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.

[@uktruecrime]

[@paulhaywood1615]

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.

[@PennyBloater]

Indeed. The Peter McDougall plays are all brilliant.

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

[@RobertLocksley385]

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.

[@shirley8155]

Poor bloke got it hard. Most of us have been through hard times tho'. Thanks for the upload.

[@jasperedwards2713]

[@clivebonneywell6967]

Quality programme very much missing today

[@duncancartlidgeonline2457]

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.

[@jasperedwards2713]

thats why they disrepect him because he was in jail

[@junelawson5100]

Nobody’s perfect

[@petercollingwood4108]

[@tridbant]

When I worked I never went home wearing overalls. There was always a locker. Making a big deal out of a 5/32nd drill. Plus three sparkies? When I did shutdown There was three fitters, only one sparkie and a plumber

[@senecaknowledge2274]

I think you’ve missed the point of this play pal

[@tridbant]

@@senecaknowledge2274 I felt it gave the wrong impression of tradesmen to viewers.
