Superb viewing if you like the "vintage 1930s". The acting & the music is first class - the effects of the 1930s are true to life. Everyday life for the working middle class is 1st class portrayed. Just got to be viewed.

Thank you for voting. If your vote meets our Gold Sovereigns..not Pennies..!1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Pennies From Heaven is pure gold sovereigns to me.
This amazing story of a musicsheet salesman twists and turns so unexpectedly in each episode. The nostalgic songs are a part of the story, and yet not in the usual fashion of musicals.
It is one of the few series that I can watch again and again, and each time, I spot something that I missed the previous time. It is full of rich detail.
As a period piece, all the details are perfect. The cast are perfect.
IF ONLY they could make more like this!
A piece of genius.

I really loved the music and didn't find it off putting that suddenly everyone would be singing and dancing. The story was a bit sad in that the main character didn't make a success of his life and wasn't a particularly nice person. Bob Hoskins was very good in the role and I will be able to watch the dvds again at some future point. The singing was excellent and just right for that particular period of time. I don't like Dennis Potter much but this was very good.

Pennies From Heaven (DVD 2004)If you remember this when it was first shown on the TV , you will be delighted with it on DVD , and if you have not watch it before you are in for a real treat,
the songs and the acting them out are just so enjoyable to watch.

Pennies From HeavenHaving watched this drama orginally in 1978 it was great to see it again and to remember just how brilliant it was. The series was very different from anything we had seen before, the storyline and the use of songs from the 1930's (a particular favourite era for music, so my wife says even though it was before her time, I had better say) cleverly done by Dennis Potter. We could do with more dramas of this quality, sadly we don't seem to get them anymore.
