Boys from the Blackstuff - Season 0 Episode 3 Bernard Hill Remembers... Boys from the Blackstuff

Bernard Hill remembers Boys from the Blackstuff, Alan Bleasdale’s iconic drama, which is being shown again as part of the BBC’s Centenary celebrations, and which was once described as ‘TV’s most complete dramatic response to the Thatcher era’. Hill’s performance as Yosser Hughes, with his ‘Gizza job’ catchphrase, captured the public’s imagination in a way that few roles have since. Here he looks back on how he got the part, why it struck such a chord, and what audiences should take from ‘Blackstuff’ today.
