First viewed : 6 January 1989
This was a popular series at the end of the eighties but you don't hear it mentioned much these days. It was another comedy drama from Francis Roddam, creator of Auf Wiedersehn Pet .Set in various locations around Greater Manchester, the show revolved around the lives of a number of women working in an electronics factory. It gave a starring role to Margi Clarke as the mouthy Scouser Queenie who ended up with loser Chunky ( ex- Flying pickets singer Brian Hibberd ). It also marked the beginning of Keith Allen's straight acting career as the manager Rex Buckley in the first two series. New Order supplied most of the music.
I seem to recall Tracie Bennett from Coronation Street got her boobs out in a lesbian scene at some point.
I just dipped into it from time to time never really settling down to watch it properly. It ran for three seasons from 1989 to 1991.
