I'm actually quire impressed with it it's much better than I could do Down the road, some eastern Europeans are working on what I think will be a block paved drive when they've finished, but they are being really thorough with it, digging it out quite deeply. They've alreadyspent three weeks on it and sent three skips of old tarmac and earth out. And they've taken off the top layer of tarmac from the pavement, which I guess was on the owner's instructions. I've just seen them using a laser level, which I've never seen with local paviers. If it does finish up block paved it'll be suitable for parking a tank I reckon. |

Written by the same writer and with largely the same cast. It paints a background you need to know to get the most out of TBFTB. "The Blackstuff" depicted the gang mustering in Liverpool and travelling by crewbus to Yorkshire (Leeds, I think - the setting for most of the action). The later series was set entirely back in Liverpool. The DVD box set contains the original film as well as the series. |

Although all the episodes had their amusing bits, they were, if I remember correctly, very hard watching at times, particularly "Yosser's Story". Light entertainment it most certainly wasn't!
