"Timothy Spall stars with George Cole, Annette Crosbie and Lesley Manville in Bodily Harm, an intense and moving, two-part story of modern family life. The Greenfields are an apparently ordinary suburban family whose lives are suddenly rocked to their foundations. As Mitchel Greenfield (Timothy Spall) approaches his dreaded 44th birthday party he would seem to have it all. His marriage to Mandy (Lesley Manville) is a loving one. He is a successful sharebroker. He dotes on his teenage daughter Nic (Sadie Thompson) and Mitch can't do enough for his elderly parents Sidney (George Cole) and Sheila (Annette Crosbie). On the surface all seems well in this safe suburban world but Mitchel is about to experience the worst day of his life. He loses his job. Nic wants to leave home and he accidentally discovers that Mandy is not the loyal wife he once thought. Added to this he finds out that his father's illness is terminal. All this is played out as family and friends gather to celebrate Mitchel's 44th birthday."

Close And True was a legal drama starring Robson Green, James Bolam, Nicola Grier......
"Robson Green stars as John Close, a well meaning but inexperienced solicitor who takes over the running of a run down Newcastle legal practice. James Bolam plays Graham True, the founding partner of the practice John takes over and who now happily resides in a mental hospital and becomes an unlikely mentor for John Close."
