Richard E Grant , Amanda Root and Peter Capaldi star as Giles, Judith and David in a new comedy drama series by Paul Shearer and Richard Turner.
They seemed to have it all - ambition, optimism and degrees from one of the country's top universities. The three friends were once "full of potential". Now well into their 30s, they are simply "might have beens". Self-employed and trapped in a Streatham flat, they live off the crumbs offered them by richer friends.

That, at least, is how some journalists characterise the public's ambiguous attitude towards violence. While deploring its impact on our society, many people, nonetheless, find it fascinating.
Edward Stourton talks to ex-cons, reporters, editors and press analysts about why this bleaker side of human nature is the one which sells newspapers.
