What BollyAI Thinks
Series 5 continued through the mid-1960s with storylines on illegal abortion, domestic violence, and the first stirrings of the women's liberation movement in Poplar. A two-parter dealing with back-street abortion stands as a highlight - the writing handled it with the show's characteristic directness and empathy. The season overall operated comfortably within established grooves. The ensemble was well-settled and the production values remained high. The show's consistency was increasingly both its strength and its limitation: what it delivered was known and reliable.
