== Trama ==
Si trasferiscono dalla madre di Reg, finché non si sviluppano tensioni tra lei e Cathy. Una gentile padrona di casa anziana, la signora Alley, li prende in affitto per un periodo, durante il quale Cathy ha altri due figli. La signora Alley permette alla famiglia loro di rimanere anche quando rimangono indietro con l'affitto. Tuttavia, la donna muore all'improvviso e il nipote, unico erede, sfratta la coppia. La famiglia si trasferisce poi in un caravan parcheggiato in un campo dove altre famiglie vivono in caravan, ma i residenti locali si oppongono al campo e lo mettono a fuoco, uccidendo molti bambini. Cathy, Reg e i loro figli sono costretti a occupare illegalmente un edificio abbandonato. Ripetutamente cercano di ottenere un alloggio decente attraverso il consiglio locale, ma non sono aiutati a causa dei loro frequenti spostamenti e della lunga lista di altre persone che cercano assistenza per l'alloggio.
Riga 38 ⟶ 36:
Cathy e Reg decidono di separarsi temporaneamente in modo che Cathy e i bambini possano andare in un ricovero per senza fissa dimora dove i mariti non possono soggiornare. Reg inizia a cercare lavoro. Alla fine, la solitudine e la frustrazione di Cathy esplodono e la ragazza diventa belligerante con gli amministratori del ricovero, che spesso sono freddi e critici verso le donne che vivono nel rifugio. Il tempo di Cathy nel ricovero scade mentre Reg è via, e lei e i suoi due figli rimasti (uno è stato mandato a vivere con la madre di Reg) non hanno un posto dove andare. Si recano in una stazione ferroviaria, dove i figli vengono tolti a Cathy dai servizi sociali.

Cathy Come Home was a defining moment in 1960s television, demonstrating how far drama could influence the political agenda. The controversy generated led to public outrage at the state of housing in Britain, and gave a welcome boost to the (coincidental) launch of the homelessness charity Shelter a few days after the play was first broadcast. The success of Cathy established director Ken Loach as a politically committed filmmaker standing apart from the commercial mainstream, and demonstrated again his sensitivity to his usually working-class characters. With its abandonment of the confines of the studio in favour of ___location filming, and its innovative use of documentary techniques - owing something to the Free Cinema movement associated with filmmakers like Lindsay Anderson and Karel Reisz - Cathy played an important part in the development of television drama. Loach himself had been attempting to break free of the usual restrictions of TV drama since the early '60s, notably with the series Diary of a Young Man (BBC, 1963) and an earlier Wednesday Play, 'Up the Junction' (BBC, tx. 3/11/1965), which also starred Carol White (as did his first cinema release, Poor Cow (1967)). While some critics remained uncomfortable about the blurring of the distinction between drama and documentary, there was little argument about the play's power. If anything, its reputation has grown in the years since it first appeared - in September 2000, Cathy Come Home came in second place in the Britsh Film Institute's TV 100 poll of industry figures, behind Fawlty Towers. Loach returned to similar themes in his 1994 film Ladybird, Ladybird.(screenonline.org.uk/tv/id/438481/)

We were formed in 1966, in response to the country’s massive housing crisis. This organisation was Shelter. That same year the BBC screened Cathy Come Home; a Ken Loach directed film, about a young family pulled apart by worsening housing conditions. Watched by over 12 million people, its impact ensured public empathy and support for Shelter from our very beginning.(england.shelter.org.uk/our_work/history)
