Celebrating British country life circa 1950s, Born and Bred is the much revered TV series created by Chris Chibnall and Simon McCreery. Exploring the story of a close-knit family and the many unique characters that exist in the village of Ormston, Born and Bred is a delightful peek into an old-fashioned world. It is a time of post war optimism and, having lived in the sleepy village of Ormston all his life, Dr Arthur Gilder manages to persuade his son Tom to follow in his well regarded footsteps and together they tend to the community from the iconic yet run down cottage hospital. Tom is married to Deborah, who is chairman of the Parish Council and together they have four loving children - Helen, Michael, Catherine and Philip -- who help make the family home a colourful hub of drama and domestic activity. With an engaging population of intertwined characters, including hospital nurse Linda Cosgrove, her policeman husband Len, publican Phyllis Woolf and Reverand Brewer, Born and Bred Series 1 is an endearing study of village lifestyle in the charming British tradition of Heartbeat and Down To Earth.
