Backs To The Land - The Complete Second Series

This popular Anglia sitcom focuses on the experiences of three very different Women's Land Army volunteers who find themselves in the Norfolk village of Clayfield, sharing a hasty education in agricultural matters, more than a few mishaps, and a little romance along the way. Originally screened in 1977, Backs To The Land features a memorable theme sung by Anne Shelton, one of Britain's most cherished wartime entertainers.

In this second series, debutante Daphne bids a fond farewell to Crabtree farm and fellow Land Army girls Jenny and Shirley; her replacement is flirty aspiring actress Bunny Burroughs, whose theatrical airs and graces prompt serious doubts about her aptitude for manual labour. The farm also becomes home to a tearaway evacuee family and an Army captain, while farmer Tom Whitlow finds he has a romantic rival in the form of a dashing Polish airman...
