We rarely give 10's, but we were so blown away by this series that we truly feel that it is merited in this instance.
What really sets Little Boy Blue apart is it's refusal to follow the formulaic over dramatised tear jerker style which is prevalent in this type of 'true story' telling.
And this is where it really grabs you and punches you in the gut. The emotion is so genuine that even hardened old cynics such as me and the wife had tears in our eyes at several points.
Having lived and worked the Midlands in inner city environment, the characters and settings were all too familiar, and totally convincing.
Great acting all round, with a special mention to the superb Steven Graham, who led us to this series after an outstanding performance in Save Me (check it out).
