Television Film
Director: Charles Sturridge
Writer: Daran Little
Cinematographer: Tim Palmer
Composer: Adrian Johnston
Cast: David Dawson, Christian McKay, Shaun Dooley, Jane Horrocks, Sophia Di Martino, Steven Berkoff, Michelle Holmes, Jessie Wallace, Celia Imrie, Lynda Baron, James Roach, John Thomson

Tony Warren, a cocky, precocious young writer, and Harry Elton, a Canadian producer, fight against Granada executives to get Florizel Street (soon to be Coronation Street), a show about ordinary working class Mancunians, commissioned and produced, in this well acted, lovingly crafted, and generally entertaining television film, which is let down somewhat by some occasionally rather artificial sounding dialogue.
