Trivia:
Although no name is given to the fictional city in which GBH is set, it is assumed to be Liverpool. The character of Michael Murray is probably based on Derek Hatton, the former Labour leader of the Liverpool city council who achieved notoriety in the 1980s when he refused to co-operate with the rate-capping policy of the Conservative government.

Just an addendum to my review: someone commented on the important scene which takes place during a Dr Who convention. 28 years previously, G.B.H. executive producer Verity Lambert had been the legendary original producer of Dr Who, who recruited William Hartnell as the first Doctor. There's no way that scene was a coincidence :)
