Starring Lee Ross, Charlotte Coleman, Janet McTeer
Life turns into a nightmare one day when schoolboy Phil comes home, opens the front door, and finds nothing - a deserted house. Fleeing to London he is drawn into the nightmare world of the dispossessed. Then he meets Ros, who opens the door into an even stranger world.

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
