Clocking Off is a drama series that centres around the workers of a Manchester fabric factory. Each episode centres around a different character.
This page needs a better description. You can help this wiki by expanding or clarifying the information given.
Tropes used in Clocking Off include:
- British Accents: Mancunian. Ironically, Philip Glenister is famous for playing Mancunians Mack and Gene Hunt, but he is actually from the South.
- British Brevity: There are four series, and none was longer than seven episodes.
- Kitchen Sink Drama: A modern take on the genre.
- House Fire: Happens to Yvonne in episode 2.
- I Kiss Your Foot: Mack does this to his wife Catherine. It tells you everything you need to know about the dynamics in their marriage.
- Loads and Loads of Characters: There are four series, and each episode reveals the life of a character who is generally in the background during the rest of the series. This adds up to quite a lot of people.
- Oop North: Set in Manchester.
- A Touch of Class, Ethnicity, and Religion: Working class. Mack could be described as working class made good, because he's a wealthy factory owner with a working class accent.
- Workaholic: Mack
- Work Com: Actually somewhat averted. The characters all work in the same factory, but the stories are really about their personal lives, not about their jobs.
- Your Cheating Heart: Catherine. With anything in trousers.
