Overview

Over the course of four decades, the personal lives of a quartet of Newcastle friends—Nicky, Geordie, Mary, and Tosker—intertwine with various political machinations, often for the worse: slum housing projects, police corruption, the rise of Thatcherism, political sleaze, and specific events like the 1984 Miners' Strike.

Roughly 10h 30m to watch every episode. This is an estimate: 9 episodes at the typical episode runtime of 70 minutes.
