What happens

Making Out is a British television series, shown by the BBC between 6 January 1989 and 12 November 1991. The series, created by Franc Roddam, and written by Debbie Horsfield, mixed comedy and drama in its portrayal of the women who worked on the factory floor at New Lyne Electronics in Manchester, tackling the personal lives of the characters as well as wider issues of recession, redundancy and retrenchment as the factory goes through various crises and takeovers. The music for the series was composed by New Order (The Other Two in final episodes). The main theme for the show is an adaptation of the song "Vanishing Point". There is a specific mix of this song called the Making Out Mix. In September 2023, the series was made available on BBC iPlayer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
