871 True Stories : Maggie's Children
First viewed : 26 July 1988
This was a provocatively-titled Channel Four documentary about eight young people in Leeds ranging from a would-be yuppie to an unemployable punk known only as Scum. The programme had no overarching narration, letting the subjects tell their own story. I recall Scum saying that things would tick over nicely as long as they kept the benefits coming . I wonder what he's not doing these days. There was also a young lady whose name I can't recall who got by, swinging her very considerable assets at a seedy club.
