With a small audience, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who loves a strong character drama.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, hour-long episodes, about 12 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Nothing much for most grown-ups.
It's 1986 - the year Maradona ends England's World Cup dreams in Mexico; the year Top Gun is the highest grossing film; the year over 3.4 million Brits are unemployed and the year Shaun is leaving school.
