Synopsis:

This box set contains selected episodes from series one and the entire series two of the classic ITV drama series. It's 1945 and Corporal Harvey Moon (Kenneth Cranham) is demobbed and returns home to London's East End. Everyone believed that the former Clapton Orient footballer had been killed in action so plenty has been going on in his absence: his wife Rita (Maggie Steed) has been making a succession of American GIs feel at home; his daughter Maggie (Linda Robson) has grown up into a young woman who is more than capable of taking care of herself; and his son Stanley (Lee Whitlock) is under the misguided illusion that his Dad was a heroic secret service agent - and on top of all this, his home has been reduced to rubble.

Shine on Harvey Moon is a British television series made by Central Television for ITV from 8 January 1982 to 23 August 1985 and briefly revived in 1995 by Meridian. This generally light-hearted series was created by comedy writers Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran. The series is set in the East End of London shortly after the Second World War. Upon being demobbed RAF serviceman Harvey Moon returns home and finds his family involved in various troubles. His wife Rita, played by Maggie Steed, is not interested in resuming their relationship, and works in a seedy nightclub frequented by American servicemen. He becomes involved with the Labour Party and the union movement. The name of the series is a wordplay on the title of the popular 1908 song 'Shine On, Harvest Moon'. The first series was commissioned and recorded by ATV (the forerunner to Central Television) at their Elstree studios with the remaining series filmed at newly-constructed facilities in Nottingham.

Comedy drama series about recently demobbed RAF clerk Harvey Moon and his family, set in 1947-48.
