In order to intercept Joyce's interference with this plan, Frances enlists Claire in a plot to misdirect Joyce by making her think they are planning to use the church as the town's air raid shelter. Thus Joyce's efforts at stymieing Frances and the "new" WI, of which she strongly disapproves, are totally misdirected and the plan for the actual shelter proceeds without interference. When war is officially declared, the men of the town begin to consider what roles they might play. Miriam's son, David, is determined to enlist in the Navy, which terrifies her. He is brave and wants to enlist in the war, despite having unpleasant memories of the last conflict in which he served.
It’s therefore quite unfortunate to see the show go. We understand that such a comparison is rather unfair, given that American viewers are far more divided thanks to a much larger array of viewing options, but the show still produces good ratings. Funding for MASTERPIECE is provided by Viking and Raymond James, with additional support from public television viewers and contributors to The Masterpiece Trust, created to help ensure the series' future.

I am currently watching Home Fires tv series in Denmark. I remember the Second World War very clearly and the producers have tried to recreate small town life in the 40's with a degree of success. However, I cannot understand why they don't have the scripts checked and get advice about wartime pronunciation. For example, I have heard two actors say 'skedule' and not schedule. Nobody said the American pronunciation which became popular during the 'Friends' long running comedy series among younger viewers. And the young lad on the farm greeting a lady exclaiming 'Hi !
Her own marriage has run into difficulties on account of some hitherto unexplained decision of Douglas to go into politics. While the couple argues over the phone, Jenny listens in from the phone exchange and misinterprets a stray remark to mean that Joyce is a Nazi sympathizer. Next thing you know, a swastika has stained Joyce’s house and a brick shattered a window.
What does the future hold forHome Firesseason 3 following tonight’s season 2 finale on PBS? While we can tell you that the show is canceled, nothing is forever in the world of television these days. We’ve seen shows get canceled and then find homes elsewhere, and there are also other mediums to continue to tell stories.
That bad news is that she’s walking a tightrope, and has to be very careful about some of the people figuring out her secret. If the wrong person learns about her new relationship with Marek, they could run back and clue Bob in on what’s happening. She deserves happiness, but unfortunately, she’s in a position where this is not going to come altogether easy for her at all. The first season had a consolidated average rating of 6.2 million viewers to date and a 24 per-cent share.
In the final episode of the first series, Bob leaves for London, leaving Pat relieved and happy to be away from him, whilst Joyce leaves for the coast. She speaks with Frances over the war effort and hands over the keys to her tennis courts so that they may be used for food production. As the series finishes the final scene hints at the war taking its toll in Great Paxford. Teresa realizes that neither Steph nor her son can read and is in danger of losing the farm because, since she can't read them, she is not complying with government regulations about wartime farming. She teaches Steph to read in order to save the family farm from confiscation due to noncompliance with government farming regulations. When war becomes even more certain, Frances and the WI decide it is time for a community air raid shelter to be installed in case of an attack.
June 2015, ITV announced that it had ordered a second season of the programme. Samantha Bond was nominated for an award from the Satellite Awards. Season 2 met with similar success compared with Season 1 as the premiere episode gained 5.2 million overnight views, with the second episode reaching 4.7 million views. Just days after the broadcast of the final episode of season 2, ITV announced it was cancelling the show and there would be no third season. A network spokesman said that despite the show's success, "the ITV commissioning team continues to refresh the channel's drama portfolio, hence the decision not to commission a further new season."
