Beautiful and poignant depiction of the plight of the Working class!

Great and impactful piece. A story about the everlasting struggle of the common person being systematically explored for their work.

I wasn't going to review this but, the only other review this episode has, makes me absolutely sick. I don't know if it was ignorance or sheer malice from that user, but, the way he tries to spin this by blaming the main characters' situation on benefit claimers, then trying to clear politicians and the burgeois from responsability of the lives they hurt by selfishness. Just felt like a Thatcherist apologist trying to demonize real working people.

Just turned up on BBC 3, watched this episode and bumped into Snowy the next day and had a nice chat about how things have actually got worse since then.

Trivia
Bernard Hill recalled that while he was in-between filming the scene where Yosser attempts to build a wall, a man approached him and asked if he was looking for work.
