The series was effectively an Anthology programme, following the lives of a group of workers at a Manchester textile factory, with each episode focusing on the home life of a different character. Well-known actors who appeared in the series included Christopher Eccleston , Lesley Sharp , Emma Cunniffe , Diane Parish , David Morrissey and Sarah Lancashire .

The series was highly acclaimed by the critics, winning the British Academy Television Award for Best Drama Series in 2001 . However, over the course of the following two years Abbott's work on the series decreased as he moved on to other projects. Nonetheless, every series was nominated for a BAFTA and other writers such as Danny Brocklehurst , John Fay and Jan McVerry wrote successful stand-alone episodes. The programme finally ended, after a series with no Abbott scripts at all, in 2003.

Overall twenty-seven episodes were produced across the four series, and in 2004 the first series was released on DVD .
