Home Fires

This series should never have been cancelled - one of best series of the last 10yrs!

I am so disappointed that Home Fire series 3 has been canceled I have bought and watched both series 1 and 2 and cant believe that this show has been left like it was, what has happened to British drama. You can still keep shows like coronation st and Emmerdale going and then bring back Cold Feet but you cant finish a series off completely. Maybe another TV station can pick up this wonderful series which is also a lot of peoples own history as my interest stemmed from the fact my mothers family lived in Chester and Liverpool during the war. My mother who is now 95 years old loved this series too and she was able to relate this. We seem to be inundated with crime series from the BBC and in this time in history a gentle reminder of what a dictator tried to do to the world and what woman have achieved in the last decade was wonderful.

The network should have let them do a 3rd season so they could tie up all the characters stories. Instead it was a cliffhanger. A dismal cliffhanger.

I am currently watching Home Fires tv series in Denmark. I remember the Second World War very clearly and the producers have tried to recreate small town life in the 40's with a degree of success. However, I cannot understand why they don't have the scripts checked and get advice about wartime pronunciation. For example, I have heard two actors say 'skedule' and not schedule. Nobody said the American pronunciation which became popular during the 'Friends' long running comedy series among younger viewers. And the young lad on the farm greeting a lady exclaiming 'Hi !' This was impossible! Greetings were more formal in those days. Even so, the series is so well acted and I love the story line. I really wish ITV would have continued the series as the writers created many strong characters.

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????
