Now the War is Over

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A series of films about Britain from 1945 to 1951. Living it Up
With peace comes a determination to have a good time. There are holidays in Blackpool and Butlin's. There is jitterbugging and ballroom dancing at the Palais and a nightly full house at the Rex. Spectator sports draw record crowds and millions of pounds are blown in illegal gambling.
We were making up for lost time and what with rationing the only thing you could spend money on was enjoying yourself.

(An exhibition based on the series can be seen at the Museum of London in the Barbican until January.) Book, £10.95 from booksellers
