Product Description
United Kingdom released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: English ( Mono ), SPECIAL FEATURES: Box Set, Interactive Menu, Multi-DVD Set, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: This critically acclaimed wartime drama is an epic adventure of love, friendship and courage during the Second World War. In a quiet Suffolk village, life is disrupted when the 525th Bomber Group of the United States Eight Air Force arrives with its Flying Fortress bombers, its two thousand officers, its energy and confidence. Despite cultural differences between the brash Americans and the reserved but resilient villagers of Market Wetherby they pull together to face the common enemy. A story of romance, hardship, fear and sacrifice... Set during the later years of World War II, We'll Meet Again tells the story of the relationships that develop between a group young women and the squadron of rowdy, gum-popping, oversexed American fighter pilots stationed in their small English village. Tender, nostalgic, and beautifully filmed, this mini-series explores the dynamics of life and love in the face of incomprehensible destruction. ...We'll Meet Again - 4-DVD Set

Format:DVD
I remember watching this 20 odd years ago and loving it and being disappointed when it ended. I was given the DVDs for Christmas and after trawling around on Amazon, i found the follow up book written by the same person who wrote the tv series. The book carries on where the TV series left off and carries on for another 30 years. To watch the DVDs and then to read the book was brilliant. If you fancy the book heres a link, [[ASIN:0708822886 We'll Meet Again: The End of an Era]. Hope you enjoy it as much as i did, I may have to go now and start it again!!!!!!!!!!

WW2 as seen through the eyes of a small English town which become home to a US air base 3 years into the second world war.
Into the lives of the villagers come the glamorous young airmen - dashing and daring - with no comprehension of rationing, blackouts, food shortages and all the conditions with which the English residents have been coping for years.
Dr Helen (Susannah York) sees her Marjor husband posted to North Africa while her daughter Pat opts to leave university in the hope of doing war work. Helen soon gets to know the US troops as she treats the wounded at the local hospital - and before long she finds herself drawn to Major Jim Kiley. When her husband is invalided out of the army, where will the loyalties of the doctor lie - and can her own daughter forgive her for falling for the man she also desires?
Publican Jack Blair, a widower, has two daughters. Land Girl Vi falls for kindly airman Chuck - but when he goes missing following a flight over Germany she waits anxiously for news. Sister Rosie, meantime, has plenty boys to choose from and delights in teasing Hymie and Elmer in particular.
Stern father Bert Munday keeps wife Vera and children Peter and Letty on a tight rein - but his daughter is soon the cause of false accusations in the town before finding herself in real trouble after the death of her airman boyfriend. Brother Peter moves out to avoid his bullying dad whilst he awaits the call up - but Bert finds his own morals tested when his 'Spiv' brother in law, Stan, turns up with plans to stock his shop with under the counter items.
Sally (Carolyn Pickles) has two young children and a husband reported killed. Her blossoming friendship with mechanic Joe is put to the test when an unexpected visitor knocks on the door one night, turning her life upside down.
Beautifully made and paced, the 12 episodes look at the cultural differences that the locals and troops had to adapt to and as the barriers are gradually broken down, the resentment of the villagers to these 'movie star' boys fades as they come to realise the very real dangers they face as they fly mission after mission over Germany.
So, dig out your ration book, find your best stockings and settle down for a truly moving programme as the lives of Chuck, Red, Elmer, Mario, Joe and Major Jim change for ever the inhabitants of one English town in the summer of 1943.

I was over the moon when this classic series was released on DVD. Having an edited version version on VHS wasn't quite the same. At times this series will have you reaching for the hankies and at other times will have you laughing with the antics of some of the characters (elmer and hymie, to name but two). All I can say is a BIG thanks to Cinema Club for having the brains to release it. No extras but still a wonderful buy!

Watchable Series
This 14 part series from the early eighties is a watchable and involving drama. It is'nt the best of it's kind, but is still streets ahead of most of the current offerings on tv.
