Plot

One of Leigh's early TV pieces, and one of the most savagely brilliant pieces of social drama you will ever see. A cast to kill for brings to life a dysfunctional working-class family in which father and son hate each other and unemployment has robbed them of their dignity. Superb characters and script.
