"She's been a scrubber all her life that one..."Poor little rich girl, Polly (Suzy Kendall), swaps the good life of Chelsea for what she sees as the romance of the working class existence in Battersea. She finds friends (Maureen Lipman and Adrienne Posta), and romance (Dennis Waterman) but it comes at a price. The colourful life of the street turns out not to be all that romantic.
Based on the novel by Nell Dunn and the BBC play, this addresses some of the social issues of the day, including back street abortionists. Well scripted and played, we come to like the people involved before we get caught up in their domestic lives. This also gives a good flavour of the era.
