Cathy Come Home is probably the most famous British television play ever, watched by a quarter of the population both on its first broadcast in 1966 and on its repeat in 1967. Its impact was enormous, provoking questions in the Houses of Parliament and helping launch the new housing charity Shelter. Ken Loach and producer Tony Garnett also ushered in a new style of television drama , taking the cameras onto the streets and fusing documentary and drama styles to give the story an extra sense of reality, and a devastating emotional impact. Carol White is exceptional as the bright young bride driven to despair by the social and economic forces pitted against her.
