Following on from my previous post about images of Liverpool in the 80s, this is by far the most affecting scene from Alan Bleasedale's "Boys From The Blackstuff":

In the episode "George's Last Ride", local actor & trade unionist Peter Kerrigan dispensed with Bleasedale's script, thinking it it defeatist & bland, & delivered an impromptu soliloquy which he felt better represented the character he played as he lived out his final moments at the then disused Albert Dock. Kerrigan was spot on & it made for one of the most arresting & searing moments in British TV drama.
