Of growing up working class and feeling unwelcome and uninitiated in middle class environments, whilst simultaneously keeping yourselves at a distance. It’s about navigating the British Class system, and how if you take the carrot of social mobility, it’s not without its price. A push-pull on both sides, a traitor or an outsider. A feeling of being between two worlds, but if you had to choose (and sometimes it feels like you are asked to choose), the pull of your roots and what shaped your early life usually wins out; “Though I’m walking lines, I know where my allegiance lies.” \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cem\u003e—\u003c\/em\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePat \/ ACHERS\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"We’re immensely proud of this ep.
