Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | G.B.H. is a drama by Alan Bleasdale that was first shown on British TV in 1991. It has elements both of British Conspiracy Thriller and psychological drama, as well as pure comedy and farce. The plot concerns Michael Murray (Robert Lindsay), the charismatic leader of an unnamed Council who, as a show of strength against the then Conservative government, calls a one-day strike of all council services, except that a Special Needs school is accidentally not informed of this. The headmaster, Jim Nelson (Michael Palin) is then asked to apologise for crossing a picket line. He refuses, causing him to be a target for Michael Murray's thuggish supporters. The rest of the series concerns the conflict between the two men as well as their own psychological battles; Michael Murray, in particular, is haunted by a traumatic incident from his childhood. Gradually, it is revealed that both men are merely pawns in a game designed by the British Establishment to discredit the Left. |
