Shine On Harvey Moon


It took several years to piece this one together, but Friday, with the airing of Love And Marriage on the Yesterday channel, it is done.

Shine On Harvey Moon was another program from Marks & Gran. If I had to classify it I guess I'd call it a comedy-drama. It takes place in London at the end of WWII. It had a great cast including Kenneth Cranham, Maggie Steed, Nigel Planer, Linda Robson, Elizabeth Spriggs, Lee Whitlock, Pauline Quirke.

There was a 10 year gap between Series 4 and 5 and the final series takes place in the 1950's. Kenneth Cranham did not return for that one and Harvey Moon was played by Nicky Henson.

Visually, the period detail achieved by the production team is very impressive for a television show.
