Historical context

"The Funk Hole"

Character and plot development

Andrew is temporarily invalidated home after a crash in his plane. After some misunderstandings, he and Sam begin seeing each other.

Historical context

* In the first year of the war, the British government made dire predictions of the amount of bombing in major cities that would occur, and moved large numbers of people out to the countryside. After a while, they reversed these predictions, but certain people preferred to stay in their temporary lodgings, out of danger, which they could do if they could afford to pay. Such hotels and guest houses became known as "funk holes" because their residents' actions were regarded as cowardice.
* Sam and Andrew attend a 6pm screening of "Gone with the Wind", which is nearly four hours long, but when they emerge from the cinema, it is still broad daylight. Although daylight saving time was in force at the time, it would still be dark long before the film finished (and pitch black, since the blackout was still in force).
