Three Clear Sundays (1965)
James O'Connor's "emotional autobiography" tells the story of Danny, a young prisoner put up to attack a warder by two old lags.

Days of Hope (1975)
Four feature-length period dramas follow three young members of a Yorkshire farming family from the First World War to the General Strike of 1926

The End of Arthur's Marriage (1966)
A working class man goes to put a deposit on a new house only to find he prefers spending to saving…

In Two Minds (1967)
Kate, a young girl under psychiatric examination, suffers from a lack of confidence…

Up the Junction (1965)
Chelsea girl Polly moving to a working-class area of Clapham in search of life.

The Price of Coal (1977)
Two linked dramas look at the lives of those living in a Yorkshire colliery community.

Cathy Come Home (1966)
When Reg loses his job, they find their life spinning out of control.

The Rank and File (1971)
The Wilkinson glass factory in the Midlands believe they are a caring employer - even providing a free bag of coal as a Christmas bonus - and have always had a good relationship with the local trade union.

1965 saw Ken Loach working as one of the "in house" directors of the groundbreaking The Wednesday Play series at The BBC which included Three Clear Sundays, Up the Junction and The End of Arthur's Marriage. Of these plays, Up The Junction had the most impact, telling the story of three young women factory workers in their work and home lives, focusing on Rube as she meets her first boyfriend, and chronicles the significant life changing events that follow including an illegal abortion. Not only controversial at the time, Loach's inter-cutting of real life interviews mixed in with drama became a signpost for his future directing style striving for naturalism and realism. 1966 saw Ken Loach's breakthrough piece, Cathy Come Home. The play follows the lives of young sweethearts Cathy (Carol White fresh from Up The Junction) and Reg (Ray Brooks) starting out as a newly married couple, moving into a new place and having children. Reg then suffers an accident which means he is unable to work and they end up being evicted and separated. With Cathy homeless but still looking after the children, she faces having her children taken away from her by Social Services. This is perhaps the play that has had more impact than any other on television, highlighting the very real problem of homelessness. Even some forty years later the power of Cathy Come Home remains undiminished. In Two Minds charts the turbulent life of a young woman who endures a difficult family life and, after throwing a kitchen knife at her mother, is diagnosed as a schizophrenic. Much like Cathy Come Home, the realistic documentary style helps provide veracity to the story. Written by Jim Allen, The Big Flame is a story of striking Liverpool dock workers, who decide that to safeguard their futures they must control the port themselves. This was the first of several Ken Loach / Jim Allen collaborations - many of which would be starkly political. The BAFTA nominated Days of Hope was Jim Allen's tale of a working-class family in the period from 1916 to 1926, taking in the First World War, events in Ireland and the General Strike of 1926. Running to well over six hours, the series tells an epic story particularly in the light of the parlous state of the economy and labour relations in Britain at the time. A radical series in every sense, Jim Allen was able create real parallels in Days of Hope that resonated with the working class of the mid 1970's and the political climate at that time. Loach returned to the BBC with The Price of Coal (written by Kes author Barry Hines) a film which depicted the lives of those living in a coalfield community. The first part subtitled, Meet The People, is a comic tale surrounding the story of a colliery community in preparation for a visit by Prince Charles, and the efforts being put on by the management to make the pit fit for a future king, involving grassing over an unsightly coal slag heap and whitewashing everything in site. The second part, Back To Reality, is completely different in tone when the colliery suffers a sudden underground explosion, trapping, killing and injuring the miners, and as the rescue team work frantically to rescue those trapped, those above ground argue about who is to blame. The Rank and File, which completes the collection, again written by Jim Allen, is a story based around the strike by the Pilkington Glass workers. This beautifully packaged collection displays some of Loach's very best work and gives a real insight into working class life in the 60's and 70's. The collection also features an interview with Ken Loach, a documentary entitled Housing Problems and a commentary track for Cathy Come Home.

The Big Flame (1969)
In response to plans to mechanise the docks which directly threaten jobs, the dock workers take industrial action. As the striking workers' families struggle with poverty, they realise the odds are against them. But is there another way? Former strike leader Jack Regan suggests the dockers occupy the docks and run the operation themselves: a resolution the state cannot afford to succeed...

Three Clear Sundays (1965)
Taking its title from a Home Office ruling that three clear Sundays were to elapse between a sentence of death and execution, James O'Connor's ""emotional autobiography"" tells the story of Danny, a young prisoner put up to attack a warder by two old lags. When the warden dies, Danny is left to await and contemplate the ultimate punishment.

Days of Hope (1975)
Four feature-length period dramas follow three young members of a Yorkshire farming family from the First World War to the General Strike of 1926: Ben, who volunteers for the army; his sister, Sarah and her husband, Phillip, a Christian Socialist and conscientious objector. As both men become scarred by their wartime experiences, Ben joins the Durham miners in a bitter struggle, while Phillip becomes a Labour MP. As the General Strike looms, the family find themselves at the heart of a pivotal moment in British politics.

The End of Arthur's Marriage (1966)
In this off-beat musical - a satire that combines fantasy, social observation and songs - a working class man goes to put a deposit on a new house only to find he prefers spending to saving and is happy to spend his money on a few hours of happiness rather than a lifetime's conventionality.

In Two Minds (1967)
Kate, a young girl under psychiatric examination, suffers from a lack of confidence, self-esteem and self-control - telling of the ""bad Kate"" who commits immoral acts. Could the hypocrisy, selfishness and weakness of those around her have led to this state of mind or can Kate simply be diagnosed and dismissed as a schizophrenic?

Up the Junction (1965)
This adaptation of Nell Dunn's novel finds bored, privileged, Chelsea girl Polly moving to a working-class area of Clapham in search of life. Taking a job in a sweet factory, Polly makes friends with co-workers Rube and Sylvie and falls for junk-shop assistant Peter - joining in their lives of getting by, having a laugh and coping with the inevitable misfortunes.

The Price of Coal (1977)
Two linked dramas look at the lives of those living in a Yorkshire colliery community. The first part, Meet The People, takes a look at preparations for a visit by Prince Charles, as management try to enlist the miners help in sprucing up the pithead. Completely different in tone, Part Two, Back To Reality, is set one month later as an underground explosion has disastrous consequences - above and below ground.

Cathy Come Home (1966)
Cathy and Reg have everything to live for: he has a well-paid job, they have three healthy children and a modern home. But when Reg loses his job, they find their life spinning out of control. Evicted by bailiffs, they face a life of poverty, illegally squatting in empty houses, sleeping in hostels and fighting to keep their family together.

The Rank and File (1971)
The Wilkinson glass factory in the Midlands believe they are a caring employer - even providing a free bag of coal as a Christmas bonus - and have always had a good relationship with the local trade union. But their workers see things differently when faced by a management offensive and form a Rank and File Strike Committee. The committee expect harassment from management but surely their union leaders in London will stand by them. Won't they?
