Behaving Badly was a 1989 Channel 4 mini-series starring Judi Densch.
Never Come Back was a BBC 3-part thriller set in WWII. Somebody contributed this to IMDB:
The handsome hero (Nathaniel Parker) finds himself taken up as the lover of a mysterious and detached young woman from a far more elevated social class. And from then on his luck changes - very much for the worse. Why suddenly is someone very nasty on his trail and trying to kill him? Very reminiscent of Patrick Hamilton's viciousness and sordidness, this story instead reaches into the top draw of society (wonderful performances from James Fox - sinister but apparently pleasant with it and his upper class thug assistant played with glove-like fit by Martin Clunes) who both amiably narrowly avoid torturing our hero to death.
Superficially resembling the ripping yarn The 39 Steps, as already said Never Come Back has the entirely superior qualities of a Patrick Hamilton story, furthermore it deals with themes which 70 years later, are still not fully exposed to daylight.
The production and script are excellent and give an authentic period impression. All in all something of a landmark TV production.
