Plots(1)
Each episode tells a self-contained contemporary story in which the characters have reached a turning point in their lives and are trying to move on. McGovern's themes are dark and disturbingly close to home, the issues complex and provocative. They range from fatherhood and bullying to late-life romance; from teenage angst to painful truths. Jimmy McGovern's anthology series has been running since 2009 featuring Britain's top acting and writing talent, telling contemporary stories about people confronting the dilemmas life throws at them.
