Londoners

1965 · 1 season

A slow, literate anthology that treats a great city as a moody character, drifting between grit and lyricism with theatrical intimacy.

Overview: London itself takes the starring role in this series of plays from the BBC – a role which varies between hero and villain, enchantress and harpy. The series features extensive location filming, ranging from Soho to the Law Courts, Wembley to the docks. Of the twelve episodes, eleven are believed to be lost.
How it feels: Melancholic, earnest, satirical and dark. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Class, isolation, identity, memory
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
