Search: Starring Peter Bowles

For better or worse, Antonioni’s got his master stylist hat on here, even if it sometimes obscures his vision.

Ivay handles drug scenes with the same level of acuity and confidence seen in classics like Trainspotting and Withnail And I.

The atmosphere and aesthetics are engrossing and go a long way to carrying the show.

Although the pacing is sometimes poor, the sentiment - while occasionally straying towards the sentimental - is heartfelt and sweet spirited.

This high-speed dash through the story, gets away with some of its failings thanks to its sheer velocity but it just as often hurtles past what could be a poignant moment, when you wish Williamson would just take a breath.

Its strength lies in the fact that it never takes itself too seriously or tries to be more than an entertaining romp.

There are few surprises except for good writing, engaging stories and brilliant performances by stalwarts of UK drama.
