Drama series.
On the Yorkshire coast Castle Haven is a pair of large Victorian houses
that have been converted into 8 flats, middle aged Tom and Sarah Meek
are the caretakers whilst other residents included newly married Phil
and Jo Mercer, shift worker Ivor Davies and his wife Alice and the
Czechoslavakian Josip Pospichal. Put together by Emmerdale Farm creator
Kevin Laffan, Castle Haven is a classic soapy style drama, never fully
networked by ITV (74 episodes were shown by Thames between 27 June and
13 October 1972 when ITV started their afternoon broadcasts). Apparently
the series is one the few Yorkshire shows to have been completely wiped
(apart from that is, the second half of one episode)
