[REL] Fiona's Story (2008) TV
Posted: Sun Aug 31, 2008 11:40 am
This looks promising.........
Fiona's Story Sunday 31 August
9:00pm - 10:30pm
BBC1
Fiona's Story strikes right at the very heart of every family's sense of security, happiness and wellbeing as it grapples with the fall-out from a terrible accusation. Gina McKee plays Fiona, a stay-at-home mum who is married to Simon (Jeremy Northam). They are prosperous, have three sweet daughters and live in a large and beautiful home. But the foundations of their lives together start to crumble when the police ring the doorbell one morning and Simon is arrested for downloading internet pictures of sexually abused children. Immediately Fiona has to marshal her defences as the questions tumble forth. Who does she tell? Anyone or no-one? Do the children need to be protected from their father? Kate Gabriel's script doesn't provide any easy answers as she explores what happens when trust breaks down. It's often uncomfortable to watch, of course, but both the leads are brilliant - McGee as she veers from shock and disbelief through to anger, and Northam as he hurtles into despair, only to rise, deluded, manipulative and self-pitying.
I'll be recording this for release.
Cheers!
