"Our Friends in the North" BBC Drama

I saw it when it was first on TV in the 1990s. It was an excellent social history of Britain, making great drama from issues around urban planning. Very clever story telling that was able to tie the narrative together across several decades by reconnecting with the lead characters once every few years.

The actors looked too old at the beginning and too young at the end, but you chose not to notice because of the quality of the rest of it.

For other great British TV of the 90s see Cracker.

I recall the occasion on which I was introduced to a Dr Hu in central Hubei. Sadly, I was the only person in the vicinity who found it remotely entertaining. If you want to check out some other top quality British entertainment then check out the BBC's recent adaptation of Sherlock Holmes - mobile phones 'en all.
