Boys from the Blackstuff: 4: Yosser's Story

on BBC One London

by Alan Bleasdale
[Starring] Bernard Hill as Yosser and Jean Warren as Maureen
with James Ellis as the wino
also with the participation of Graeme Souness and Sammy Lee.

'I'm Yosser Hughes.' Once Yosser dreamt of making it big - as the boys have good reason to remember. Now his dreams have shrunk to one pervading nightmare - losing his children. Life presents one challenge to his manic competitiveness-hanging on to them at any cost.

"Performance of the week came from Bernard Hill as Yosser Hughes. Make that performance of the year - a script of classic, unsparing tragedy." (Daily Express)
"As disturbing and powerful as any drama seen recently on television." (Standard)
