Andria appeared in Kathy Come Home
in 1966 As the BBC said :-
A controversial, moving and brilliantly acted, this film directed by Ken Loach
is arguably the most influential television drama ever broadcast.
Watched by 12 million people — a quarter
of the British population at the time — on its first broadcast on 16 November 1966, Cathy Come Home was a defining moment
in British television history. It provoked major public and political discussion and challenged the accepted conventions of
television drama.
The film tells the story of Cathy and Reg, a couple with three young children, who find their
life spiralling into poverty when Reg loses his well-paid job. Gripping and emotional, it remains a truly ground-breaking
piece of dramatic fiction, engaging viewers with social issues, such as homelessness, unemployment and the rights of mothers
to keep their own children.
Utilising documentary-style filming on location, the film consolidated director
Ken Loach’s reputation for hard-hitting social realism.
