A comedy by Walter Greenwood.
[Starring] Wilfred Pickles
Second performance: Thursday at 9.15 pm.

Soldiers from the wars returning have often found more trouble awaiting them at home than ever they solved by fighting abroad. Sergeant Jack Hardacre left a safe job to join the Army in the recent war; he fought with the Eighth Army from Alamein to Italy, he won three medals, he was wounded. Not an uneventful record, you may say. But look what Jack has to contend with when he gets back to Lancashire!
His mother, Sarah Hardacre, would never think of letting her son know how proud she is of him, and dismisses even the medals by saying that he was always 'winning something.' And the neighbours are all too ready to start managing the affairs of their returning hero; his particular problem here is that before going away, Jack had become engaged to Janey Jenkins.
What with Janey's persistence and her pressing mother, Jack would probably take the line of least resistance as he had done before, but for two facts. One is that in the Army he acquired a mind of his own; the other is that in his absence his mother acquired a pretty lodger from the south called Milly.
Walter Greenwood's celebrated Lancashire hot-pot of a comedy shows how Jack copes with these problems, though the battles involved tax him almost as hard as those he fought with the Army. (Peter Forster)
