Bernard Hill's Yosser Hughes defined an era in this city liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool…
Can’t think of a better cause than this - good luck to Andrew as he raises money for brilliant charities in memory of #Rycroft 💜💛💚 Support if you can 👇🏼

#OTD 1997. On Day 5 of the new Labour Government, Gordon Brown announces the Bank of England independence. As a monetary policy committee is set up to decide interest rates, Brown says the move will “give businesses and families the confidence to plan ahead”.
#OTD 2010. Election. Hung Parliament. David Cameron promises to make a "big, open and comprehensive offer" to the Lib Dems Gordon Brown admits "we find ourselves in a position unknown to this generation of political leaders".
We were literally talking about “shake-hands” in work the other week. So strange, bleak, dramatic and funny. RIP Bernard, you played quite the character in Yosser

George's Last Ride, the final episode of BFTBS, is just astonishing. It hits every single emotional key, and Hill was brilliant. A man who had lost every single thread connecting him to society , but stll fought on like Monty Python's Black Knight, but with mental health.

This was the first drama on tv that encapsulated the fear, shame and embarrassment of unemployment. A fucking gamechanger.

There actually aren’t the words to express what I felt and thought when I watched this series only fairly recently. Bernard Hill’s portrayal of Hughes will live through the ages & every person will be able to understand the brutal honesty of that situation - working class or not

A game changer of a drama. A game changer of a performance, Bernard Hill’s performance as Yozzer, a one off. Rest in peace

Bernard Hill’s portrayal of unemployment and family breakdown on his mental health - in Boys From the Blackstuff - will be remembered as one of the greatest performances in British TV history RIP 🥀
Devastated to hear that Bernard Hill has died. I remember watching Boys from the Blackstuff when I was a kid and it left a mark on me that’s there to this day. The whole thing is essential but his performance was exceptional, as it was in so many other roles. Rest in peace.
Peak rugby league in the UK 😍
After three consecutive defeats, Tory grandee Norman Tebbit argued that the public still hadn’t forgiven them for Black Wednesday….. Will we still talking about the Truss mini-budget in 13 years time?
#OTD 2005. General Election. Blair secures a third term, becoming first Labour leader to do so but majority is reduced 66. He says party has been rewarded for having the courage to take “difficult decisions”.

"What we’re talking about is counter-revolution. The revolution is already taking place. We intend to oppose it." It's 45 years today since the 1979 general election that took Margaret Thatcher to Downing Street. thelionandunicorn.wordpress.com/2019/03/30/whe…
#OTD 1979. General Election. Margaret Thatcher secures victory on a 5.2% swing, the biggest since Clement Attlee‘s in 1945. The next eighteen years would change Britain - and rugby league - beyond recognition 👇🏼
And the prize for the best page in any manifesto at these elections goes to … … @salford_mayor and @SalfordLabour. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Bernard Hill’s portrayal of unemployment and family breakdown on his mental health - in Boys From the Blackstuff - will be remembered as one of the greatest performances in British TV history RIP 🥀
@labour_history @patrickkmaguire Oh man. I watched the original play for today ‘The blackstuff’ on Friday in preparation for watching the series. It just reminds you how little the Tory government cared for the working person.
@labour_history Broadcast in autumn 1982, I naively thought that nobody who saw it could ever vote for Margaret Thatcher and her government. In June 1983, the electorate gave her a 144 seat majority.
@labour_history @ScouseLakes The first time I remember crying for a TV drama.
@labour_history Rest in Peace, Bernard Hill. I know he had a long and distinguished career but his portrayal of Theoden was the stuff of legend.
Sometimes I kid myself that I’m still young and then I see photos like this and feel ancient. Look at that telly! Another world.
