Eastenders, anyone? Only Fools And Horses? Pure class there. Doesn't mean everyone in London sits in a launderette all day, or tries to sell dodgy gear on the market. I think Bread was simply about keeping it together during hard times and it happens to have been set in Liverpool. If people consequently think everyone in Liverpool was like that, it says more about their own ignorance than about the show.

A 'disgrace' of a series? Nearly 22 million people disagreed with you, as that was the top viewing figures for the series - the average was around 18 to 19 million. I didn't particularly like the 80s, but I'd rather be stuck there than with the garbage that passes for entertainment today.

I disagree totaly as do about half the Liverpool population living in Liverpool during the 80s, are they Ignorant to ? Bread never showed anything decent about Liverpool even the family was first and foremost Money orientated, there were and still are a lot of hard working people in Liverpool that earned and survived those tough times during the 80s with diginity and enterprise and with honesty. This show blackened the City for a long time,

I loved the show then and watching it again on DVD now, I enjoy it just as much. However, I am extremely annoyed that they have censored the bloody thing on DVD! Every strategically placed "bastard" and  "piss off" is now a bleep or a silence, thus taking the well-needed sting out of an otherwise rather goodie-goodie show.

If there was a show similare to this featuring Cockney or a Brummie family belive me you would have gotten many more complaints. If you Lived in Liverpool at this time during the 80s you would have seen the dislike this show was held . The 80s was a hard decade for the whole uk but to make a comedy in Liverpool about a family trying to make ends meat from any source, be it illigal buying selling goods, scrounging dole or other dodgy means did not do the city any favours at all.

I never got the impression from 'Bread' that it portrayed Scousers as workshy scroungers, I just saw it as a family surviving tough economic times by working the system as best they could, which was happening all over Britain, I dare say. It certainly was the case in London too.
