  • Could you please tell where I can watch more full episodes on line.

    Or if possible could you upload more. Its a work of genius.

  • I have a few memorable scenes which I have yet to upload. Don't really know about uploading the whole lot due to copyright..

  • Very powerful performances and such realism, the 80s was a very bleak decade, was cold and everything seemed to be dying, Jobs were very hard to find, even after these problems of the last year it was nothing to the 80s, I left school had to go on a YTS £15.00 a week, schooling was terrible no proper trained teachers left with nothing. This show brings those bleak times back to me. Things are hard now but not like back then. Great post.

  • As relevant today as it was back then...

  • yes it seems like yesterday

  • Today, the likes of Doctor Who are classed as adult drama on the BBC. Wasn't always like that.

  • @JONNOG88 In the 80's, countries like Portugal and Spain were still relatively poor. 

  • Watch this day Thatcher dies and spit on the vile bitch's grave

  • this bit always has me in bits...superb acting

  • How could Peter Kerrigan have died in 1977 when this was filmed in 1981?

  • @JONNOG88 Is different now back in the 80s everywere you looked was derelict. Its hard to explain but I know today we have a lot of unemployed and finance troubles but back then was a time of great trouble, miners were getting layed off we had a terrible Thatcher government, I got a terrible job I hated had to work sometimes 50+ hours a week for a pittance. Perhaps im biased just seems better now. A show like this could only be made in the 80s.

  • @AlannTH

    Really??.

    I was'nt alive in the early 80's. But I thaught that todays troubles are actually worse. Because now, unlike the early 80's. Entire coutries are effectively bankrupt, like Rep of Ireland, Greece, Portugal and Spain. But still great post thanks for the info.
