Our Friends in the North
Created by Peter Flannery
On BBC Two
A novelistic four-decade chronicle of working-class friendship and political disillusionment in Newcastle, where personal bonds are tested by the machinery of history.
Over the course of four decades, the personal lives of a quartet of Newcastle friends—Nicky, Geordie, Mary, and Tosker—intertwine with various political machinations, often for the worse: slum housing projects, police corruption, the rise of Thatcherism, political sleaze, and specific events like the 1984 Miners' Strike.
