Cathy Come Home is arguably one of the most influential and highly regarded UK television dramas ever broadcast. Directed by Ken Loach, watched by 12 million people when broadcast in 1966, it provoked major public and political discussion with its devastating indictment of government policy towards homelessness, and powerful defence of the homeless. The film tells the story of Cathy and Reg, a couple with three young children, who find their life spiralling into poverty when Reg loses his well-paid job. Gripping and emotional, it remains a truly ground-breaking and highly relevant piece of dramatic fiction.
UK 1966 75 mins Dir: Ken Loach Screened by kind permission of the BBC.
