A group of unemployed steelworkers become male strippers
This hugely successful comedy set in Sheffield features several scenes that include the city’s Siemens-built Supertrams. One is passing the Job Centre in West Street and a close look suggests that it could be the last built, No.025. In a later hilltop scene viewed from Mount Road, Parkwood Springs, there is a very distant view of a tram passing through the streets, and towards the end there is a scene filmed on Infirmary Road, at the junction with Barrack Lane, and a tram passes by in the background. The trams are still in their as delivered, uninspiring, white and grey livery.
