Bread (1986)	comment	Bread was a Brit Com that ran from 1986 to 1991. It was about the working-class Boswell family of Liverpool: Apron Matron Nellie (Jean Boht), and her children Joey (Peter Howitt, then Graham Bickley), Jack (Victor McGuire), Adrian (Jonathon Morris), Aveline (Gilly Coman, then Melanie Hill), and Billy (Nick Conway). The title refers to Cockney rhyming slang for money (bread and honey = money) and was about attempting to keep the family financially afloat in Thatcher's Britain.A BBC publicity photo of the show's cast on board the Mersey ferry was captioned Bread Cast upon the Water.

This also meant that each episode was not self-contained, but the plot unfolded as the series progressed. This was unusual for a comedy at the time, but has been used to great effect by comedies since.
