What is Boys From the Blackstuff about?
Gizza job. Go on, gizzit, go ‘head, giz it if you’ve got it, giz it, I can do it. Giz it then. Go ‘head, gizza job!
Shellsuits, chicken and chips, Echo & The Bunnymen, this is 80s' Liverpool. Chrissie, Loggo, George, Dixie and Yosser are used to hard work and providing for their families. But there is no work and there is no money. What are they supposed to do? Work harder, work longer, buy cheaper, spend less? They just need a chance.
Life is tough but the lads can play the game. Find the jobs, avoid the ‘sniffers' and see if you can have a laugh along the way.
Alan Bleasdale’s ground-breaking television series was essential viewing in the 80s. Only nine weeks after the initial transmission ended, it was re-shown on the higher-profile BBC 1. The series was repeated in full again to celebrate BBC 2s 25th anniversary in 1989.
This unmissable and powerful adaptation by James Graham (Sherwood) is not to be missed.
