What happens

Made in Britain is a 1983 British television play written by David Leland and directed by Alan Clarke. It follows a 16-year-old racist skinhead and his constant confrontations with authority figures. It was broadcast on ITV on 10 July 1983 as the fourth in an untitled series of works by Leland (including Birth of a Nation), about different aspects of the British educational system, which subsequently acquired the overall title of Tales Out of School. It marked Tim Roth's television debut. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
