If you have been watching Australia’s favourite period drama season 4 of A Place to Call Home you may have noticed the show is turning full circle. The writers are exploring unexplained events that happened way back in Season 1 with implications for the characters in season 4.
SPOILER ALERTS FOR SEASON 1 & 2 Below.
You are viewing: Who Killed Bert In A Place To Call Home

The main one being who was really responsible for villain Bert Ford’s death and cover up. I had to really think about this for awhile as it was like a distant memory now. This was vaguely explained in images and chats with Sarah Adams set as an older woman in the future confessing her role and Bert’s young boy in season 2 opening episode.
If you have access to Foxtel on demand or the DVD’s a must watch is: Season 1, episodes 12 & 13 “New Beginning” and “Secret Love” are worth watching to refresh your memory.
Essentially the episodes are about Bert Ford discovering James Bligh’s homosexuality and blackmailing the Bligh family to keep quiet. George Bligh discovers James is a homosexual and rejects him consequently causing his son to have a nervous breakdown; the result is admission to a psychiatric institution to treat the 1950s view of so called deviant sexuality.

Other major concepts coming to a head in 1950s Australia were cross cultural ethnic differences and mixed religion in relationships with the possibility of being disowned/ loss of inheritance for not conforming. George Bligh learns this if he continues to pursue the relationship with Jewish Sarah Adams he will lose Ash Park which would have been a big social and financial loss back in the 1950s!
Furthermore will we see a return of Gino Poletti’s passionate Italian dad, mum and sister? This may have been a humiliating shameful event back then for an Italian parents only son to rebel by not finding a nice Catholic Italian girl to marry. Maybe that’s why they took Gino’s younger sister back to Italy so she wouldn’t get any future wild ideas of eloping.
So far I am really enjoying this season along with previous episodes and the set design and especially the edited shots of the Sydney Harbour Bridge without the massive modern skyscrapers in the background is impressive. The attention to detail in production is remarkable and the actors really put everything into their scenes.
