The Black Stuff (1980 TV Movie)
10/10
A tribute to the evil Margaret Thatcher.
6 January 2021
The dire conditions of early-80's Britain was exacerbated by AWFUL Prime Minister and chief salesperson of taxpayers assets, Margaret Thatcher, who happily became working-class Britain's arch-enemy.

Former working class herself (a grocer's daughter) Thatcher turned like a semi-automatic cobra on anyone less-fortunate than herself which including the hundreds of thousands of Britain's unemployed many of whom she had sent, or would send, to war with Argentina.

In stark contrast to one reviewer; I say that their is no real ha-ha humour in this excellent dramatic series which describes the atrocious conditions imposed on the British working people.

The individual characters created by Tony Bleasedale are masterful, the cast are incredible, and this gripping series deserved every accolade and recognition it received and will continue to receive.

As a Brit, I say it is a superb watch, accurate, and thoroughly recommended A1+++++.
