Tony Grounds Winner of the Best Drama Award at the Broadcast 2000 Awards. It has also been nominated for a British Academy Television Award for Best Drama Serial. The ceremony takes place on 14 May 2000. [Other nominees are Kid In The Corner, Warriors, and Wives And Daughters]. |
"All
dressed up in dark suits and shades, looking remarkably like the
characters in Tarantino's 'Reservoir Dogs', Alan, Graham and Terry
set out on a marathon stag day. Friends since primary school, the
trio are celebrating the impending marriage of Terry to his pregnant
girlfriend Pat.
All
is going well, with a stretch limo at their disposal, copious amounts
of champagne and old times lovingly mulled over. But, as the night
progresses, the three friends make a decision that is to rebound
across the rest of their lives.
Stylishly
shot and distinctly strange in tone, this serial, written by Tony
'Our Boy' Grounds, showcases the considerable talents of Ray Winstone
and Mark Strong. Grounds is billing it as a 'serious comedy'. Viewers
who are tired of formulaic drama should welcome the challenge that
this presents."
