    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Although set in Dudley in 1975 (and in 1978 by the final series), the housing estate scenes were actually shot in Langley, Middleton. The estate was constructed after the second World War to rehouse people away from Manchester's Victorian slums and inner-city areas badly damaged by WWII bombings.
    • Goofs
      Darren Grimley, a science-fiction fan, has SF models which would not have been able at the time the series was set (the 1970s). In particular, a model of Deep Space Nine can be seen in one episode; this was not available until the 1990s.
