Your next box set: Shine On Harvey Moon
Whether you call it comedy or drama, this beautifully written series about a postwar British family rebuilding their lives is a warm, loving delight.
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian, 11th October 2012I see Marks and Gran as a family firm of scriptwriters. Gran supplying the historical colours which Marks, her grandson of course, is too young to remember. Their Shine On Harvey Moon (Meridian, Sunday) is the sort of warm-hearted, back-to-basics, jolly, argumentative family saga, which did very well once. In the early eighties to be precise.
