is a 1998 BBC Scotland television drama starring Robert Carlyle as a petty thief turned drug dealer in Edinburgh in the 1980s. It is set in and around the North Sighthill housing estate.
These very Days led to the HIV AIDS and Hep-C epidemics which have blighted Edinburgh ever since.Strange how the Police were largely to blame crushing peoples new Works.This all led to the sad greed drug addled times we have grown
so used today.It's a brilliant series but oh so SAD.
This "shit" as you so eloquently call it is part of a fantasticly accurate and well made mini-series about the drug culture and the chaos it caused - and is still causing - in the working class housing estates of 1980's Edinburugh.
By the way only a proper bam would call this shite, ken? ;)
12/10/08: If anyone knows were to get hold of 'Looking After Jo Jo' on DVD, in the UK, please let me know. I have been searching for this for sometime and keep getting told that it has been discontinued... :)
This definitely reminds me of "Scarface"...only not flashy.
