Bread

Welcome to Liverpool and to Kelsall Street. This is Margaret Thatcher's Britain, but there's a different iron lady in residence here. Meet Nellie Boswell, fearsome matriarch and mother of her faithful brood - Joey, Jack, Adrian, Billy and Aveline - and wife to the layabout Freddie, who's deserted her for `that tart' Lilo Lil. With Grandad next door, they're on the make and on the take, ducking and diving their way through life, funded by a never-ending series of scams and government handouts. You're sure of tears and tantrums, love and laughter - but never a dull moment if you join us on Merseyside for a perfect slice of Bread. (Universal Pictures UK)
