Many of these dramas were set in the North Of England and showed life as it was then , often gritty and controversial for the times .

The Price Of Coal

Spend Spend Spend

And this classic starring Bill Maynard and written by Colin Welland called " Kisses at 50 "

This was filmed around Heckmondwike I believe .

Very gritty and controversial .

Thanks for posting that Animal. Really thought provoking drama, well acted and well written.

When I think about how life can become for most couples of over a decade or more, it's easy to drift and get in a rut. The relationship can easily go stale if allowed to. Day to day life gets in the way. I reckon most couples who reach the 20 year + mark or when their kids have grown up might experience this. Sadly other things go with it too like a lack of self esteem, weight gain, low libido etc. It's hard work is a relationship and keeping it alive.


On the other hand and looking from an alternative angle, It also shows the absurdity of marriage. Sorry if that offends but I'm an atheist and grew up in a broken marriage. Kind of put me off it to be fair. However, I tried to learn from my parents mistakes and incorporated certain values into my philosophy as the years went by. It's not an exact science though is it? It's about the people involved in a relationship. Sometimes good values or bad, relationships are just sometimes destined not to be.
