I felt closer to this episode as my ancestor who emigrated from Durham to the USA in 1886 to join an emigrant daughter out there sailed from Liverpool, and he returned to England a few years later then returned to America, this time for good, in April 1892 and sailed from Liverpool.
Also I have an ancestor sibling was a railwayman from Oxfordshire who moved to Liverpool. He married there, so his father's (my ancestor) name and rank is given in a Liverpool church. I quite liked Brookside and The Royle Family but yes, Ricky did act like he was the only one whose ancestors lived in slums.
