Dear Radio 4,
We are fervent listeners of Home Front. In the 4 years the programme has been broadcast, we've come to love (and hate) the characters and story line. We feel that Home Front could become a sort of second Archers. It would offer great opportunities to explore the upcoming events of the twenties and even cover WW2. History is a fascinating subject and seeing it through the eyes of the characters of Home Front would be the greatest listening experience !
Of course we realise that this might provoke casting difficulties but still, we feel very strongly about this and would love to hear back from you.
The effects of the war did not end just because of the signing of the Armistice. Soldiers were still dying, either in the field of war where the news hadn't reached, or in field hospitals, or in mental institutions and certainly in society. Disfigured soldiers did not get fully treated right away. We need to examine the aftermath to truly understand how the people at home adjusted to the changes imposed upon them.
