About The Spoils of War
In the aftermath of the Second World War, the Haywards are staunch labour supporters, the Warringtons own a soon to be nationalised coal mine. A riveting story exploring the differing effects of the Labour election victory on working class and upper class life, as well as the disruptive effect of war on the love lives of the younger members of the families.
Directed by John Finch, The Spoils of War leans on a strong ensemble — William Lucas, Alan Hunter, Ian Hastings — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1980.
