About this listen

It's 1959, and Boots Adams and his wife, Polly, are at their favourite Camberwell pub when they witness with horror a sudden and vicious attack on the barman, Joe, by a knife-wielding thug. Is this a sign of the times?

Is contempt for old traditions and enthusiasm for everything new and fashionable going to threaten the Adams family and their easy-going existence? While Gemma is courted by one of the young men who works for her father, her twin brother, James, finds himself affected by his girlfriend's intriguing family secrets.

And just who is the mysterious new student from Finland who arrives at Gemma's college?

However I am finding the strange way of talking to one another a little grating. I’m sure Cockneys don’t really talk like this. Excellent narration as always

Excellent as always
