Sheridan and Lewis team up once more in this rightly acclaimed story of the injustice suffered by the Guildford Four. Some liberties may well have been taken with Conlon and Hill's story, but it makes for riveting, gut-wrenching viewing. Absolutely brilliant dramatisation that should have won Oscars.
