Welcome to Liverpool at the height of Thatcher's reign, where you had to be resourceful to survive. Just like the Boswells. They always knew how to work the system. And in the centre of this large Catholic family is matriarch Nellie Boswell (Jean Boht), surrounded by her sons Joey, Jack, Adrian and Billy and daughter Aveline, while her husband Freddie is rarely to be seen. With Grandad next door, Billy's Julie and their Francesca over the road and "that tart" Lilo Lil always in the background, life is always full. This release features every episode from Series Three and Four of Carla Lane's Bread.

Nellie, Joey, Jack, Adrian, Billy, Aveline and Freddie are the Boswells from Liverpool
