A bittersweet drama about a street party held in a suburban London square to mark the 1981 Royal Wedding. After two years of the Thatcher administration there is recession and unrest, but the economic boom is just around the corner.
Meanwhile, there's the fairytale wedding of Charles and Diana to celebrate.
Among the assorted revellers at the party is veteran comic actor Leslie Phillips, and Bread star Peter Howitt. The screenplay is by William Humble, whose previous Screen One credits include Hancock.

A Suitable Case for Treatment? For the past four years a 59-year-old sex abuser of children has been trying to persuade doctors to castrate him, without success. The doctors want instead to treat him with drugs, and argue that whereas a sex-change castration is based on "free and informed" consent, this man's desire for such drastic treatment is based on fear. But what if he belie ves that it is the only way he can be prevented from further offences? He has rejected drugs because of possible side effects, and because he does not believe he has the self-discipline necessary to make regular clinical visits. Instead, he wants an irreversible operation.
Doesn't he have the right to choose? Shouldn't he be allowed the operation for the sake of potential victims? Producer Kim Gordon
Series producer Michael Waterhouse
A Roger Bolton production for BBCtv
