Saturday Night

Director Brian Hill / UK / 1996 / 50mins

It’s Saturday night in Leeds – time to escape the workaday week.

Ian’s an ex-con with a fistful of Es. Jackie’s a hostess with a dinner party to feed. Lola’s a drag queen out for the night. Mike’s a singing millionaire in trousers too tight.

Just another ordinary Saturday evening? Or one to remember?

With narration in verse by poet Simon Armitage, we go in search of the heart of Saturday night through the lives of assorted revellers, ravers, rogues and cross-dressers.
