Cathy Come Home
"Cathy Come Home" is probably the most famous British television play ever, watched by a quarter of the population both on its first broadcast in November 1966 and on its repeat in January 1967. Its impact was enormous, provoking questions in the Houses of Parliament and playing a large part in promoting the launch of the new housing charity Shelter. Director Ken Loach and producer Tony Garnett also ushered in a new style of television drama: by taking the cameras out of the studio and onto the streets, and fusing drama and documentary styles, the story is given an added sense of reality and the emotional impact is devastating. Carol White is exceptional as the bright young bride driven to despair by the social and economic forces pitted against her.
