Premiere: Deasey (Desperate)

on BBC Two England

by Ron Hutchinson
A new series of films by directors making their drama TV debut.
with Bill Nighy as Deasey and T.P. McKenna as FG
Deasey is a dreamer - torn between earning his precarious living as reporter on the London end of a Dublin paper, and writing the 'Great Irish Novel'. Perhaps a meeting with old friend, pop-star Noel, will clarify things in his unclear mind? But then again, perhaps it won't.
