Frankie Goes to Liverpool
Frank Clarke , writer of Letter to Brezhnev and The Fruit
Machine, takes Paul Allen on a cultural tour of his home city. Where once the Beatles were idols, now Alan Bleasdale and Willy Russell are the local boys made good. As Clarke sees it, the working class are fighting for their voice. His itinerary ranges from a theatre group struggling on the dole, to the bingo on a Saturday night. Producer SIMON BROUGHTON
