The making of Rita, Sue and Bob Too: "It was a much more cavalier time" | BFI
Фильм және анимация
Rita, Sue and Bob Too, Alan Clarke's film about two teenage girls from Bradford who start an affair with an older man, was released 30 years ago. To celebrate, the film-makers, including stars George Costigan, Michelle Holmes and Kulvinder Ghir, attended a Q&A at London's BFI Southbank and talked about how the film, which was written by Andrea Dunbar, came about via a culture of on set risk-taking.

The film is brilliant but sadly for a variety of reasons could never be made today. George Costigan I will say also is a hugely underrated actor.
One of the best British movies of the 1980s. It was as close to reality as they could achieve.

I’m a British Asian and started secondary school in 1989. Films like this are cornerstones in British culture and shows us how life was in the 80’s. It’s absolutely hilarious but the sad truth is today’s world would never have the balls to make such a film. I’m so lucky to have seen this near the time it was made and as a 46 year old I absolutely adore how it has stood the test of time 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It is my favourite British movie ever. Hilarious and accurate.
Michelle Holmes, what a set of bangers she has on her, magnificent.
They captured Britain so god damn well. I wonder if they knew they were making such a cult classic when they were making it? Excellent film. Excellent.

She tried to tell us. Such an important film. Shame the ending didn't fit what she said, but the school uniforms, all the shouting, the betting slips & lack of homework are just how I remember it too x
Shame the best Actor and the man who made the film Willie Ross is not there.. RIP Willie.
Reminds me of my childhood. I was born and bred on a Manchester council estate 55 years ago, and the film is so accurate it gives me goosebumps whenever I watch it. Brilliantly observed by Andrea Dunbar at such a young age.
Love this film and the story behind it . Thanks for uploading this ☺️
'Make your own fucking tea' classic, still use it today. That Bob, 'Can't half go like clappers'
It’s not a proper reunion without the Rita actress and the actress who played Bob’s wife
Not been to Bradford for years....last time was there was in the National Film and TV museum. Can't remember a Rita, Sue & Bob Too section. Shame! Love this film
it was a quality northern gritty, true to real life film,as were the kitchen sink 60's films and there like, if ever proof were needed that the genre still has a place today.

Still some great British filmmakers still flying the social realist flag, like Andrea Arnold, Lynne Ramsay, Shane Meadows, Clio Barnard, Guy Myhill, Andrew Haigh, Aaron Dunleavy, Luna Carmoon, Richard Billingham, Daniel Wolfe, Francis Lee, etc. Some great stuff from outside the UK too from the likes of Sean Baker, Destin Daniel Cretton, and Andrea Pallaoro.

The Dad- Where the Fuck have you been to this fucking time in the Morning.
I spent a couple of evenings with Willie Ross in around 1993, when he was in a play at West Yorkshire Playhouse. Hugely entertaining character. I was a stand-up comedian at the time: he saw my act and was quite complimentary. I asked how I'd go down in the Working Men's Clubs and he replied, "Aw, ye'd die a horrible death, son." On another occasion, I asked what had happened to his eye, and he said, "What the fuck's it got to do with you?" Someone else mentioned his role in Our Friends In The North: Willie was a talented and underrated actor.
God I remember watch this when I was about 8 late at nite on Ch 4 back in the good old days very good movie
