As someone whose from Manchester and lived there in the 80s/90s the memories this series brought back are excellent.
What really makes the show is the banter. Northerners are known for the banter and every episode is littered with one liners that from the time. Setting it in Stockport is a stroke of genius for many reasons. At this time many of us in Manchester thought Stockport was 'posh' and a great night out. People in Stockport cherished a Stockport address and looked down on Mancunians.
The two sisters at the centre of the story are great and watching Parker slowly unravel just adds a layer of dark comedy.
