In the script is simon beaufoy, which won the Oscar for best screenplay for the text of the film. Together with him we have Alice Nutter.
In the words of Beaufoy:
«One of the great joys of my career as a screenwriter has been bringing together this eccentric and crazy family of Sheffield men and women and seeing how 25 years, 7 prime ministers and 100 broken political promises have affected their lives.»
While, Alice Nutter declares:
“Entering the world of the Montys, where community, friends and family pitch in when the state has failed so miserably, has been a great personal reminder that there is still good in the world we live in. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to write for the series.”
