Abstract
TV play Cathy Come Home was broadcast for the first time in 1966. Why, in 2016, is it still relevant? With Stand By Me playing in the background, the play begins with Cathy and Reg Ward, a happy couple, dreaming about their future. We are then taken through scenes of their wedding, their new modern home and an antenatal class. Suddenly, Reg is injured at work- their discussions turn to life insurance, money, savings, what they can afford. We are then told facts and figures from the 1960s London housing crisis.
