Boys from the Blackstuff

Chrissie, Dixie, Yosser, Loggo and George sign on before heading off to work for Malloy.

Dixie takes a night shift job down at the local docks and is drawn into something he never imagined.

Chrissie and Angie are driven to despair by money problems and the DoE investigators.

Yosser, alone with custody of his children takes desperate measures to get a job. Yosser looks like the pressure of life has finally beaten him.

An ill George Malone reminisces about his hopeful, politically active youth.

As George's health declines, his belief in the values of Old Labour remain unshaken. Chrissie takes him for one last tour of the now-abandoned docklands where he once worked, and they have what may well be the most important and heartfelt conversation of their long friendship.
