Boys from the Blackstuff is highly recommended. Network has also released Scully - a drama Bleasdale did just after Blackstuff. It is reviewed in this week's Radio Times. The Monocled Mutineer featured Paul McGann and was the story of Percy Topliss. Topliss was part of a family story repeated in my house many times before the show (I'll put something on my LJ about it in due course) and so I always had a special affection for the series.
