A SCREEN ONE: SWEET NOTHING This remarkable love story set against a background of urban homelessness stars Lee Ross, who appeared in the widely acclaimed Amongst Barbarians, and Charlotte Coleman from Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit. Abandoned schoolboy Phil (Ross, above left, with Coleman, Victor Maddern, Joan Heal, and front, Emma Daniel) follows streetwise Ros (Coleman) into a fantastic township created by London's homeless, where they find the care missing from their lives. Coleman praises the way this often misrepresented topic has been handled. 'Young homeless people are not a different species,' she says, 'Many of them retain their dignity.' 9.20pm BBC
