Trivia
The Gatcombe Pub features, this was a well known drinking hole in Hartcliffe in the 1980s. As was The Town Talk which was on the outskirts of Hartcliffe. The Gatcombe no longer exists but The Towns Talk still does having been renamed The Yanliegh Inn.

Goofs
When the two blokes rock up to drop someone off in the gold coloured Mk 3 escort, the registration mark is wrong as Mk 3 escorts started with W registration whereas that one was R registered which is before the end of the Mk 2 escorts.

Fantastic bit of 80s working class nostalgia

I loved this film, I found it spot on with the humour and a great cast of characters all portrayed perfectly with brilliant acting.

OK, as a Bristolian who was around Hartcliffe, Withywood and Knowle West in the 80s I may be slightly biased. It was all the harsh realities of life on those estates but with the adding of a rose tint and great soundtrack.

The accents were generally acceptable if not perfect, the settings we're authentic if not always the actual location they were portraying.

The producers have done a great job of capturing a fun story and making a quality enjoyable film. I just hope it gets a wider audience rather than just a word of mouth and local audience.

Full credit to the writer.
