Clocking Off' was similar to 'Making Out' and set in a Mill (shot on Park Rd, Dukinfield) and was about the lives of the women working there (actor Keith Allen was their boss). The titles and content are so similar I can't remember which was filmed ten years ago with Keith Allen and which was filmed recently with Sarah Lancashire and Chris Eccleston. | | Phil in Manchester says:
