I found it both interesting and thought-provoking. Above all it seemed to capture life realistically in a working-class street in the 60s, and I probably am more sympathetic to the woman's pov of that era. Some things may seem incredible (like smoking on the underground, or cigarette machines in the wall in the hospital) but it was actually like that in those days. As a semi-documentary it worked very well, but I can understand why those looking for just another "fools n horses" farce would have been disappointed.
