“I absolutely loved it. It felt like looking through a photo album… I thought the actors did an amazing job of completely embodying each different character. Also (I THINK) there was a woman in who had inspired a story about the asylum seeker. I really won’t forget her face as she watched it be played out. Magic.”
Helen, 41-64, Morecambe
“It’s one of my favourite things I have EVER seen. I don’t think a writer could ever have created those characters. The magic of verbatim! Such rich storytelling. The way it was all connected was incredible. Kept on our toes in the best way.”
Coral, 23-40, Wigan

“Really enjoyed it. I genuinely think this is an important piece politically and creatively and more people should see it! Really good to just let the opinions be heard – the good, the bad and the ugly.”
Amy, 23-40, Horwich
“I honestly really loved it. It had the right mix of honesty, humour, realism and really touching moments. It felt like an honest, pure and unfiltered view of not just Lancashire, but the North of England and the UK as a whole. Really impressive and I loved the set!”
Anon, 23-40, Bradford

“Loved the set, very atmospheric, actors were fantastic, lovely to see and hear so many real people’s voices”
Rosemary, 23-40, Burnley
“Heartwarming. Welcoming. Tender. Honest. Didn’t shy away from sharing experiences/opinions of those that could be considered disagreeable/controversial or provocative. Challenged me to think about where I live and what I can do for my community.”
Anon, 23-40, Rochdale
“This was an exhilarating, interesting and occasionally very moving story about my home county. It touched upon many themes which are really important to us all – the importance of the past, but the impossibility of halting change, whether for better or worse and its impact on Lancastrians old and new.”
