Stephen Graham criticises the portrayal of working class families in British dramas as he admits they are made to look 'miserable'


The actor, 51, who claims to have a working class background, feels it is often misinterpreted in TV shows.

Speaking at the Next On Netflix event, the father of two said: ‘The idea came as - over the past ten years or so - we’ve seen an epidemic of knife crime amongst young lads, up and down the country. Speaking about playing alongside thirteen-year-old Owen Morris, Graham said he was very aware of turning young kids down, resulting in one scene having 400 children in it. Other shows announced at the event included Havoc, an action thriller fronted by Tom Hardy, an untitled Victoria Beckham documentary and Lena Dunham romcom Too Much.
