📜 Overview: Set in working class Newcastle, the Stott family fight their private battles against the backdrop of the conflict of World War II.

In contrast, her younger sister Joyce has quite a way with men, and finds herself a little too popular with the troops, especially when her husband pops up on leave from his regiment.
