Blitz!

Basic Plot
In 1940 the East End of London is taking a terrible pounding from Hitler’s bombs. Life, however, goes on, centring around Mrs. Blitztein and her large family, especially her petty-criminal son Harry and her beautiful daughter Carol. They all fight their own particular battles with neighbours and authorities alike, through many situations, many humorous, some tragic, and eventually find their own individual peace. Features many hit songs, including The Day After Tomorrow and Mums and Dads.
