Screen Two: In the Cold Light of Day

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

It is the late 1930s and some British households still eagerly await the arrival of electricity. When a pylon is erected in the garden, Morris's mother can't wait to show off her Swedish lumbago belt and toaster. But Morris is gripped by a deeper passion that will change his life - one that will not be illuminated for 50 years.
This darkly comic story of suburban family life in the north of England has a strong cast including Frances Barber ,
Jim Carter , Stephanie Cole , Bernard Hepton and Ronald Pickup.
Producer Tatiana Kennedy ; Written and directed by Richard Monks Stereo
