The Potato Factory

The Potato Factory is definitely true in style if not completely in content to the novel.

It gives the typical Courtenay piecemeal character development, in stuttered episodic fashion, telling the same old story, with slight variations on locations, period characters etc. As I said, if you're a fan of Courtenay's work, you'll will no doubt love it.

For me, I wish I watched the Graham Kennedy special which aired on the same night. 4 out of 10.

Loved the books, the adaptation not so much. It has so much potential!! I hope they are snapped up and shown the honour they deserve.. NETFLIX, HBO etc

Unable to watch the potato factory on here after googling where to find it to watch last night. I've tried to access it more than a dozen times and still can not watch it. Not happy. So if I've gone to all the trouble of searching for a series to watch, and finally find it but still can not access it even after signing up to this platform and others to access it but still can not watch it. Then why put it up for review. How can anyone review a series if they can not watch it. There is no way to review a program that you can not gain access to, to watch. There for no way to give an overview or opinion on . So I think that isa total cop out.

After all the pre viewing hype I found this mini series to be not as good as I had hoped for.The story line was confusing and the acting left something to be desired.Lisa McCune in her first major role tried hard to be the heroine but she did not fit the part as a London cockney and her accent was false.However for an Aussie production it was quite good viewing and such series should be encouraged.
