I've just viewed the first episode of the drama "GBH" from 1991. I remember it well from its first transmission.<br>

It was wonderful to see Colin Douglas in what was sadly his last role before he passed away.<br>

There's "A Very British Coup" with the excellent Ray McAnally in one of his last roles too (1988).<br>

<div>Thank you! I’ve studied linguistics, but anything that will “improve my ear” is welcome. Maybe if I moved over there?...
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Michael Goodliffe is outstanding (maybe the last major role before he took his own life?) as is Mona Bruce. These people just BECAME their characters. Like Patrick Troughton as Harry Porter. I’m only up to Episode 3 so I expect other pleasures await...<br>
