It was so gritty and realistic as well. The backing sounds were so daunting and dark,, they'll never find writers and actors like that nowadays, the director played a big role in that as well.
I'm an AMERICAN, and I remember seeing it, and thinking it was one of the finest things I'd ever seen on television. 1994, and talking about identity politics and the splintering of the left. And the rise of resentment, right-wing populism. Coltrane and Carlyle. Brilliant and more timely than ever.
two nights ago i fancied watching to be a somebody again, so i found it online and watched it. Girlfriend was curiuos as to what she was hearing from my laptop so i casually explained what it was in like 2 sentences. now videos like this are on my youtube front page, no joke, fuck google.
It took me YEARS before I could watch anything with Robert Carlyle without bias, because my in initial thougt was "that swine killed Billborough!" I wish I could say I was a teenager back then, but I was 26 when that episode aired. And I hated, hated, hated him for that. I'd rather blame this on Carlyle being such a great actor, but probably I was just stupid.....😟
He's was brilliant in the role. In a brilliant series. With brilliant writing and casting. Just brilliant.
Remember watching it as a young teenager and it staying with me till this day. Just one of the most powerful performances that’s ever been delivered.
Watched the 'Cracker' series again this week.
It's as good now as it was then
One of the finest 2 hours of TV ever made that episode.. still as shocking today as it was back then.
