Michael Sheen plays the part of outspoken 70s football manager Brian Clough. Before taking up the post of manger at Leeds United, Brian Clough accepted an offer from Brighton & Hove Albion and in a couple of scenes we see him visit the prom and a house looking down on the marina.
Scarborough doubled for the city, however, with computer trickery used to convince at least this viewer! Perhaps the Producer’s had taken note of one of Clough’s scripted lines; “Bollocks to Brighton, we’d be dead down there!”.
