Alan Clarke did this amazing film called 'Stars Of The Roller State Disco' back in about 1984, I think. You can't get it anywhere, but apparently there's a clip on YOUTUBE with a bit of Wogan thrown in. I saw it at the BFI in the early noughties. It was a BBC drama, maybe a 'Play For Today', can't quite remember, but it's basically a dystopian vision of Thatcher's Britain (OK, Thatchland was a dystopia anyway, but you know what I mean) set in a roller rink / job centre (!) where unemployed youth are forced to skate mindlessly in circles until they get a job! Warped social-realist fantasy at its best! Wish someone would release it (come on, BFI!)

This looks amazing.
