What a real tour de force of British television. I love these 80s and 90s dramas and this one is probably one of the best I've seen. It's long, dark, gritty, dialogue heavy and all the characters' stories interact so beautifully. The writing is second to none and when people say 'they don't make them like this anymore' .. with regards to this, never before or since! Just watch it. It's perfect tv.
