	Boys from the Blackstuff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Boys from the Blackstuff is a British television drama series of five episodes, originally transmitted from October 10 to November 7, 1982 on BBC2.
		The serial was written by Liverpudlian playwright Alan Bleasdale, and was a sequel to a television play called The Black Stuff, which he had originally written for BBC1's Play for Today anthology series in 1978, although it had languished untransmitted for two years before eventually being screened in 1980.
		Boys from the Blackstuff follows the stories of five unemployed tarmac layers (hence 'the fl stuff') after they have lost their jobs due to the events of the original play.

	Boys from the Blackstuff
		Boys From the Blackstuff, the first television series by Liverpool playwright Alan Bleasdale, was a technical and topical triumph for BBC English Regions Drama, capturing the public mood in 1982, at a time of economic recession and anxiety about unemployment.
		Bleasdale (who described it as "an absurd, mad, fl farce") originally conceived Boys From The Blackstuff in 1978 during filming for The Black Stuff (D. Goddard), his single play introducing the Boys as a tarmac gang (hence the title) and culminating in their sacking for "doing a foreigner" (non-contract job).
		But whilst technically a sequel, Boys From The Blackstuff was a deeper and darker investigation of character and circumstance consisting of five linked plays of varying lengths (from 55 to 70 minutes).

	Bleasdale, Alan
		The ability to create characters who capture the popular imagination was also apparent in Boys From the Blackstuff, the series which firmly established Bleasdale as a key figure in British television in the 1980s.
		Boys From the Blackstuff was first shown in a late-night time-slot on BBC2 in 1982 but proved so popular that it was quickly repeated in prime-time on BBC1 in January 1983.
		Bleasdale's political message was more explicitly stated here than in Boys from the Blackstuff, but the fiction was once again enriched by grotesque comedy, largely associated with the casting of Michael Palin, a member of the Monty Python troupe, as an unassuming school teacher who inadvertently becomes a symbol of resistance to the new order.
