I am in bits watching this amazing drama of the outcome of the Hillsborough disaster. Maxine Peake is amazing, simply amazing: Maxine Peake who played Twinkle in Victoria Wood's Dinnerladies, as a moody, sarky, awkward, bolshie young lady with some of Victoria's best lines. But here she is absolutely fully convincing as Anne Williams, the distraught mother of her son, Kevin, who was killed at Hillsborough on that fateful day. The drama is riveting and convincing helped of course by the truth which has subsequently come to light regarding the attempted police cover up. The scene in ep2 with PCSO Martin is off the scale in terms of emotion.
