LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON

A tense, psychological thriller starring Jemma Redgrave (Doctor Who), Robson Green (Grantchester, Touching Evil, Wire in the Blood), Phil Davis (Vera Drake, Poldark), and Tara Fitzgerald (Game of Thrones, C.B. Strike, Waking the Dead). Dee Stanton (Redgrave) seems to have it all - she's progressing up the career ladder and has just had a marriage proposal from her boyfriend Dominic (Green). It's a far cry from the day 11 years ago when she arrived home with her young son to discover that her husband Paul has been arrested for brutally murdering four young women. Dee has moved on from those dark days, but her 15-year-old son Jamie is determined to find out more about his father. He researches the case on the internet and finally meets his dad, with his interest verging on obsession. Then on day, Dee is forced to face a mother's worst nightmare when Jamie is accused of strangling a fellow pupil at school. Is he turning out like his father - a serial killer serving life for four counts of murder? Is nature stronger than nurture, or is prejudice going to condemn Jamie anyway? (2005, 2 feature-length EPS)
