Bodily Harm,
written by Tony Grounds and starring Timothy Spall, tells the powerful and
moving story of a regular, suburban family rocked to its very foundations.
Mitchel
Greenfield (Timothy Spall) is about to experience the worst day of his life. Not
only is there trouble at work, but all is not well within his beloved family.
Nic (played by newcomer Sadie Thompson), the daughter he dotes on, wants to
leave home and he soon discovers Mandy (Lesley Manville) is not the loyal wife
he once thought. Added to this he finds out that his father Sidney's (George
Cole) illness is terminal, a burden his mother Sheila (Annette Crosbie) has been
reluctant to share. All this is played out as family and friends gather to
celebrate Mitchel's birthday, leading to devastating emotional results.
