The series followed the fortunes of a fictional second division Football team, Brentwich United. The football scenes were filmed on the grounds of Stoke City with Jimmy Hill acting as a technical advisor, and the efforts to achieve authenticity saw the show being criticised by the management of Wolverhampton Wanderers , who complained that the series was based on their team. ''United!'' was not a success, and was axed after two years. The series was generally too soft to appeal to male viewers, and too male-oriented and sweaty for the female Soap Opera audience. As was common television practice of the time, all the episodes were Wiped , with none of the 147 screened being known to have survived in the archives. Created by Anthony Cornish , other writers on the programme included Gerry Davis , Brian Hayles , Malcolm Hulke and John Lucarotti . The Directors included Innes Lloyd and Derek Martinus .
