Talk:G.B.H. (TV series)

message: The article previously said this was set in the mid 80's, I changed this to late as in the series his doctor reads back a medical record made in 1988 there fore this would have to be later than the mid 80's, since he spoke about 1988 in the past tense, I think it would mostl likely be 1989 atleast.
It is set in the 90's: one of the characters says, "This is the Nineties!" Pololei (talk) 00:56, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm adding this here because it's too original research for the article itself, but the inspiration for the plot line of the council employee standing out against the council's strike, and then being victimised with their workplace being closed down and demolished, was almost certainly the Harthill greenhouses. They were the base for Liverpool's Botanic Garden and had an international reputation for cultivating orchids.
After the council came under the control of Militant in 1983, it began to call 'Days of Action'. The gardeners did not join in, and the council determined to get rid of them - first by transferring them to a completely different area of work, and then (when this was ruled unlawful) by closing down the entire unit and demolishing the greenhouses themselves. 
See this speech by David Alton mentioning the Harthill gardeners. The Liverpool Daily Post reports on what became of the orchids and some of the gardeners. Sam Blacketer (talk) 15:04, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Real-life inspiration 

message: Have removed this from the article's information on the title: The title "GBH" is never explained within the series. Aside from any metaphorical use of the term, the series concerns a plot to implicate Murray in a conspiracy to cause GBH. (In the final—seventh—episode, a warrant is issued for Murray's arrest on the charge of "conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm.")
The article states: however, the actual intent of the letters is that it is supposed to stand for Great British Holiday (as revealed by Bleasdale in an interview on the DVD). It would be helpful if someone could check the DVD. It's possible that Bleasdale's comments are entirely tongue-in-cheek. The claim is referred to on some websites, though it's often treated cautiously or with suspicion. Pololei (talk) 02:14, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for File:GBH-DVD-COVER-2.jpg

message: In the plot description there is a mention of the character "Academic Mervyn Sloane", but he's not in the cast list. I can still remember this series (far better than the "Prime Suspect" which somehow beat it to the BAFTA that year) and my memory is suggesting it was Paul Daneman - is this correct?

replies: text: Yes, and the character was important enough that he ought to be added to the list. His first name was not "Academic", though!—Jerome Kohl (talk) 19:09, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
