“It took well over a year to listen to all of omnibus, and I loved it. I was for sure several of the voice actors played multiple parts, but was amazing when I read up on the cast. It’s evidence that this was a well thought out production about a pivotal time in history. Thanks so much for all...”Read full review »

“Really brilliant drama, great characters… although it was a shame about the character Hugh Cavendish, didn’t understand how he was a hero pilot, who came back from the dead and later on became one of the most hate-able characters in many ways, and the voice actor changed too. And why did people...”Read full review »

“This got me through lockdown Mark 2!! I just couldn’t stop listening to it. Vivid beyond words the characters were so believable I found myself talking to them during situations they found themselves in. Totally immersive, totally worth listening to all over again.”

“I have just finished listening to the last Homefront Omnibus and like many others am feeling bereft not to continue hearing about the lives of those characters. They were so well acted I could picture their faces and loved hearing about the domestic lives of British people during the war. I...”Read full review »

“I stumbled across this series whilst having a browse for things to listen to during lockdown. Thoroughly enjoyable. Mixing historical events with the domestic approach. I’ve just started Series 10, and I know I’m going to be utterly bereft when it’s over. It would be lovely to think that...”Read full review »

However, many of the omnibus episodes aren’t complete, which is a real shame.

“I loved this series, weaving real events and family life together. I agree with other listeners. Why not do similar for WW2, the Great Depression or other historical events. It’s like ‘History Light’”

“This is a histroical drama just like (and as good as) the "Downton Abbey" TV series. It tells the story of several characters living in a town on the coast of the English Channel. It gives us a taste of what it was like living during WW1. You learn about the societal changes during...”Read full review »

“Home Front is a great drama that will be missed. Home Front the ‘Inter war years’ maybe could work. The drama has moved on from the war as the dominant driver to the series and now is character led so could go anywhere.”
