Very watchable tv but totally untrue. I had four of my eight children in the 1960s - two at home and two in hospital. The portraying the the breathing etc., is not authentic as those things came much much later. Also, the benevolent midwifes! The nurses in the hospitals were not so nice either. The nicest I remember were an Irish girl and a German girl who were really caring and sweet.
Life was not like that in the 60s - certainly not in East London or anywhere in the UK
I also had a baby which had to be turned and what they show is absolutely not what happened!
Still, nice, sentimental stories - to bad they are so untrue
Also - the portrayal of a Bangladeshi family!!!!! Bangladesh did not come into being until 1971
