- Synopsis:
- Set in 1960 Greenock, the hub of the Clyde's shipbuilding industry. Three friends are about to leave school, to be released into a wilderness of a town that seems to offer them nothing. Wonderful acting, witty dialogue, nostalgic footage and endearing characters combine to create a realistic, gritty, often harrowing, sometimes funny portrayal of school life in 1960's Scotland. Originally screened under the BBC2 Screen Two banner, written by Daniel Boyle, who went on to write TV dramas such as Taggart, Morse, Hamish McBeth, Rebus and Lewis.
