    Didnt see it all, but the bits I did see showed Bradford up as looking really rough and depressing with some oddball characters.

    It's a bit like that Fawlty Towers quote isn't it?

    “Well may I ask what you expected to see *on a programme about Bradford*? Sydney Opera House perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plain....." :joy:

    Yeah it's certainly showing Bradford for what it is but balanced with such as Silsden and Ilkley, still found it absorbing and looking forward to the rest of the series..

    I quite enjoyed it, nurses were great.
    Loved the comments from the old lad in Silsden about the police.
    It did like to show streets full of terrace houses and every City shot seemed to have the smoking chimney at the bottom of Wakefield Rd in it.

    Should those poor sods who were finding life hard tighten their purse strings in this non existent cost of living crisis you deny exists?

    How did you feel about being reminded about the tory abandonment of bradford and further lies by rishi sunak and co who on record said we would get our investment in transport?

    Watching the show kinda showed what I see as the true Bradford. A place with very little going for it.
