ACCUSED
By Jimmy McGoven
Unflinching drama from the award winning Jimmy McGovern
(Cracker, Hillsborough, The Street) and starring Warren Brown,
Peter Capaldi, Mackenzie Crook, Christopher Eccleston, Naomie
Harris, Andy Serkis, Ben Smith, Juliet Stevenson and Marc Warren.
Weaving tales of fascinating hypothetical scenarios, Accused is
a gripping blend of true to-life situations, moral dilemmas and
intriguing characters. Each story is about an ordinary person who
ends up in the dock. But should these men and women be there?
Are they innocent or guilty or somewhere in between? As each
hour long episode unravels we see how these people became
the accused and finally whether they walk free or go down...
