Description:

The first episode of a brilliant series following four main characters & their changing lives, careers & relationships against the backdrop of the political & social events happening in the UK at the time.

Plot Synopsis by Alasdair Mackenzie: (found here...)

A nine part series depicting the varying fortunes of four friends; Nicky, Geordie, Mary & Tosker, from the optimistic times of 1964 to the uncertainties of 1995. Taking nine pivotal years (1964, 1966, 1967, 1970, 1974, 1979, 1984, 1987, 1995) the personal lives of the characters become intertwined with the political struggles of their home town of Newcastle, & the capital, London. We also see the machinations behind the scenes that affect their lives, often for the worse: slum housing projects, police corruption, the rise of Thatcherism, political sleaze, & specific events like the 1984 Miners Strike.

NB: I am re-upping this AGAIN as it has been a while since I've been able to upload anything & some of the info needed updating. Will be attempting to update my other torrents shortly & also, hopefully, get the last three episodes up as well - it just depends on how soon I can get these ones going.
