This is a TV programme that just poppped into my head. A kind of period soap opera set at different points in the late 19th / early 20th century. We had to watch it at school, but I remember being fascinated by it and the storyline. IIRC there was a remarkably strong leftist bent to the show, with one plotpoint involving the formation of the Labour party.

Anyone else remember this?

loved this, especially cos it used that bit of Lieutenant Kijé as its theme tune. also iirc there was a sweet Suez Crisis ep where some people made a guy looking like Nasser for the bonfire cos they were deluded tools of late imperialism

We never actually saw enough episodes in sequence to get a real sense of the storyline. I do remember that we'd watch it on a TV hooked up to a big clunky Philips video recorder that used those square VCR format tapes that looked really dated even in the early 80s.
