Mix Tape

[William Treseder]

Anyone else watched this on BBC iPlayer ?
A four parter starts off in Sheffield in the 80’s where 2 school kids get together, through their love of music, split up, then meet each other again later in life.
Really good story and a brilliant 80’s sound track. Well worth a watch imo. 👍

Re: Mix Tape

We watched it a few weeks ago and loved it. Nice bit of nostalgia.

Re: Mix Tape

We also watched it a few weeks back - partly for the Sheffield setting and partly for the music. It was very good - much better than I expected.

Re: Mix Tape

I enjoyed it, and the music was brilliant - but I couldn't quite get over how unrealistic the scene at the Bramall Lane away end was.

Also, they totally messed up the age of the charachters; given they met as teenagers in the 80s.

Perhaps I should have let these things go.

I'm sure you have suspended your belief in reality quite a few times if you're a City fan.

We thought the same about the adult characters’ age - but I think (after checking) the ‘now’ is supposed to be set just over 10 years ago which makes it more believable but still a stretch.

Some of the Sheffield scenes were clearly not filmed in Sheffield…. although enough were.

Out of interest where were they filmed?

Can’t remember - but I think some scenes were done in somewhere like Wigan. May even have been Wigan.

The pigeon shed was too basic for Sheffield. Around here they are feathery palaces!

the alternative music scene features heavy too which is always a plus for me

Who need Spotify when they are pouring cash through AI weapons into Israel. Do some research before you open your gob sunshine.

Labour are taking us back to the 80's but a bit poorer.
