\u201cOf course, the soundtrack will be sensational,\u201d he added.<\/p>
\u201cSteven has taken his knowledge of this time and place and used it to weave a brilliantly original and characterful drama, set against the musical backdrop of ska and two-tone,\u201d said Ben Irving, Acting Director of BBC Drama. \u201cWe are thrilled to be able to bring this unique piece to viewers on the BBC.\u201d<\/p>\n
And Executive Producer Karen Wilson added, \u201cSteven\u2019s passion for this project is palpable so I couldn\u2019t be more excited to be making it for BBC One.<\/p>\n
\u201cSet in the West Midlands, against a moment of real cultural and historical progression, it will be compelling, diverse, and will have a rocking soundtrack to boot.\u201d<\/p>\n
