Double Vision + Ray Gets A Job
The great Tyneside bluesman Ray Stubbs has a long association with Amber and is one of the regular actors in the films. Made shortly after Seacoal, Double Vision: Boxing for Hartlepool (1986, 60 mins) is another early experiment in the creative possibilities between documentary and drama. Ray Gets a Job (1987, 10 mins) is one of the 'soap' dramas Shields Stories made around the issues that the community was dealing with while Amber was developing its North Shields residency.
