Those People Next Door DVD

The Twiggs are a typical working-class family who are struggling to survive the hardship of war with typical bulldog spirit. Sam (Jack Warner) and Mary (Marjorie Rhodes) are trying to bring their family up in the shadow of the Blitz whilst taking everything in good humour. Their neighbours Joe (Charles Victor) and Emma (Gladys Henson) are constantly in the Twiggs' house, borrowing a cup of sugar or using their Anderson shelter. Between them, the two working class families put the world to rights.

However, the Twiggs' eldest daughter falls for an upper-class RAF pilot and the two sweethearts plan to marry. But Lady Diana Stephens, the RAF pilot's mother, asks the Twiggs to call the romance off as the social gap between the two families is too large. Incensed by Lady Diana's offer of money, Sam Twigg throws her out of the house. But events take a sudden turn as the war enters the Twiggs' own living room. Will the two families manage to overcome their disdain for each other and let true love find its way?
