This really brought home to me how our expectations have changed. We live in different times, but there are still the indomitable ones who WON'T let life get them down.
After listening to this, I'm so grateful for my tiny place (although anyone extra would have to sleep on the floor!)
Thanks a million
Here's a short synopsis
"1916: Lettie and Ollie come from very different worlds - she from a comfortable if unhappy middle class home, he from working class poverty. When Lettie is forced by her mother to work in a munitions factory however, she comes to meet Ollie, a soldier injured on the Western Front. They fall in love and marry, but life with a disabled soldier as a husband will never be easy."
Cheers from Canada North
Thanks for the synopsis. Will listen now.
Thank you, I'll listen to it now.
THANK YOU!!! ❤️☮️🙏🏽
SPOILER ALERT
.
I skipped from time he had the doctor appointment... anyone remember what happened with his leg, thanks.
1978 Pemberton wrote the ninety minute radio drama The Trains Don’t Stop Here Anymore, which starred Nerys Hughes and was broadcast by BBC Radio. It was inspired by the lives of Pemberton’s parents. The play was followed up in 1987 by two additional installments, Don’t Talk To Me About Kids and Down by the Sea.

Such a lovely story. Sad too. Brilliant acting from a great cast. Thanks. Well worth a listen.
What a beautiful story about Love and resilience! Thank you.
THANKSALOT...................its great. The young woman playing Lettie is wonderful and inspiring
The landlord's laugh is so charming 🤭. I loved this story very much. Thank you ❤
Heartwarming.
Loved this one! Great acting. I wonder how their lives went?
I love these original plays from a different era. Thank you.
This is a really good program...it feels as though I'm actually there. Thanks for uploading! Great job as usual!
Great story enjoyed every minute thank you. 😊
According to source Genome this was a Saturday Night Theatre production broadcast on 8th July, 1978 and directed by the late John Tydeman. Lettie is played by Nerys Hughes, Vi by Wendy Richard, Ollie by Nigel Anthony with Sheila Grant and Malcolm Hayes as Lettie's parents.
Thank you for putting the year of airing on I was wondering what year it was done? Thank you.
In reply to Simon, there's so much information relating to these dramas .... just type in "Genome" ....then the title and author......and the Radio Times listing is there, more often than not.....though there is the occasional blank....
Very, very enjoyable, uplifting story. All the better knowing it’s about real people and actual events.

Thank you!
👍
You’re a wee diamond Tottie! Thank you. X
Thank you.
@@jonsmum5552 😄 That compliment will keep me going all week!!!
I really enjoyed this. Thanks
In 1990 Pemberton was asked to adapt this trilogy into a novel. That book, Our Family, became the first of 15 historical novels, which Pemberton refers to as his “London saga.”
Such a heartwarming story!😍
Lovely!!!!
Quite a lovely story!
Wonderful story thank you
Lovely story.
Sweet story. I didn't realize it was a true story but am not surprised.
This was so good. I fancy the detective/crime stories the best, but this was a gem. Great writing, interesting characters, plot, all of it.
Lettie was such a positive person and a rock to Ollie. She sure learned a lot from her mothers’ bad temperament and attitude. And the landlord! Crazy cheap and funny!
All in all, just terrific! BRAVO!!!
Made me feel a bit guilty when Ollie said hed like to go to the seaside. I live 5 miles from the Pacific Ocean and haven't been near it in ten years!😞
I loved this story especially Lettie
Very good , thank you.
Trilogy! If so, where are the other 2 parts? On the hunt to find them. Very enjoyable play.

I saw them at one time. Can’t find them now.
#2 "Don't Talk To Me About Kids" and #3 "Down By the Sea".
Man if these kids don't get a break I think I'm a jump off the Brooklyn Bridge. Don't worry I live in Manhattan the bridge is too far away. It's over and I'm happy
Lovely play, Uncle Chesterton......by the way if you're coming round this weekend...wer'e having Pea and Corn Curry....with Pork Soup for after's....yumm,yumm.Thanx Uncle Ches,lad.
The great actor Nigel Anthony Sounds completely different here in this drama i would never of recognized his voice. Sounds very different here one of his many great roles.This drama about the lives of some people during the great war A small peice of historey before I was born .I wasn't born during the war so I have no idear what it was like back then.good to hear wendy craig comedy actress In not in front of the children and Butterflies.
Tears were falling when the Mother played Just a song at Twilight. Silly I know!!!!
"train station"? no one, not ever, used that term, not back in them days - railway station more like!
Very true, we referred to them as just stations, or sometimes railway stations .
@David Reed: Absolutely right.
Totally a really loving wee story
Detroit Mamma ❤ Lettie is me so positive 🎉no matter what 😢this is a beautiful story

I think I had a big crush on Nerys Hughes when she was doing the Liver Birds. Probably one of thousands of teens boys in the UK at the time.
That was beautiful
I couldn't agree more. A very heartwarming story.

I loved it when the crippled vet leapt across the table to beat up the irish consci! 🤣 favorite part!
Oh to find a woman like that today.
A familiar refrain these days in most places. Sad, no romance on the rails 🤔👍
A new series to indulge in.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
1st part of a trilogy? Let's have the other two please
Trilogy! If so, where are the other 2? On the hunt to try and find them! 17.02.21. 10.38am
When can we have the 4th part ?
I was thinking that Vi sounds exactly like Miss Brahms! Then I heard a the credits’
Where can we listen the others parts?
Today we’d say Lettie suffers from toxic positivity 😢😅
Good but her relentless optimism was a bit overpowering! It seemed to all work out but I thought he was dead at the end 😬 She was just a bit too Pollyanna-ish. He needed time to be allowed to grieve and she kept on pushing him into feeling what he didn't feel. A sign of the times though as people didn't know what we do now.
Shame the mother is so miserable.
Dreadful story.
