  • help with a UK TV drama from the 80s..

    The UK, in the '80...

    It was a mini drama (can't remember what channel it was shown on).

    It was about two escaped convicts/petty criminals who, on the run in some moors, come acrosse a cabin, & end up befriending an older man with a beard (who I think used to be a teacher).

    Can't remember all of it, but near the end of the series, the older man is gay, & makes a move on one of the criminals (who is also a bit simple I think).

    He goes nuts, and they run off, & in the end try to rob a petrol station - & in the confusion, the simple one steals a car but drives it accidently into a petrol tank, & explodes, killing him.

    Can't remember anything else, but I know I started crying when I saw him get blown up (& I wasn't that old:P)

    Anyways, any help on what this could be, etc...

      Yep, certainly sounds like 'One Summer'. I bought it on DVD a few years ago, it's a cracking drama, can really recommend it.

        well, after checking out 'one summer' on imdb, and seeing the guy with the beard with a drawing board on the cover, i think this is indeed what it is.

        thank you all for the help - i am off to buy the dvd ...

          While you're at it I strongly reccomend MADE IN BRITAIN. Could have been on for longer and they could have at least put the borstal sequence mentione don the back in.
