Storyline

- TriviaShot exclusively on location, in Salford, Blackpool and a disused house in the Fulham Road in London that cost £20 a week to rent.
- GoofsWhile the teacher is reading from a book; at one point it cuts to two classmates who look back at Jo and start giggling. The cut is premature and makes no sense because when it cuts back to Jo, she is not doing anything to make them laugh. She is merely looking in a notebook. However it is in the next sequence of cuts when Jo begins to mimic the teacher thus causing the students to giggle.

Far From Sugar Coated...
You share a dingy single room with y'selfish mam, all she does is lounge around, spends time with men, but after school you've met a fella, cooks on a ship with a propeller, it's not too long before he's sailing out again. A trip, to the seaside, creates divide, with mam's partner who's quite spiteful and quite snide, you end up living on your own, not the most salacious home, but a new friend Geoff, is someone to confide. Then you find that you've a bun inside your oven, from the cook who gave you more than just a stuffing, and then your mother reappears, that last fella had her sheared, musical chairs, merry-go-round, life can be crushing.
Great performances all round, in a tale of its time that reflects the poverty of the day in Salford, both financially and emotionally, but it could be any city wasteland almost anywhere in the world.
