Programme - Shelagh Delaney's Salford

Watching BBC Four programme 'Shelagh Delaney's Salford' 
I'm surprised I haven't seen it before but found a site where you can watch all old TV programmes and there are lots on Ken Loach and Shelagh so I'll be able to get some good research out of them. 
Shelagh in the programme talks about her love for Salford and how inspirational it is for writing. 

Some quotes I found important 
'It's the same sort of thing that happens educationally. It forces people into restlessness. The children grow up and this is the difficult thing they go to school, as I went to school, and, um, you spend how many years at school? I don't know. But you spend a long time and don't seem to get anywhere.' 

'And I was dead lucky about that, but so many aren't as lucky. And this is the tragedy, this is the terrible tragedy. And this, more or less, is what the play is about. You get three sets of people there's old people, they're done, their restlessness is over. And the young ones are just about embarking on their careers, but in the middle you get this chaos of middle age where you don't really know.' 


'I knew that back at secondary school that I'd been sent from, half the girls there and half the boys were just as capable of doing, of doing that same sort of thing as I was doing, knowing as much as I knew. And it seemed a terrible shame to me that they should be left there with the prospect of leaving school at 15, and, you know, just doing, well going into an office or anything.'
