Rueben's Ramblings

The 6-part mini-series Homes Fires will debut on PBS on October 4 at 8 PM.

In August 1939, war with Germany is all but certain. While citizens of the isolated village of Great Paxford each face the prospect of war in their own way, all agree that they must do everything they can to hold their village—and their nation—together. But when the value of the largely social group, The Women’s Institute, is called into question, forward-thinking Frances Barden (Samantha Bond from Downton Abbey) and snobbish Joyce Cameron (Francesca Annis from Cranford) clash over the fate of the Institute and the roles its members can play, far from the front.

NOTE: The mini-series will air from October 4 through November 8.

Here is a trailer for Home Fires.
