First broadcast in 1996, Our Friends in the North is a drama about the lives of a group of friends from Newcastle, set across 30 years, tracking their shift from youthful optimism to middle aged reality.
James Bond actor Daniel Craig's career was launched by the show, with Craig even pulling off a decent Geordie accent. Real life events are woven into the nine-part series, such as the miners' strike, election battles and dodgy local politics.
Alun Armstrong, Christopher Ecclestone, Gina McKee and Mark Strong also feature in the series, with Armstrong playing a character inspired by infamous/famous Newcastle City Council leader, T Dan Smith .
Jarrow Born writer Peter Flannery created the series, initially as a stage-play.
