Was on Sunday nights probably about 15yrs ago for maybe 6 episodes. About 2 Liverpool teenage lads who go down to rural Wales to lay low from their bad lad ways back home. The older boy falls in love with a local girl & stays, whilst in the last episode the younger boy returns to Liverpool where he is killed driving a stolen car. It is by a now acclaimed playwright and was one of his 1st things on tv ( so acclaimed, Ive forgotten who!) I would particularly like to know the name of the show so that I can start to search for the song that was used as the theme tune. many thanks.

Possibly 'One Summer'?
