Picture Right to Left: Yosser Hughes (Bernard Hill), Kevin Dean (Gary Bleasdale), Chrissie Todd (Michael Angelis), Dixie Dean (Tom Georgeson), Loggo Logmond (Alan Igbon), and George Malone (Peter Kerrigan).

Boys from the Blackstuff: an insightful drama to our own hard-hit times

bySéamus O’Hanlon

Alan Bleasdale’s revered 1982 television mini-series Boys from the Blackstuff is brave, bleak and though occasionally boring, is rather brilliant.

Known as a “suburban utopia where all races can live in harmony”. Jews and African Americans “poured in for utopia”. Non-Jewish white residents fled. Shaker innovated the policy of using financial incentives to encourage white families to remain. The high school is half African American and half white, but the first episode makes it clear that racial codifiers like neighbourhood predetermines academic performance.
