LOVED UP (1997)

PETER CATTANEO

Plot

A cautionary tale from those very nice people at the BBC, showing just what happens when you fall in with a "bad lot". When Sarah, a waitress, meets Tom in the Dew Drop Inn, it's pretty much love at first sight, and next day she moves in with him. So far, so good. Then Tom introduces her to Ecstacy, and pretty soon Sarah's gurning, chewing and babbling nonsense with the best of 'em, her crappy home life and alcoholic mum all but forgotten. But all good things come to an end, so they say, and Sarah's increasing involvement in the world of pharmaceuticals becomes more of a pain than a pleasure. (Basically she can't take the pace.) Can her relationship with Tom survive in the real world, or is it just a drug-fuelled fling? And does she really want to find out? You should've just said no, love!
