Housewife 49

Film Description

The 1940s are caringly recreated for this series in which Victoria Wood, who also wrote the drama, plays it straight as a Lancashire housewife struggling to recover from a nervous breakdown, a difficult marriage and the realisation that her two sons are now grown up and no longer need her. She finds companionship and a sense of purpose when she joins the Women's Voluntary Service and also in her diary, which she keeps as a volunteer for the Mass Observation Archive. Based on the real-life diary of Nella Last, a housewife from Barrow-in-Furness.
