Bawdy bellylaughs aplenty in this riotous spoof set in the fictional northern town of Utterley in the 1930s
Timothy West plays Bradley Hardacre, a granite-hard industrialist with an unhealthy appetite for power, money and women. Having worked his way from coal mine to corporate ownership, his only regret in life is his family – thick as mother’s soup, spoilt and unworthy of his riches. If only he could have spawned a couple of real men like the Fairchild boys. But the Fairchilds are his sworn enemies, consigned, as they are, to the same gutter from where Bradley sprung. Brilliantly sending up the empire-building sagas, Brass is a riot of class-war melodrama and delicious double entendre.
