One square in Islington - 70 houses, about 400 lives...

"Director Lawrence Gordon Clark and producer Ian Martin have rung the bell at people's homes. As well as giving an insight into social problems, the series imparts that pleasantly half-guilty feeling of finding out what goes on behind others' curtains." (Birmingham Post)
"Brilliant series about a London square during the social upheaval created by the middle-class chase for habitable houses in what were once working-class areas of London." (Daily Mail)
