Sad news following Michael Angelis last year, two of the characters in Boys from the Blackstuff, one of the great series of the 80s. RIP...
Over Christmas they showed a pre BFTBS pilot called The Black Stuff The film Images had all the crackles on it. It was set in Sunderland and They got ripped off by Gypsies. Classic seeing Yosser and Loggo. I will never forget that show, bloody brilliant!

Bleasdale was a genius back then. “GBH” still ranks as one of my all-time favourite series.

The ‘Up’ series was groundbreaking and a fascinating study of the lives of a broad demographic over many, many years. I found the nature versus nurture angle of the series very interesting... you can neither escape your genes nor you circumstances that easily.
