Susannah York stars in this highly-regarded series set in a rural Suffolk village during World War Two, along with Ronald Hines, Michael J Shannon and Ray Smith. Originally broadcast on ITV in 1982, We'll Meet Again - The Complete Series has been released by Network as a four-disc set containing all thirteen episodes of this culture clash drama.
For three-and-a-half long years, the small town of Market Wetherby has been doggedly getting on with the war; contending with ration books and shortages, of 'Digging for Victory' and news on the 'Wireless'. Into this quiet corner of wartime tranquillity arrive the 525th Bomb Group of the US Eighth Air Group. Consequently, welcoming 'Flying Fortress' bombers and 2,500 officers and men does not come easy to the inhabitants of this sleepy village...
Only one series of We'll Meet Again was ever made, despite a public protest for more due to the success with which it was met and this set contains it all, with a running time of approximately 700 minutes and an RRP of £29.99
