Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play Alan Bleasdale&39;s hugely acclaimed series echoes the misery and despair of long-term unemployment Set in Liverpool these profoundly moving human dramas follow in turn the attempts of five working-class heroes to survive Running Time 306 minutes 110 minutes approx Alan Bleasdale&39;s Boys from the Blackstuff gripped television audiences in 1982 with its bleak fiercely funny exploration of the effect of the UK&39;s economic depression on a group of Merseyside characters originally introduced in his 1978 play The Blackstuff Bleasdale&39;s writing is unsparing in both its pain and its unconditional affection for characters being pushed to the very limit of civilisation Yosser Hughes (the outstanding Bernard Hill) is still and rightly recognised as one of the great creations of modern television drama a man on the brink of madness unlikeable ostracised digging a deeper hole with every desperate act but ultimately a human being deserving our sympathy The performances are wonderful throughout particularly Peter Kerrigan as Malone the once giant union leader reduced to a shadow but still with the spark that commands love and respect; Michael Angelis as Chrissie and in a typically sharp cameo Julie Walters as his wife "My dreams still give me hope and faith in my class I can&39;t believe there&39;s no hope" says Chrissie towards the end And it&39;s testament to Bleasdale&39;s skill and the resilience of his characters that somehow that flicker of hope remains unextinguished The blackstuff--the tarmac--of the title becomes increasingly ironic There is none The boys have no work The dole office scenes have a grimly nostalgic documentary quality Each second drips another droplet of disillusionment on people whose expectations are crushed by every effort to haul themselves up Thatcher&39;s Britain was a cruel place for many people The unspoken question that hangs in the air after watching Bleasdale&39;s poetic dissection of ruined lives is have things really changed that much?
