 When Molloy takes him to task over a badly built wall, Hughes headbutts him and kicks down the wall, storming off with his much-loved children in tow.In perhaps the most memorable episode of the series, Bleasdale shows the complete disintegration of Yosser's life as his children are taken into care, he is made homeless and finally tries to commit suicide in a lake.Constantly trying to run the gauntlet of psychiatrists, social workers and creditors, Yosser makes numerous pathetic attempts to re-establish his identity and sense of self-worth, at one point gatecrashing a charity event to meet his apparent lookalike Graeme Souness.
