genuinely fantastic programme. brilliant.
made even better by the fact its mainly filmed in the area of Manchester where I drink, and the house scenes about 500yards from my house. |

its the sort of programme that I probably
wouldn't have paid much attention to as a documentary, but was hooked as a drama.
I'm a bit ashamed to say that I didn't realise HOW bad it was in the 80s... I was born in 89 so missed a lot of it, I knew it was bad but in reality its a whole awful new level.
one of my best f mates is a huge  ally and has been talking to me about some
of the other stuff protest wise that was going on at the time. I'd like to think today the public
would be remembered more for doing the right thing. |

Like everything in this country now, the media (and I include social media in that) would create a divisive situation where people feel they share no common values with swathes of their own population
We share so much commonality, we are more alike than we are different, yet see polar agendas as opposed to the middle ground
It wouldn't be long before people were swinging the terms 'bigot' and 'snowflake' about |

"Is this a series? Is it available on catch up? "
Yes, it's on All4 (or whatever they're calling the Channel 4 catchup app now - I'm sure it was called "4Play" for a while!)
I've just watched the 1st episode and it's great, with a fantastic soundtrack. |

A good reminder of how far we have come.
The vicious, anti-gay policies by the Thatcher government well and truly kick started a gay and lesbian backlash as we took to the streets in response to section 28, (clause 27) in huge numbers.
The greatest promotion of homosexuality in the UK ever  |

My friend can’t forgive Keeley Hawes so hasn’t started watching Finding Alice yet. It was such a powerful programme, I cried so much but also understand so much more.
