Thank You, Mrs Clinkscales (ITV 1984, Phillip Batty, Nick Conway)
In one off period drama Thank You, Mrs Clinkscales, from the always excellent Alan Plater, we are taken back to New Years Eve, 1951 where a quartet of men are in their local ready to ring in the New Year. Normally there is five of them but Ken is late, as he usually is.
Not only that when he does turn up he has a girl, Dorothy, with him. It’s a definite signifier of changing times and could mean that the gang is about to be broken up forever.
