Is it a dated piece about a woman's dilemma, where she is forced to choose between her chastity and her brother's life? Or is it the revelation of a sinister chain of procurement, where no virtue is left untarnished? These are the questions Bogdanov and the others will address themselves to.  More

Well, that's exactly what C4's two likely lads Pincy and Billy are feeling right now, as the series Prospects (Wednesday at 9pm) enters its third week. Gary Olsen and Brian Bovell star as the two young East End lads, on the dole, out of luck, nine weeks rent overdue and going nowhere fast...  More >

"How can a person be expected to operate in this world if theyWre skint?" he moans this week (and you can almost see dollar signs flickering in his eyes as he has another idea!) Pincy's scheme is foolproof, or so he thinks, but it certainly isn't bank- manager-proof...it's his Uncle Harry's system for betting on the dogs. He's turned down flat for a cash loan, which isn't that surprising really.  More >

But Billy (Brian Bovell) is too preoccupied with his forthcoming court appearance on a charge of grievous bodily harm to pay any attention to Pincy's hapless schemes. However, Prospects (on Wednesday at 9pm) is not all jokes and mishaps. It's a stark, contemporary look at life on the dole in a big city with no chance of employment..gripping stuff.  More >
