Second in a two-part dramatisation by Andrew Lynch featuring the characters of Robert Tressell's novel The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists. The threat of civil unrest is gripping the country. Socialist ideas and talk of revolution are in the air as workers and managers come to blows, and an illegitimate child with a tragic secret is used as a pawn in a bigger game. With Johnny Vegas, Paul Whitehouse, Shirley Henderson, Raquel Cassidy. Directed by Dirk Maggs.
