REVIEW: 'The movie barely had a plot, the TV version even less so, but it’s charming and at times poignant to see all the ways that Gaz’s world has and hasn’t changed.'
Time already seemed to have passed these lads by back in 1997, and matters have only grown worse. The social safety net has been stretched so thin that it can barely catch anyone as they fall. In a later episode, Horse — whose disability checks have stopped coming because a civil service bureaucrat unfairly reclassifies him as capable of working — talks about howsomehow feels harsher than it did in the Thatcher years, which he never would have thought possible.
Beaufoy and Nutter do a good job of reestablishing the city and its people. I haven’t watched the movie since it was in theaters, and hadn’t thought of it in nearly as long, but prior knowledge proves unnecessary. There are occasional references to events of the film, like when Guy and Lomper hooked up back then, but the show functions just fine as a pleasant, slightly whimsical tale of a working-class community where almost nobody works anymore.
