RIP Yosser aka Bernard Hill aka Théoden, King of the Mark!
My Dad is in his 70's and has worked at everything. Now he's retired he started watching this again yesterday. 2am he got to bed! He had forgotten how fantastic it was. Brilliant stuff.
This was the North in the 80's. I went to high school in 80 with the possibility of any job I wanted, when I left in 85 there was next to nothing left. I drive through a town full of retail parks and giant supermarkets where there were factories making anything and everything.
making nothing except the chinese rich, ban foreign imports
One of the best shows ever 😊
Alan bleasdale was my teacher in st columbas huyton ,nicknamed him ,bleep,lol he was cool full of imagination i remember,great fella. Me and my bro was trying to sag school and he pulled up in his little sports car and said get in as he was on his way their,oooo we wasnt happy lol
rest in peace bernard.
I watched this series when it was a rerun in 1989 as a 15 y/o. Back then this series seemed like it was set in a distant era, somehow much closer to the post war period in mood and tone. The gritty hopelessness of the early 80s had by that time long disappeared and yielded space to yuppies, XR3is and PWL hits. The seeds of a brasher New England had taken root, more prosperous but more shallow, ironically the foreshadowing of a deeply more impersonal and alienating nation.
The country went from the despair at the start of the eighties into a boom by 1985, It was, as you say, XR3is and yuppies. I can remember in 1988 hearing Ghost Town on the radin from 1981 and it felt like it was a song about a different world and so depressing compared with stuff like Kylie Minogue. There was, though, a nasty recession to come in the early nineties that saw me being a bit like Yosser, desperate to do any kind of work and wondering where the boom had gone. Things did pick up big time in the mid nineties and I did get a regular job, but it was tough for 3 years.
Well played Bernard Hill. From yosser Hughes to captain of the titanic. A. Life immortalised
Not forgetting King Theoden in LOTR and John Lennon in the play John, Paul, George, Ringo and Bert and he was in Wolf Hall, Gandhi and Shirley Valentine among other things.
One of the best dramas ever, I love everyone who was involved. ✌️☺️
I found out about this show after hearing Michael Angelis was in it. I watched it as it was his most famous role besides Thomas The Tank Engine, and I really enjoyed it. As someone who is job searching myself now I have left college a few years ago, and it is hard to find a job because of the pandemic and all the cuts that have been made in the past few years, it is nice to see a show I could relate to. Well done to the people who made it.
I think Michael died a few years ago. It’s sad because he was a great actor, who appeared in some memorable roles.
He also appeared in The Liver Birds and played one of Joseph’s brothers in a Biblical epic. It was odd imagining a Scouse accent in Ancient Israel, but then I remembered the booming Roman Centurion with an American accent in The Greatest Story Ever Told, bellowing John Wayne style, “Truly, he was the Son of God,” and then I thought, fair enough!
He also had a role in Common as muck.
Before Blackstuff, he was Lucien the rabbit obsessed hippy in The Liver Birds.
I grew up in 70/80s.. it is now 2022... anyone under 45 is in for a big standards-of-living shock.. people 50+ will know how to deal with it
You have a great point there. Coal fires and scaping ice from the inside of windows we can certainly deal with it as we have seen it all before.
@Tommy Snurkerburger poverty is relative.. I may have been wearing jumble sale clothes but spent every possible moment outside playing. Saved up birthday and xmas money to buy a bmx (which I looked after as I had saved so long for it), played on bmx, got paper round, used bmx to do paper round (Welsh valleys in winter with horizontal rain.. stamina building stuff), saved papers money for usual teenage stuff... far 'leaner' times in both senses. Life was simpler back then...
How much was your rent then? How much was a loaf of bread then? You’re made up that the younger generation has to suffer just because you had to selfish ald w@nker
Too right mate ..used to get bikes that me dad brought home in his coal lorry.n was happy playing footy all day n night with a flyaway ball .. these people who.ll only wear £100 trainers in for big shock ..me I can wear anything as long as its clean n washed 70s child
Well, I am 50+ as I grew up in the 70s and 80s too - so probably the same age!
When continuity announcers talked properly and TV was worth watching.
Spoke, not talked.
When continuity announcers talked raight not like they talked nowadays innit.
OK boomer
R.I.P. Bernard
Rip Alan igbon gone but never forgotten
I can't believe Michael Angelis was only 30 in this. People were genuinely older back then.
He was nearer 40!
38 :)
Never saw this show, but it looks interesting, especially with Michael Angelis in it.
"Send the stuff back then" "I would but I've sold most of it already!!" Lol!
Gizzar job
Some show!
RIP Alan Igbon
I have this on DVD and the novel.
RIP Michael Angelis
Aye that's what brought me here too. Funny that. Bless him. Can't believe it either he's so young
He was good actor RIP
Rest in Peace Mr. Angelis
Which part did he play
@@Roscoe.P.Coldchain He played Chrissy.
Quality of this is better than the version currently on Sky Go
Rip Michael Angelis
Tom Georgeson
, wow I'd recognize his voice anywhere.
Gizza job!
I can walk in straight lines
scouse and proud
I watched every episode when it came out, I was out of work and this made me feel like there was no future. Luckily ( with hard graft too) I got out of it
That guy in the dole office was a dead ringer for Jeremy Beadle.
I was in my early twenties when I watched boys from the black stuff fantastic and funny 😂👍🏻
Chrisi now Logo, both gone! R.I.P.
Whatever happened to the well spoken presenters of TV.
Errr ... this was almost 37 years ago ... the voice over man is probably enjoying his retirement.
@@stevegandalf4739 was he the only one that spoke correctly then?
The UK 2022.
My mate's uncle bossing it.
Where could this BBC shop be found? I don't get how people would access it, pre-internet days
Brilliant series
I thought someone threw something at Yosser at 1:29
A felt nowt
Scoucers need to bring the tach back
anthony bond
Was that a very young Stephen Graham?
I don't think so. He'd be a child at this time. Yossers children in BftBS are all played by Alan Bleasdale's children.
1:22 Them's fighting words to a red blooded Liverpool supporter lol.
Gezz a job .
