It takes about an hour in actor Joe Gilgun’s company to learn he’s had an intimate, bodily relationship with almost every corner of his hometown. We’re there – Rivington, Lancashire – and he’s hovering near a reservoir, beaming, as his PR, his good friend Dave, our photographer and I look on. “I’m doing a piss in it!” Joe says, pretending to do just that into the water. Everyone laughs, because he’s always excelled at being the class clown. “Have you done that before, in there?” I ask. “Piss in it?

Yeah!” A pause. “I shouldn’t say that.” In ten minutes, he’ll have run down a sharp bank, and taken an actual piss up a tree, suggesting our photographer document that. Five minutes after that, his publicist will ask we not include the piss photos.

That’s why you’ll not find many interviews with him, beyond group junkets.

He has bipolar II – the disorder type that involves more frequent cycling of moods and depressive periods – and he’ll later tell me he’s having a depressive day today. This went completely unnoticed: he’s entertaining and forthcoming, steamrolling through story after story in his thick Lancashire accent. This is England's Joseph Gilgun knows what it is to be young, bored and poor.

It is a timely look at life under austerity in a post-industrial town for young people abandoned by people in power. Gilgun is a natural storyteller. It is easy to see how his life could inspire a TV series. “These places are struggling,” says Gilgun. “They have a proud past as ex-mill towns.

But there isn’t an awful lot there if you are working class. Brassic is a commentary on what is, for a lot of young men, a way of life. Which is getting by whatever way you can.” This is a world Gilgun knows well. “These places have been abandoned. You have kids smashing stuff up every night.

They are bored. It is pissing down, they have nowhere to go, fuck it, let’s smash a bus stop or draw a cock on the wall.
