That last scene. So many are so close to this this feeling, with many men who've gone through that know how retched he feels.

Directed by John McKenzie of Long Good Friday fame who also made three other Play for Today classics Just a boys game, Just another Saturday and The Elephants graveyard collectively known as the Greenock trilogy all shot in and around Greenock on the river Clyde when I was growing up there in the 1970’s. If you think things are grim now you should check them out.

Not to many young lads want to get their hands dirty these days

You should see the thousands of young railway workers, roadies and builders heading up country at five in the morning just to keep their family in the manner that their parents never had. Don't confuse the layabouts you see in the media with these lads whose dads educated them as their own dads did them in their day. I work with a dozen young lads and lasses who aren't afraid of getting callouses on their hands doing overtime in the factory on a Friday night. Bugger the media. We're alright.

As this is obviously set in Stoke-on-Trent ( The Potteries) it's disappointing the production team think everyone north of Watford speaks with a yorkshire accent.
