The television version of Tony Roper's tragicomic play about women struggling to finish their chores in a wash-house before the 1953 Hogmanay celebrations get under way. Starring Dorothy Paul, Eileen McCallum, Katy Murphy, Sheila Donald, Faye Milligan and Peter Mullan.
I laughed and gret ma way through this first time, and did it a again. Fantastic, drama, should be aired more frequently.

@n0iwont my mother used to hand scrub heavily stained items in the sink on a wash board before putting them into the washing machine. Detergents weren't "biological" in those days. Elbow grease and sweat was what cleaned clothes, even when women first got washing machines.

excellent & glad Peter Mullan has helped to save an original steamie: Govanhill Baths !! This is a briliant, funny and sad, social commentary on real life set in Glasgow. Just love it ! Any more to come? Will always love THE STEAMIE !
