Boys from the Blackstuff: George's Last Ride

on BBC One London

The last of five programmes by Alan Bleasdale
A lifetime of adversity has left George's beliefs unbroken. Putting belief into practice is still a compulsion when he can escape from his sick bed. When the end comes the easygoing Chrissie discovers a legacy - and finds that something must be said.
"A series of unusual power - set firmly in the new post-industrial Britain. Will not soon be forgotten." (Daily Mail)
BBC Pebble Mill
(First shown on BBC2)
