This is a nine part series depicting the varying fortunes of
four friends - Nicky, Geordie, Mary and Tosker - from the
optimistic times of 1964 to the uncertainties of 1995. Taking nine
pivotal years (1964, 1966, 1967, 1970, 1974, 1979, 1984, 1987,
1995) the personal lives of the characters become intertwined with
the political struggles of their home town of Newcastle, and the
capital, London. We also see the machinations behind the scenes
that affect their lives, often for the worse: slum housing
projects, police corruption, the rise of Thatcherism, political
sleaze, and specific events like the 1984 Miners' Strike.
This is truly one of the finest series to come out of Britain.
It took writer Flannery 15 years to get the series made, and when
it was eventually produced the UK channel BBC2 spent their entire
drama budget for the year on it. However, it was a fine investment.
The lives of four friends from Newcastle are followed from
1964 to 1995, against a backdrop of massive social and political
change. It says much for the quality of the writing and the
performances of the principal actors that you find yourself getting
heavily involved with the characters' lives and caring a great deal
for them. The leads have gone on to further successes, but this
series catches them all early in their careers, and on astonishing
form.
This was, in hindsight, a good thing that it took so long to
get the show made. Flannery's original play ended in 1980, but the
elongated production process enabled him to write more and more
about the characters' fortunes, and take them another 15 years into
the future. The most changed character was Geordie, who served in
the army in Rhodesia in the original play, but finds himself
instead in swinging London in a strip club in the finished
series.
