Whittleworth in Dubai UAE says:
Clocking
Off' was similar to 'Making Out' and set in a Mill (shot on
Park Rd, Dukinfield) and
was about the lives of the women working there (actor Keith
Allen was their boss). The titles and content are so similar
I can't remember which was filmed ten years ago with Keith Allen
and which was filmed recently with Sarah Lancashire and Chris
Eccleston. |
