the army, stationed in Germany in 1966, I was 19 years old and I sat in a cafe in the camp one Sunday and read the book all the way through in one day. I have never forgotten the impact the book had on me because all the characters could have been in my own family. I have been a fan of Stan Barstow ever since.

Well, you either didn't grow up in the 1970s/80s, or didn't watch much tv back then. If you grew up in rrecent years, you sadly missed a lot of great tv drama from back in the day, before political correctness and wokeness!

I remember watching this when it first was aired and I never noticed this at the time but I am a kid of around this time, Well this is supposedly the late 50's and I was born In 58. Working class families didn't have TV that early and TV shut down really early I the evening, anyway so there wouldn't be people sitting Around the TV after the pubs closed (which was At around 9pm in the late 60's) this was really well done and I am still enjoying it as much as the original film. She was really pretty..she married Val Kilmer but didn't do as much as I would have thought after this.

I read Stan Barstow's original trilogy back in the 80s, and really enjoyed them. Out of all the kitchen sink novels of the 60s, this was always my favourite. I liked the film version of A Kind Of Loving, and the two leads were great, and this series was excellent, Clive Wood and Joanne Whalley really fleshed out the roles of Vic and Ingrid. And the supporting cast really excelled.

@@nevisscot7697What kind of working class have you ever been in contact with? As the sixth child of a Northern steel worker, there was always money for alcohol. A day never went by without a few pints in the local. Always food on the table and the kids taken care of, but always a pint on his way home from work. And always respectable, as are every one of his 6 kids and 17 grandkids. Not a Tory, a criminal, an idler or long term unemployed amongst us. Don't write the working class off just yet. And we didn't all vote bloody Brexit either.

@@nevisscot7697 I was 1963. One of eight, and my dad, a docker, died when I was four. My mum never drank so we didn’t have the life of, say, my cousins. Their mum (my dad’s sister) was an alcoholic, their dad was a lorry driver but had a perennially bad back and when he couldn’t work, his day was organised around the pub opening times. In by eleven, home for a sleep, then back to the pub for the evening. So many people we knew had a similar timetable. I went to convent school and was amazed to find that, far from the paragons of propriety I imagined, many catholic priests were incredibly heavy drinkers! In my experience, drinking culture has always been a huge part of British life, even if I’ve never been a big drinker

I feel they ruined it with the actors they picked for the main rolls of Victor and Ingrid.......Victor was described as very dark hair and a very handsome face....Ingrid was a blonde haired, very beautiful young woman with a beautiful figure completely different to the actors they picked.... they don't show his excitement at watching her on the bus , before they ever spoke to each other...how he describes the back of her neck and her blonde hair done in a French pleat.
