Sarah O'Hara, Liverpool Echo, 31st May 2021Carla Lane's sitcom Bread and its legacy in Liverpool
Carla Lane, who has died aged 87, was perhaps best known for creating the popular 1980s sitcom Bread, set in her home city of Liverpool. But while for many viewers the trials and tribulations of the Boswell family were simply a slice of early evening entertainment, Liverpudlians had a far more complex relationship with the show.
Bronwyn Jones, BBC News, 3rd June 2016Finally, a plea to writer Carla Lane from all Peter Howitt fans: can't you give him something to do? At the moment, all his lines seem to consist of "settle down ma'am" when she calls Lilo Lil a tart, and keeping his brothers in order. Lots of romance and storylines for Joey, please. He's far too good to waste.
