Is truly brilliant 👏 👌 🙌 ❤️

I’m of age who will always associate the words Unemployment & Liverpool
with Jimmy "Yosser" Hughes fictional character, brilliantly played by Bernard Hill in Alan Bleasdale's 1982 (written in 1978) television series #BoysFromTheBlackstuff - ‘Give Us A Job, I can do that!’ 🥲

When I first watched Boys from the Blackstuff on the telly over 40 years ago, Yosser Hughes scared the hell out of me. Last night I got to see yosser and the Boys for real @theatrclwyd.bsky.social and it was very moving and emotional.

Went on an impromptu date night to see #boysfromtheblackstuff at @derbytheatre.bsky.social last night and we absolutely loved it. Outstanding all round. No notes.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

A tense scene from Boys from the Blackstuff shows several uniformed police officers forcefully restraining a distressed man in black clothing at centre stage, while another man in casual clothes pulls on one of the officers. The dramatic lighting and body language convey intense conflict and resistance, capturing a moment of struggle and chaos

#BoysFromTheBlackstuff opens TONIGHT at 7:30PM at #DerbyTheatre!

James Graham’s gripping take on Alan Bleasdale’s iconic drama lands with power and heart.

Boys From The Blackstuff in Liverpool Empire Theatre

I watched #BoysFromTheBlackstuff yesterday with an amazing party of people.

The memories of such turbulence and heartbreak are still so very strong.

“Fight back you bastard, fight back” has never been more relevant.

#SocialistSunday

Well,what can I say about #boysfromtheblackstuff at the Liverpool empire tonight. Simply brilliant. No more.

Peter Reid and Alan Bleasdale

Happy birthday Alan Bleasdale
