Summaries

The second in Penny Woolcock's Tina trilogy, Tina Takes A Break was made in 2001 and is the best of the TV outings. Set on a tough housing estate in Beeston, Leeds and employing the real folk who live their to play the characters, the first film had a Shameless like exuberance that depicted the residents as akin to rough diamonds, doing what they had to to survive. This second film is the other side of the coin, opting for poignancy as the rough and ready lifestyle of the estate is shown through the eyes of infants.—Ask
