Synopsis
Steven Berkoff stars in Silent Night, an original television drama based on his sell-out play Harry's Christmas.

Harry hates Christmas. It's that time when the world spins in a frenzy of seasonal cheer. But other people's happiness only compounds Harry's misery. Consigned to spend yet another desolate Yuletide with his ageing mother, Harry yearns for the festive flavour to brighten his life. Even a few Christmas cards would do. But when he checks his mail his heart sinks. Of the six letters he has received, the nicest one is from the insurance company hoping to lull their errant customer into a false sense of security before calling in bad debts. Depressed, lonely and ruefully resigned to a fetid festive season, Harry prepares for seasonal suicide.
