I watched that last night mate for the first time ever. It's hard to believe that Liverpool was that rough in the early 80's and that you could get away with wagging it for months on end, then dick about in class without getting torn a new arsehole from one of the violent teachers at my school at least. Norhing like where I grew up. It's very very grim depiction of life there.
Recently watched a realy grim series on Liverpool in early 80's.....Boys From The Blackstuff by Alan Bleasdale, realy is well worth a watch including the original 1979 1.5hr one. Realy makes life look tough and makes me a little guilty about being insulated from it all in the SE.
