What Is Scully About?
The premise of Scully without spoilers.
Set in Liverpool, this 1984 Channel 4 drama, based on the BBC Play‑For‑Today story “Scully’s New Year’s Eve”, was written by Alan Bleasdale and runs six half‑hour episodes plus a one‑hour finale. Teenager Francis Scully dreams of a Liverpool FC trial, imagining stars like Kenny Dalglish. Teachers promise the trial if he joins the school pantomime, while he and friends cause street mischief and picture the caretaker as “Dracula”. The series includes many members of Liverpool’s first‑team squad of the era.
