Victoria Wood's fantastic television film, 'Pat and Margaret'.

Set in Lancashire, filmed partly in Blackburn.

IMDb - Pat and Margaret (TV 1994)

No John, June Ritchie was the female lead in this film directed by John Schlesinger.
Perhaps you are confusing it with A Taste of Honey . Rita Tushingham was in that one.

It could be Lancashire, in Thatcher's Britain, but isn't.

IMDb - Rita, Sue and Bob Too! (1987)

Set in that county, just t'otherside o' Burnley.

:D

Aspiration and degradation.

Thatcher's Britain.

Nice you appreciate this celluloid documentation of those times.

Love on the Dole a 1941 movie set in Salford , evdently the Govt. prevented the film being made during the 30s depresion because of topics such as sex outside of marriage and working class poverty

Brilliant
Ezra Fitton: All this reading books he does, it's not natural.
Lucy Fitton: You wouldn't know what natural is.
Ezra Fitton: My father always used to say if it were natural you'd see animals doing it. I never saw a horse reading.

Bit of trivia, the younger brother who likes Hayley Mills (who wouldn't) is played by Murray Head who went on to sing "One Night in Bangkok"

I just had a disturbing mental picture of you, Peter, and Ken, doing the dance in the film to that track, in the Con club.

I hope to God my Nan wasn't there that night, being gang banged.
