Alun Weaver, a professional Welshman, retires and returns to his roots. While looking up his old mates and taking them on an extended pub crawl, many old affairs are revived and resentments rekindled. All the characters are forced to confront their past and present (though the darkness of the novel is somewhat toned down).
This great series, acted superbly by Britain's best, was never repeated and is not available on DVD. When will the BBC (and film companies) realise that its past is its future? BBC - you're sitting on a goldmine.
Back then, the BBC could do drama - now we're sinking in a drift of reality shows.
