All Quiet on the Preston Front was a British comedy-drama series broadcast on BBC One between 4 January 1994 and 8 September 1997. Conceived by Tim Firth, the programme charted the lives, misadventures & relationships of a group of friends in the fictitious Lancashire town of Roker Bridge. The first series used the full title, All Quiet on the Preston Front, highlighting the military facet that initially united some of the characters. For the second and third series, the title was abridged to Preston Front, with a focus on the characters’ personal lives. Throughout its run, the series delivered a moving portrayal of small-town existence, capturing the tension between youthful idealism & the responsibilities of adulthood.
