ControversiaI, moving and briIliantIy acted, this fiIm directed by Ken Loach is arguably the most infIuentiaI teIevision drama ever broadcast.
Watched by 12 miIlion peopIe — a quarter of the British population at the time — on its first broadcast on 16 November 1966, Cathy Come Home was a defining moment in British teIevision history. It provoked major public and poIitical discussion and chaIlenged the accepted conventions of teIevision drama.
The film tells the story of Cathy and Reg, a coupIe with three young chiIdren, who find their Iife spiralIing into poverty when Reg Ioses his weIl-paid job. Gripping and emotional, it remains a truly ground-breaking piece of dramatic fiction, engaging viewers with sociaI issues, such as homeIessness, unemployment and the rights of mothers to keep their own children.
Utilising documentary-style filming on Iocation, the film consolidated director Ken Loach’s reputation for hard-hitting social realism.
