Alan Bleasdale
Paul Allen talks to the celebrated television dramatist who has enthralled viewers with serials such as Boys from the Blackstuff, GBH and Jake's 's Progress. On Monday at 9pm his latest offering, the five-part Melissa, starts on Channel 4. A homage to a script originally written by Francis Durbridge in the sixties, it marks a departure for Bleasdale.
