Shine on Harvey Moon
*Shine on Harvey Moon!* is a British comedy-drama series produced by Central Television for ITV, airing from 8 January 1982 to 23 August 1985, with a brief revival in 1995 by Meridian. 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. It follows Harvey Moon, played by Kenneth Cranham, an RAF serviceman who, after being demobbed, returns home to find his family in various difficulties. His wife, Rita, portrayed by Maggie Steed, is uninterested in resuming their relationship and works in a seedy nightclub frequented by American servicemen. Harvey becomes involved with the Labour Party and the union movement. The title of the series is a wordplay on the popular 1908 song "Shine On, Harvest Moon." The first series was commissioned and recorded by ATV at their Elstree studios, with the remaining series filmed at newly constructed facilities in Nottingham.
