To say this series was good is a huge understatement , a weekly anthology series featuring a story around the workers in a textile factory in northern England.
Some fine stories with a hint of mystery to keep you busy watching throughout each episode and sometimes without any real conclusion at the end but that just adds the feel of life carrying on as it does in ordinary situations.
Factories like the one depicted had started to die off decades before this series aired and it has a nostalgic feel of a workplace from the past rather than the present but again takes nothing away from this.
The individual stories are all powerful and the characters rich and interesting and ever so well written. What is most notable is the star studded cast of British acting talent.
The humour as you would expect is risqué to say the least and some of the scenes may well have offended the less broad minded and the women in the series give as good as they get in the era of the ' laddette '.
Exceptional series and well worth a watch.
