'I'm Yosser Hughes.' Once Yosser dreamt of making it big - as the boys have good reason to remember. Now his dreams have shrunk to one pervading nightmare - losing his children. Life presents one challenge to his manic competitiveness-hanging on to them at any cost.
"Performance of the week came from Bernard Hill as Yosser Hughes. Make that performance of the year - a script of classic, unsparing tragedy." (Daily Express)
"As disturbing and powerful as any drama seen recently on television." (Standard)
