A Very English Village S01E05 - The Ditchling Ladies

Some of the village's older residents candidly share the memories of their long and remarkable lives, including recollections of French lessons during the First World War and some of Dame Vera Lynn's Second World War anecdotes.

The stories of the past are told against a backdrop of their everyday lives, which in turn provides a thoughtful portrait of old age and its reflections on death and the afterlife.
