The Expert: Dependence: Part 2: A Life Lost

on BBC Two England

by N.J. Crisp
Starring Marius Goring
with Ann Morrish
and Victor Winding, Michael Farnsworth, Valerie Murray
Guest stars, Moray Watson, Frances White, Cherith Mellor, Tom Chadbon

It is said that drug addicts make poor parents. How do a young couple, both of whom are addicts. cope with attending to the needs of their small baby? How does one begin to take drugs in the first place? Should a drug addict marry?
The harsh realism of these two episodes owes a great deal to the painstaking, and often painful, research done by the producer, director, and scriptwriter in the twilight world of London's drug addicts - a world where people are middle-aged at 20 and dead by 30
