It's 1945 and the troops come home. Families get back together, but behind the joy of reunion lies a quiet resolve.
We were looking for a more democratic Britain, a less oppressive Britain. We allfelt about ten feet tall and thought we'd a right to share in the goodies.

The 1945 election brings in a Labour government. One of the first tasks is to demobilise five million service men and women. There are tales of demob suits, and people remember the difficulty of being a wife, husband or father again after six years of war.
Film research CHRISTINE WHITTAKER Film editor CHRISTOPHER HALE Producer ANGELA HOLDSWORTH
An exhibition based on the series can be seen at the Museum of London in the Barbican from 17 September. 0 FEATURE: page 4
