There's something ironic for me in posting a 1980s TV series called Maggie, but we'll move quickly on from the ethical implications .... This was a BBC Scotland teatime teenage drama series about a girl growing in Glasgow in the infamous Red Road flats - also seen in this film. They're now demolished, which is particularly poignant for this series, as Maggie's family have just moved in after their tenement was demolished ... which neatly encapsulates the failures of Glasgow's housing policies in the later 20th century. First episode survives on youtube and I've grabbed it for the unusual Princess special edition but not pursuing further episodes. Rejects from ep 1.01: - GS and 504 estates; Bedford TK tipper |
