Dame Thora Hird explores the subject of romance in the 1950s through the memories of those who were dating and dancing at that time. From samba and skiffle to jazz and rock 'n' roll, the music weaves a story: "War is over, we've money to spend, no more dried egg, let's celebrate ... let's fall in love!"
