As I mentioned, there’s something quite cosy about it. Despite being restrictive set wise, the main set (the high ceilinged living room) is about as grand as you’d expect from a 70’s daytime drama. The dramas themselves are quite gentle. Things like “daughter falls off horse” or “father disapproves of daughter showing midriff at fancy dress party” are the themes of entire episodes but they pull it off well, even if some of the performances (particularly the youngest daughter) seem a bit “stage school” for want of a better description.Wow! As you said, Crossroads is the one that always gets a mention and I’ve seen Take the High Road cited as an inspiration too but never The Cedar Tree. I look forward to seeing what elements Victoria Wood mined from it for Acorn Antiques.</blockquote>
