    Bit of nostalgia.

    I remember watching this in 1989/90 & it's now on BBC iplayer. Still so enjoyable & real. It's fascinating seeing the cars & the clothes from only 34 years ago ( women in their 30s really did look old fashioned then!) & how it's all moved on so quickly. Quite gripping storylines & some really interesting characters. I thoroughly enjoyed it the second time around 34 years later, even though I found Margi Clarke quite annoying & was amazed no one was upset about the makeshift rabbit farm. This was the first of similar series set in the North...Clocking Off,etc & is well worth watching. Great cast.
