Production
Produced by Yorkshire Television, the series was filmed from April to October 1982 in Liverpool, Yorkshire and Wales.
Willy Russell had his name removed from the credits after disagreements with the producers, particularly taking umbrage to the casting of Morrissey and Leigh whom he considered too old to portray the 16-year-old lead characters (they were 18 and 19 respectively at the time of filming). However, when the series was repeated on ITV in 1985, Russell's screen credit had been restored. In recent years, Russell has stated his intention to write a film adaptation, though this never came to pass.

All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify.
