Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at people who like their stories with a little danger and anyone who loves a strong drama. Very British, in all the best ways. Shelve it next to The Accused or The Long Good Friday.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 42 min.
What might put you off
Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.

A special, video only story set on the Brookside close. On Friday 14th November 1997, a five night a week storyline ended in a cliffhanger and this video completes the story - a tale of kidnapping extortion and violence. The action-packed episode features faces from the show's past including Sheila Grant (Sue Johnston) and wayward son Barry Grant (Paul Usher), and is written by series creator Phil Redmond.
